The Math

How UofT GPA Is Calculated

UofT uses the standard weighted-average formula based on grade points and credit weights.

UofT GPA Formula

\[ \text{GPA} = \frac{\displaystyle\sum (\text{Grade Point} \times \text{Credits})}{\displaystyle\sum \text{Credits}} \]

Grade PointNumerical value of the letter grade (0.0–4.0)

CreditsCredit weight assigned to each course

📝 Worked Example

Suppose a student takes 6 courses with the following grades and credits:

Course	Credits	Letter Grade	Grade Point	Credit Points
Course 1	4	A+	4.0	4 × 4.0 = 16.0
Course 2	8	A−	3.7	8 × 3.7 = 29.6
Course 3	6	C	2.0	6 × 2.0 = 12.0
Course 4	5	C+	2.3	5 × 2.3 = 11.5
Course 5	8	B−	2.7	8 × 2.7 = 21.6
Course 6	7	C+	2.3	7 × 2.3 = 16.1
Total	38	—	—	106.8

Plugging into the formula:

\[ \text{GPA} = \frac{106.8}{38} \approx \mathbf{2.81} \]

The Conversion Formula

UofT uses a 4.0 scale, so:

\[ \text{Percentage} = \text{GPA} \times 25 \quad \text{or equivalently} \quad \text{Percentage} = \left(\frac{\text{GPA}}{4.0}\right) \times 100 \]

Example: If your GPA is 2.9, then Percentage = 2.9 × 25 = 72.50%.
