aspiringstudent Posted February 16, 2018 Report Share Posted February 16, 2018 In my first year I took a course that was a Pass/Fail course. For the wGPA, does this course get removed as like one of the courses for the wGPA? For example, after 3rd year you get 3FCE removed, does this count as part of the 3FCE?

So they are included in the total number of FCEs that can be eliminated? I saw that too but I just wanted to confirm it lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albert Posted March 4, 2018 Report Share Posted March 4, 2018 Hi, I also have a question about wGPA, If I have finished a 5 year undergrad, and only in years 2-5 I have a full-course load, will I still be eligible for a partial wGPA, where my lowest marks from years 2-5 are dropped? or do I need to have taken a full course load every single year in order to be eligible? in other words, is it an "all or none" process, or do they drop one lowest mark for every full-course load year? would appreciate any insight! Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks I believe you needed to take full course load every single year, but you could e-mail admissions to double check Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VladTheLad Posted March 11, 2018 Report Share Posted March 11, 2018 If you fail a pass/fail course, does the wGPA still apply? As in you take 5.0FCE during the regular academic sessions, but only earn 4.5FCE... Or must you pass all 5.0 FCE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I know it applies but they'll take out your P/F first, not your actual lowest numerical grade. Would double check w admissions though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silent_c Posted March 12, 2018 Report Share Posted March 12, 2018 I have a question regarding wGPA calculation if anyone knows. If I took 5.5 credits one year and 0.5 was pass/fail, would they still include the pass/fail grade in wGPA calculation even though it was technically an "overload"?

It definitely can impact my application as that means now only 6 courses will be taken out instead of 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume most is done automatically by some computer algorithm so I doubt individual people are looking to see if you've taken >5 FCE. Maybe some exceptional rule could apply to you! In any case I would e-mail and ask! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
