What academic warning means
Getting in 22.2% admitted Look up a class or your GPA 3 tools Professor evaluations UT’s public results Sources UT grade reports We averaged every A to F grade UT reported for undergraduate classes from fall 2023 to summer 2026, using UT’s grade points (A is 4.0, A- is 3.67). This is a course-grade average. It excludes pass/fail grades and drops. A department is ranked once its classes gave at least 2,000 grades.
