Formula for how UF calculates GPA

[Anastasia614]

I know that they only calculate GPA for academic classes but how do they get the final GPA. Do I have I just have to add all academic courses(4, 3.5, etc) from freshman year to junior and divide by years or semesters or something.

UF uses the SSAR, which is setup to take the final semester grade. How your school reports grades could impact how the grades are inputted.

How do I enter my grades on the SSAR?

The SSAR format collects grades on a semester basis. Please refer to the following examples to guide your grade submission:

1. If your school only assigns semester grades, you will enter your semester grades as shown on your high school transcript into the appropriate places in the SSAR.
2. If your school only assigns a final grade for each class taken, you will enter the final grade twice (first semester and second semester) for year-long classes (one credit), and once (either first semester or second semester) for semester-long classes (1/2 credit). For example, if you earned a grade of B in Algebra I which is a year-long class (1 credit), you will enter that grade twice (first semester and second semester). If you took Trigonometry which is a semester-long class (1/2 credit), you will enter that grade only once in whichever semester you took the class.
3. If your school assigns both semester grades and a final grade, only use the final grade when entering your grades in the SSAR. For example, if you took Algebra I and earned an A in the first semester and a B in the second semester and your final grade is B, you will enter a grade of B twice (first semester and second semester) in the SSAR.
4. If your school assigns trimester grades and a final grade, only use the final grade, the same principle as in #3. If the class is a year-long class you will use the final grade and enter it twice in the SSAR. If the class is only for one trimester, enter the final grade on either the first or second semester field.

How do you find out what the recalculated weighted GPA is on the SSAR? I input all the info on the transcripts, but can’t see that it calculated anything.
