How UCalgary GPA Is Calculated
UCalgary uses a weighted-average formula based on grade points and course units (half-courses = 3 units, full-courses = 6 units).
📝 Worked Example
Suppose a student takes 5 half-courses (3 units each) and 1 full-course (6 units):
| Course | Units | Letter Grade | Grade Point | Grade × Units |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| MATH 249 | 3 | A | 4.00 | 3 × 4.00 = 12.00 |
| CPSC 217 | 3 | A− | 3.70 | 3 × 3.70 = 11.10 |
| ENGL 201 | 3 | B+ | 3.30 | 3 × 3.30 = 9.90 |
| PHYS 211 | 3 | B | 3.00 | 3 × 3.00 = 9.00 |
| CHEM 209 | 3 | C+ | 2.30 | 3 × 2.30 = 6.90 |
| ECON 357 | 6 | B− | 2.70 | 6 × 2.70 = 16.20 |
