plastic Posted July 6, 2011 Report Share Posted July 6, 2011 Hi guys, Does U of C individually convert each grade to their 4.0 scale and then take the average of all or your grades? or Do they convert your GPA from each "YEAR" of school to their 4.0 scale and then take the average of all of your years? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pubert Posted July 6, 2011 Report Share Posted July 6, 2011 Each course is converted to the 4 point scale individually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plastic Posted July 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2011 Each course is converted to the 4 point scale individually. Please don't post if you don't actually know the answer. Dr. Walker just answered my question on his blog, in which he responded “each full-time undergrad year is counted as a year, regardless of how many courses were taken.” Plastic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pubert Posted July 7, 2011 Report Share Posted July 7, 2011 You asked if grades are converted individually or as an average. They are converted to the 4 point scale individually, not as an average. Not sure how this does not answer your question...? Dr. Walker is telling you how each academic year is treated in relation to another year, which was not your question.

I find that mildly funny. Pubert is right. Calgary converts each grade to a 4.0 scale. However, the percentage equivalent of a 4.0 varies depending on the GPA system used by your university. This way you get a GPA of each year (could be different from your university GPA), and then they average the years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osteon Posted July 10, 2011 Report Share Posted July 10, 2011 It is as follows: A+ = 4.0 A = 4.0 A - = 3.7 B+ = 3.3 B = 3.0 B - = 2.7 C+ = 2.3 C = 2.0 C - = 1.7 D+ = 1.3 D = 1.0 D - = 0.7 F = 0.0 If your undergrad university uses percent grades instead of letters (or even if they use both I think), they use the percents instead and have a different GPA conversion for that.

This is what I don't get. My university gives my marks in both percentage and letter grades but my gpa is completely different depending on whether I use U of C's % to GPA calculation or letter grade to GPA calculation. If I use the latter, it's much higher =S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedoc Posted July 10, 2011 Report Share Posted July 10, 2011 When they are calculating the GPA, do they use your whole academic carreer (ex. college transfer credits + university credits) or just university credits? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
