If you are a Tennessee Education Lottery Scholarship recipient, the grade point average calculator below may assist you in determining your eligibility to continue to receive the scholarship.
This GPA calculator is provided for recipients of TELS only as a guide in determining continuing scholarship eligibility. It is important to remember that the GPA to determine TELS eligibility is calculated differently from UT's GPA. Details can be found on the pages linked here.
How to use the TELS calculator
To use the GPA calculator, follow the steps listed below to determine the GPA you need to earn during your next semester of enrollment.
STEP 1 - Obtain a copy of your Academic History Report (AHR) by printing it at the Office of the University Registrar (209 Student Services Building) or at your college advising office.
STEP 2 - Look on your Academic History Report and find the grade summary statement.

- Your current TELS cumulative GPA (listed under "GPA"), and
- The TELS cumulative GPA you need to achieve in order to retain your scholarship (2.75 or 3.00). Note - The "TELS Total" is used to determine the point at which your GPA will be reviewed for progress (24, 48, 72, 96, and 120 hours).
