All About Your Academic Record
The academic record for a University of Virginia student is the official transcript, which includes a complete historical listing of all coursework, associated grades and other academic record-related information.
The academic record is frozen once a student separates him/herself from the University.
Academic Name
The academic record (transcript) for a University of Virginia student is a complete historical listing of all coursework, associated grades and other academic record-related information. The academic record is in essence frozen once a student separates him/herself from the University. The name that appears on the transcript will be the name reflected in the student information system for the last term in which the student was enrolled.
Should the student re-enroll at the University the name on the student’s transcript will reflect the name for the last term of enrollment at the University.
If a previously enrolled student becomes an employee and subsequently enrolls at the University, their official academic record name will become the name under which they were most recently admitted. This most recent name will be the only name displayed on the academic record/transcript. Previously enrolled students who become employees under another/new/changed name will never see their ‘employment name’ as their official academic record name on their transcript until such time as he/she enrolls for courses.
Bottom line: The name that will be printed/displayed on the official academic record is the name under which the student was enrolled during their last active term at the University. UREG will NOT change names for students unless they are currently enrolled.

Grade Point Average
Grade point averages are computed and printed on the official transcript for undergraduate students only.
The University does not maintain major grade point averages (GPAs). To calculate the major GPA, multiply the number of credits for each included class by the grade point equivalent listed below and then divide the total grade points by the total credits (counting only the credits of courses taken for a letter grade).

Dean's List: Full-time undergraduate students in
the School of Architecture and Frank Batten School of Leadership & Public Policy (require a 3.7 or above GPA), College of Arts and Sciences (3.500 or higher), Curry School of Education, School of Engineering and Applied Science, or School of Nursing who demonstrate academic
excellence by earning a grade point average of 3.400 or higher, while
taking a minimum of 12 credits of graded course work (15 credits for
the School of Architecture, Frank Batten School of Leadership & Public Policy, College of Arts and Sciences, and School of Engineering and Applied Science), are eligible for the Dean's List of Distinguished Students
at the end of each semester. Students in the McIntire School of Commerce are recognized who pass at least 15 credits of graded work in the preceding semester with a GPA of 3.75 or above will be placed on the Dean’s List of Distinguished Students. Courses taken on a CR/NC basis may not be counted toward the 15-credit minimum. Any student receiving an F, NC, or NG during the semester is not eligible to be on the Dean’s List.
Intermediate Honors: A
certificate of Intermediate Honors is awarded to the top twenty percent
of those students in each of the participating
undergraduate schools (School of Architecture, College or Arts and Sciences, School of Engineering and Applied Science, and
School of Nursing) who enter the University directly from high school or
preparatory school and earn at least 60 credits of course work
in their first four regular semester. The computation is based
upon the cumulative grade point average at the end of the fourth
semester. No more than twelve of the 60 required credits may be
earned on a CR/NC or S/U basis. Advanced placement and transfer
credits do not count toward the required credits. Below is
a listing of the minimum required cumulative GPA (as of the end of
the spring of the second year) and number of Intermediate Honors awarded:
