Trent University Average — Frequently Asked Questions
What grading system does Trent University use?
Trent uses a percentage-based system. Letter grades map to percentage bands (A+ = 90–100%, A = 85–89%, and so on), and your standing is based on a cumulative percentage average rather than a 4.0 GPA.
How is the Trent cumulative average calculated?
It is a credit-weighted average of your course percentages: Average = Σ(Course % × Credit Value) ÷ Σ(Credit Value). Full courses count as 1.0 credit, half courses as 0.5.

Not officially. Trent records a percentage average on transcripts. A 4.0-scale GPA is only an approximate equivalent derived from the OUAC Grade Conversion Table, often needed for graduate or external applications.
What average do I need for good academic standing?
A 60% cumulative average on at least 3.0 credits taken at Trent is required for good standing. The minimum passing grade in a course is 50% (D−).
