GPA calculators for Canadian universities

It depends on the school. Of our 16 calculators, UBC and Waterloo use percentages; U of T, McGill, Alberta and Mount Royal use a 4.0 scale; Queen’s and Dalhousie 4.3; SFU and TMU 4.33; York and UVic a 9-point scale; uOttawa a 10-point scale; and McMaster, Carleton and Laurier a 12-point scale.

Multiply each course’s grade points by its credits, add those up, and divide by your total credits. Your school sets the grade points for each grade, and some round differently: McGill truncates to two decimals, while TMU rounds.

Use your school’s grade table. Each percentage range maps to a letter grade and its grade points, and the tables differ: an 85% is an A worth 4.00 at TMU and an A worth 11 at Carleton.

It depends on your school and what you’re applying to next. As floors, McGill needs a cumulative GPA of 2.00 to graduate, and TMU needs a CGPA of 1.67 for Clear standing.

Not everywhere. At McGill every attempt stays in your cumulative GPA, while several other Canadian universities count only the most recent attempt. Each calculator’s page explains its school’s rule.

No. Your official GPA is on your school’s record, like Minerva at McGill or MyServiceHub at TMU. The calculators help you estimate a term before grades are posted, or test what a term would do to your average.
