The Math

How TRU GPA Is Calculated

TRU uses the standard weighted-average formula based on grade points and course credits.

TRU GPA Formula
\[ \text{GPA} = \frac{\displaystyle\sum (\text{Grade Point} \times \text{Credits})}{\displaystyle\sum \text{Credits}} \]
Grade PointNumerical value of the letter grade (0.00–4.33)
CreditsCredit value assigned to each course

📝 Worked Example

Suppose a student takes 5 courses with the following grades and credits:

CourseCreditsLetter GradeGrade PointCredit Points
Course 13A+4.333 × 4.33 = 12.99
Course 23A−3.673 × 3.67 = 11.01
Course 33B3.003 × 3.00 = 9.00
Course 43C+2.333 × 2.33 = 6.99
Course 53B+3.333 × 3.33 = 9.99
Total1549.98

Plugging into the formula:

\[ \text{GPA} = \frac{49.98}{15} \approx \mathbf{3.33} \]

TRU GPA — Frequently Asked Questions

What GPA scale does Thompson Rivers University use?

TRU uses a 4.33 grade-point scale. A+ = 4.33, A = 4.00, A− = 3.67, B+ = 3.33, all the way down to F = 0.00.

Undergraduate: Grades run from A+ down to F (0–49%), with D (50–54%) being the minimal pass.

Graduate: The threshold is higher — anything below 70% (B−) is recorded as F, and a B− or lower in two or more courses requires withdrawal.

What does a "DNC" grade mean at TRU?

DNC means "Did Not Complete" — assigned when less than 50% of coursework is finished without a formal withdrawal. It carries a grade point of 0.00 and affects your GPA the same as an F.
