How University of Manitoba GPA Is Calculated
UM divides total Quality Points by total credit hours attempted, where Quality Points = grade point × credit hours.
📝 Worked Example
Suppose a student takes 5 courses with the following grades and credit hours:
| Course | Credit Hours | Letter Grade | Grade Point | Quality Points |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Course 1 | 3 | A+ | 4.5 | 3 × 4.5 = 13.5 |
| Course 2 | 3 | A | 4.0 | 3 × 4.0 = 12.0 |
| Course 3 | 3 | B+ | 3.5 | 3 × 3.5 = 10.5 |
| Course 4 | 6 | B | 3.0 | 6 × 3.0 = 18.0 |
| Course 5 | 3 | C+ | 2.5 | 3 × 2.5 = 7.5 |
| Total | 18 | — | — | 61.5 |

University of Manitoba GPA — Frequently Asked Questions
What GPA scale does the University of Manitoba use?
UM uses a 4.5 grade-point scale. A+ = 4.5, A = 4.0, B+ = 3.5, B = 3.0, C+ = 2.5, C = 2.0, D = 1.0 (lowest passing grade), and F = 0.0.
How do I convert UM GPA to percentage?
Since UM uses a 4.5 maximum, use Percentage = (GPA ÷ 4.5) × 100. For example, a GPA of 4.0 converts to about 88.9%. This is an approximation, as UM does not publish an official percentage formula.
What are Quality Points?
Quality Points = grade point value × credit hours. For example, 3 credit hours with a grade of B (3.0) = 9.0 Quality Points. Your GPA is total Quality Points divided by total credit hours attempted.
Do Pass/Fail courses affect my GPA?
No. Courses graded on a pass/fail basis carry no numerical grade point, so they do not affect your grade point average.
How are repeated courses counted?
For the Degree GPA, the highest grade counts. However, all attempts of a repeated course are included in the Term and Cumulative GPAs.
