How is the transfer GPA calculated?

<p>I´m currently at ACC and have a 3.54.
One of the classes I took last spring, in which I got an A, doesn´t transfer.
Does that mean that UT will not count that grade and therefore my cumulative GPA is lower?</p>

<p>I want to apply to Liberal Arts.</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>The transfer student information web page information on transferrable courses
Transferable</a> Courses | Be a Longhorn
has a link to transfer credit policies catalog page that says you will be evaluated based on your GPA in your transferrable classes.
Admission</a>, page 2 | University of Texas at Austin

Grade point average computation. A transfer applicant's grade point average on transferable college coursework is a significant indicator of the applicant's academic strength. Because the Office of Admissions considers academic background as a factor when making transfer decisions, the grade point average can play an important role in an applicant's final admission decision.

<p>Wow, can´t believe I missed that..
Thanks MidwestMom2Kids</p>

<p>¨The admission grade point average is computed on all transferable college coursework the student has undertaken, whether passed, failed, or repeated...¨</p>

<p>So yes, the A will not count. That leaves me with a 3.5</p>

<p>Do I have a chance for Liberal Arts?</p>

<p>For the spring, I will be taking 2-3 classes at ACC.
If I get all As I will end up with a 3.58-3.61</p>

<p>Thanks again..</p>

<p>On the bright side, a 3.6ish GPA in liberal arts should get you in. That one class may not figure in for your GPA but you are in good enough shape you don't need it.</p>

<p>Fiyero, thanks for the reply. Hopefully I get in!</p>

<p>I transfered to UT last fall with a 3.4 and got accepted to the school of natural science. So with a 3.5 you should be good, as long as you have good essays and a good letter of recommendation.</p>

<p>UThopeful, were you in CAP?</p>

<p>No,</p>

<p>I went to university of houston, and took some classes at local cc and had ap credit.</p>
