About

Ryerson / TMU & the 4.33 Grading System

Toronto Metropolitan University (TMU) — a public research university in downtown Toronto, Ontario, known as Ryerson University until April 2022 — uses an official 4.33 grading scale. Unlike most 4.0-scale systems, an A+ is worth 4.33 grade points (above the A at 4.00). Academic performance is tracked by the Term GPA (TGPA) for one term and the Cumulative GPA (CGPA) across the whole program, governed by Senate Policy 170(a).

Tool 1

Ryerson / TMU GPA & CGPA Calculator

Add each course with its TMU letter grade and course weight. Works for both term GPA (TGPA) and cumulative GPA (CGPA) on the official 4.33 scale.

Add Your Courses

Uses TMU's 4.33 scale: A+, A, A−, B+, B, B−, C+, C, C−, D+, D, D−, F. Single-term courses = weight 1.00; multi-term = 2.00.

How to use the CGPA Calculator

  1. Enter your semester name or number (e.g. Semester 1, 1st, First).
  2. Enter the SGPA for that semester.
  3. Enter the total credits earned in that semester.
  4. Click “Add Semester”, then repeat for every completed semester.
  5. Click “Calculate CGPA” to see your cumulative result.

Although CGPA is normally awarded at the end of the programme, you can use this tool any time to see your current or running CGPA based on the semesters you've completed so far.

The Math

Ryerson / TMU GPA Formula

Per the official TMU Undergraduate Academic Calendar — Grading, Promotion and Academic Standing.

TMU GPA / CGPA
\[ \text{GPA} = \frac{\displaystyle\sum (\text{Course Weight} \times \text{Grade Points})}{\displaystyle\sum \text{Course Weight}} \]
Grade PointsValue 0–4.33 for each letter grade
Course Weight1.00 for single-term, 2.00 for multi-term courses

📝 Worked Example

A TMU student completes four single-term courses and one full-year (multi-term) course:

CourseGradeGrade PointsWeightWeight × GP
ITM 100A4.001.001.00 × 4.00 = 4.00
QMS 102B+3.331.001.00 × 3.33 = 3.33
LAW 122B−2.671.001.00 × 2.67 = 2.67
CMN 279A−3.671.001.00 × 3.67 = 3.67
CPS 109 (full-year)B3.002.002.00 × 3.00 = 6.00
Total6.0019.67

Plugging into the formula (rounded to two decimal places):

\[ \text{CGPA} = \frac{19.67}{6.00} \approx \mathbf{3.28} \]

A CGPA of 3.28 sits in the B range — comfortably above the 1.67 threshold required for a Clear academic standing at TMU.

Tool 2

TMU Percentage to Grade & GPA

TMU publishes exact percentage bands for each letter grade. Enter a course percentage to find its letter grade and grade point.

TMU Percentage Converter

Enter any percentage between 0 and 100.

Note: TMU transcripts report letter grades and grade points on the 4.33 scale, not a cumulative percentage. This tool maps a single course percentage to its official band; it is not an overall GPA-to-percentage conversion. Some courses use relative grading, so the exact percentage cut-offs can vary by instructor.

🎓 TMU Academic Standing & Honours Thresholds

Key CGPA and term-GPA (TGPA) benchmarks per Senate Policy 170(a)

GPAThreshold
≥ 3.67Dean's List — Faculty of Arts (TGPA, full-time, 4 passed courses)
≥ 3.50Dean's List — Ted Rogers School (Fall–Winter year GPA)
≥ 1.67Clear standing — continue studies without restriction
1.00 – 1.66Probationary — Probationary Contract & reduced course load
< 1.00Required to Withdraw (RTW) — suspended for at least 12 months

Note: A TGPA below 1.67 while already on Probation can also trigger RTW, even when CGPA is above 1.00. No student is assigned RTW in their first semester at TMU. Dean's List criteria vary by faculty — always verify with your program or the Office of the Registrar.

Got Questions?

Ryerson / TMU GPA — Frequently Asked Questions

What grading scale does Ryerson University (TMU) use?

TMU uses an official 4.33 grading scale. Each letter grade maps to a percentage band and a grade point:

A+ = 4.33 (90–100%) · A = 4.00 (85–89%) · A− = 3.67 (80–84%) · B+ = 3.33 (77–79%) · B = 3.00 (73–76%) · B− = 2.67 (70–72%) · C+ = 2.33 (67–69%) · C = 2.00 (63–66%) · C− = 1.67 (60–62%) · D+ = 1.33 (57–59%) · D = 1.00 (53–56%) · D− = 0.67 (50–52%) · F = 0.00 (0–49%).

An A+ (4.33) is worth more than an A (4.00) — the key feature of the scale. The minimum passing grade is D−.

How does TMU calculate term GPA and CGPA?

Each grade point is multiplied by the course weight to give a weighted grade point. CGPA = Σ(Course Weight × Grade Points) ÷ Σ(Course Weights), rounded to two decimal places.

Single-term courses normally carry a weight of 1.00 and multi-term (full-year) courses a weight of 2.00. The TGPA uses only courses from one term; the CGPA uses all program courses. Designations such as CNC, PSD, INC, INP, FLD and DEF are excluded.

Is Ryerson University the same as Toronto Metropolitan University?

Yes. Ryerson University officially became Toronto Metropolitan University (TMU) in April 2022.

The 4.33 GPA scale and academic policies under Senate Policy 170(a) are unchanged, and degrees, transcripts and credentials issued under the Ryerson name remain fully valid and recognised.

What CGPA do I need for good academic standing?

A CGPA of 1.67 or higher earns a Clear standing and lets you continue without restriction. A CGPA from 1.00 to 1.66 results in Probationary standing, requiring a signed Probationary Contract and a reduced course load.

A CGPA below 1.00 — or a TGPA below 1.67 while on probation — results in Required to Withdraw (RTW), a suspension of at least 12 months. No student is assigned RTW in their first semester.

What is the Dean's List GPA at TMU?

Criteria vary by faculty. In the Ted Rogers School of Management, a GPA of 3.50 or higher across the Fall–Winter year (clear standing, no failed courses, averaging at least 4.0 billing units per term) qualifies.

In the Faculty of Arts, full-time students need a TGPA of 3.67 or higher with at least four passed courses and a clear academic record. Always confirm the exact criteria with your specific faculty.

Can I repeat a course to improve my GPA?

Yes. A course may be attempted up to three times (initial enrolment plus two repeats). When you repeat a course, the most recent grade replaces the previous one in GPA calculations — even if it is lower — though both attempts stay on the transcript.

A GPA Adjustment Request can also be submitted to exclude or replace certain courses in your CGPA, subject to program approval.
