Grades

Grades are used to determine your status in your degree program, to allocate awards and other honours and will be considered by graduate schools, prospective employers and others.

Grade point average (GPA)

Letter grades have a numerical value, called a grade point value, which is used to calculate your grade point average (GPA). Your GPA is used to determine which programs you can apply for, and if you can graduate.

Calculate your GPA

Grade changes

If you're facing exceptional, unforeseen circumstances that seriously impact your academic performance, you may be eligible to request a credit (CR) or no credit (NCR) grade instead of a letter grade.
