Let's face it, folks. UT Austin is a phenomenal school, but let's be honest, checking your GPA can feel like facing a breakfast taco hangover (and those are epic). But fear not, my fellow Longhorns! This guide will have you navigating those grades like a pro... well, at least understanding how to find them.

Unveiling the Mystery: Where Does My GPA Hide?
UT Austin keeps your GPA tucked away like a secret family recipe (hopefully for good grades, unlike Aunt Mildred's "special" casserole). But worry not, there are two main ways to access this academic treasure:
- The Texas One Stop: This is your online portal to all things academic, including your grades. Log in with your EID (electronic ID) and head to the Student Records section. There, you'll find two GPA-revealing options:
- Grade Reports: These semesterly reports from the registrar show your letter grades and, like magic, your GPA! They'll have an "unofficial copy" watermark, but hey, it'll give you a good idea.
- Academic Summary: This is your one-stop shop for all things academic, including your unofficial GPA.
Remember: These are unofficial GPAs. If you need an official transcript for scholarships or grad schools, you'll need to order one from the registrar's office (warning: may involve actual tears...of joy, hopefully).

So, you've found your GPA, but what does that number even mean? Here's a quick rundown:
Tip: Every word counts — don’t skip too much.
- Cumulative GPA: This is the big kahuna, encompassing all your UT Austin grades ever.
- Semester GPA: This is just for one semester, like a progress report before the final report card (your cumulative GPA).
- 4.0 Scale: This is the holy grail, the ultimate GPA score. But hey, even Beyonce makes mistakes (allegedly).
Important Note: Law students and Dell Medical School students, you have your own GPA calculation methods. So, this guide might not be your best wingman...sorry!
You've Got This, Longhorn!
Checking your GPA might not be a party, but at least you know how to do it now. Remember, grades are just one part of the UT Austin experience. So go forth, conquer your classes, and maybe treat yourself to a breakfast taco (minus the hangover).
