Yeah mine just showed up as well. I got my worst year dropped despite still being in my 4th year of study, so it looks like they are still using the same wGPA system as last year and all of the speculations about changes and needing 4 full-years to get the wGPA were unfounded after all.

Anyone know if they included graduate GPA this year?

Couldn't find where they said anything about graduate GPA. Any extra points given to candidates with research-based Master's? 

According to the admissions website, it says that masters and PhD get extra points on their evaluation. Not necessarily additional GPA points. 
 

The registrar’s calculation is a little different than mine. Does anyone have info on how UofA convert grades from different universities?

Thanks. Just found this on the website: 

"All coursework completed as part of a thesis-based graduate program to which a grade and course weighting was assigned will be included in the calculation of cGPA"

This is what I was actually referring to:

 

"Graduate Students: 

All applicants are subject to the same application requirements.

Applicants who have obtained a Masters or PhD are eligible to receive additional points towards their rank score. For those nearing completion of their program who wish to have these points added to their score, please have your supervisor provide a letter as proof of successful completion once you have defended your thesis with no required revisions.

For those completing a Masters by coursework we will require a letter from your faculty indicating that you have completed the required coursework and have applied for and been approved to graduate."
