UT Austin Institutional Reporting’s grade dashboard supplies the public course grade distributions. UT omits courses when confidentiality cannot be maintained because of course size or other restrictions. This section never fills in suppressed outcomes or treats an omitted course as having zero grades.

Course coverage requires a matched undergraduate catalog entry or a historical course number with supported undergraduate rank. 20 section records with unmatched 00 course-number ranks are excluded because their undergraduate level is unestablished.

Texas One Stop’s grade policy defines the point scale used here: A 4.00, A− 3.67, B+ 3.33, B 3.00, B− 2.67, C+ 2.33, C 2.00, C− 1.67, D+ 1.33, D 1.00, D− 0.67 and F 0.00. Other reported symbols are excluded from the GPA and the A-share denominator.

Catalog descriptions, prerequisites, core designations, historical flag labels, syllabi and CVs appear only when supplied by the official-source export. Each available document links to UT. Missing fields remain unavailable.

UT ended its Flags graduation requirement on April 7, 2025; see UT’s official notice. Retained flag labels describe historical source attributes. They do not establish current requirements or Core Communication (010) eligibility.

Use UT’s current core list and the official course schedule for your actual semester, then confirm your degree plan with UT. The 2025–26 Core 010 guidance has term-specific rules and does not establish Fall 2026 eligibility from an old Writing Flag. Policy sources checked October 27, 2026.

Mean grade points = sum of each grade’s count × its point value, divided by the total count of A through F letter grades. A share = A count ÷ that same letter-grade count × 100. A− is separate. A-range share combines A and A−. D/F share combines D+, D, D− and F.

Counts are pooled before rounding. We do not average already-rounded semester or instructor GPAs. Every course distribution enters a course total once. These comparisons use courses and semesters; instructor-level results are not presented. Department means combine reported undergraduate grades rather than giving every course equal weight.

Enrollment ordering uses the total reported grade outcomes where available, not a claim about complete university enrollment. Suppressed records and missing terms can make the public grade history incomplete.

Grade comparisons show observed outcomes. They do not measure teaching quality, learning, hours of work, exam difficulty or your likely grade. Students, prerequisites, course levels and assessment methods differ across courses and semesters.

Ranking lists require at least 100 reported letter grades across at least two semesters. Highest and lowest refer only to eligible courses in this export. Ties are resolved by reported letter-grade count, then course code. Core lists use only explicit source categories; they do not certify section-level or degree eligibility. Historical flag labels do not create current planning lists.

The “weed-out” query is presented as a question about lower-GPA, lower-division courses. The data cannot establish that a course is intended to remove students from a major. Past reporting seasons are historical observations, not a future class schedule.
