The total GPA includes all of those things. Only undergraduate students who are pursuing multiple degrees will have a total GPA.

Total GPA

Your Total GPA takes into account all of your graded coursework from UW and transfer credits. It also includes any AP, IB, or college-level courses you took in high school.

Unlike your Academic GPA, Total GPA is cumulative; it contains all the courses you have taken since entering UW. For this reason, some graduate schools will ask for your Total GPA on your application.

The total GPA is your overall cumulative GPA. It includes your academic and transfer coursework, along with approved AnotherUW or high school coursework. Most transfer students have a total GPA, but not an academic GPA.

Your academic GPA only includes coursework taken at the UW after you were admitted to the UW from another institution. You must be enrolled at the UW to have an academic GPA; if you’re not currently enrolled, the field will appear empty until you enroll again.

understanding the difference between academic and total gpa

In order to graduate from the University of Washington, you must have a minimum 2.0 cumulative grade point average (GPA) in courses taken through the University of Washington, and a minimum 2.0 cumulative grade point average in all college level courses (including transfer work). You can find both at the bottom of your unofficial transcript on MyUW.

It’s important to understand the difference between Academic and Cumulative GPA:

Academic GPA = UW credits only

Cumulative GPA = all college-level coursework across UW, transfer credit and any other colleges/universities attended
