Algoma Converter
Enter a percentage between 0 and 100.
Note: Algoma University transcripts report percentage grades; the 4.0-scale values come from the OUAC Undergraduate Grade Conversion Table. There is no single official 4.0-to-percentage formula — when an institution requests an approximate percentage from a 4.0 GPA, Percentage ≈ GPA × 25 is a common approximation.

Algoma University GPA — Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Algoma University grading scale?
Algoma grades on a percentage basis with letter grades, and the OUAC publishes an equivalent 4.0 scale:
A 90–100 = 4.0 · 85–89 = 3.9 · 80–84 = 3.7 | B 77–79 = 3.3 · 73–76 = 3.0 · 70–72 = 2.7 | C 67–69 = 2.3 · 63–66 = 2.0 · 60–62 = 1.7 | D 57–59 = 1.3 · 53–56 = 1.0 · 50–52 = 0.7 | F 0–49 = 0.
The minimum passing grade for most undergraduate courses is 50%.
How is an Algoma percentage converted to a 4.0 GPA?
Each course percentage is mapped to its 4.0-scale grade point using the OUAC table, then weighted by credits: GPA = Σ(Grade Point × Credits) ÷ Σ(Credits).
Examples: 92% → 4.0 | 81% → 3.7 | 74% → 3.0 | 61% → 1.7 | 51% → 0.7.
What is the passing grade at Algoma University?
For most undergraduate courses the minimum passing grade is 50% (letter grade D, 4.0-scale value 0.7).
Some programmes and graduate certificates require a higher minimum — for example, 60% in required courses and a 60% overall average. Always check your specific programme requirements.
How do I convert a 4.0 GPA back to a percentage?
Because Algoma's primary scale is percentage, there is no single official 4.0-to-percentage formula. As a common 4.0-scale approximation, Percentage ≈ GPA × 25, equivalent to (GPA ÷ 4.0) × 100.
For example, a 4.0-scale GPA of 3.0 ≈ 75%. Use this only when an external institution asks for an approximate percentage equivalent.
Does this calculator work for Algoma graduate programmes?
This calculator uses Algoma's undergraduate percentage scale and the OUAC 4.0 equivalent. The formula Σ(GP × Credits) ÷ Σ(Credits) is the same at the graduate level.
However, graduate and certificate programmes often require higher minimum grades (e.g. 60% or B). Verify with your specific programme's grading policy in the Academic Calendar.
Where is Algoma University located?
Algoma University's main campus is in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, with additional campuses in Brampton and Timmins. It became Ontario's 19th university in 2008.
