F.4 Grade Point Average


All grades are used in the calculation of yearly grade point averages, both for purposes of the official transcript of record and cumulative grade point averages determined by the faculties. When determining a grade point average, the average will be based on the second decimal point and will not be rounded. For example, a GPA calculated at 2.999 will be 2.99.

For promotion or graduation, refer to individual faculty sections for requirements.

To determine the grade point average, the course grade point is multiplied by the unit value of the course (e.g. 6 units) to determining the weighting. The weightings are added together then divided by the total number of units to determine the grade point average (GPA).

Example: A student who completed two, 6-unit and four, 3-unit courses with grades would have the grade point average computed as follows:

The University of Calgary, located in the heart of Southern Alberta, both acknowledges and pays tribute to the traditional territories of the peoples of Treaty 7, which include the Blackfoot Confederacy (comprised of the Siksika, the Piikani, and the Kainai First Nations), the Tsuut’ina First Nation, and the Stoney Nakoda (including Chiniki, Bearspaw, and Goodstoney First Nations). The City of Calgary is also home to the Métis Nation of Alberta (districts 5 and 6).

The University of Calgary is situated on land Northwest of where the Bow River meets the Elbow River, a site traditionally known as Moh’kins’tsis to the Blackfoot, Wîchîspa to the Stoney Nakoda, and Guts’ists’i to the Tsuut’ina. On this land and in this place we strive to learn together, walk together, and grow together “in a good way.”
