GPA Calculator for Canada

GPAWorld covers 10 universities in Canada. Between them they use 9 different grading scales, the most common being the 4.00 undergraduate GPA scale at 2 of them. They also round the cumulative average in 2 different ways. That is why this site keeps one grading configuration per university instead of one per country — a single "Canada GPA formula" would be wrong for most students who used it.

Common questions about GPA in Canada

Is there one GPA formula for all universities in Canada?

No. The 10 Canada universities covered here use 9 different grading scales between them, so the same grades can produce very different GPAs. Pick your university from the list on this page.

How do I calculate my CGPA at a Canada university?

Open your university's page from the list above. Enter your current CGPA and completed credit hours, then add this semester's courses with their credit hours and grades. The grade options come from that university's own table, and the result is rounded using its own rule — so the number matches how your registrar calculates it.

Do Canada universities round GPA the same way?

No — this group alone uses 2 different rounding rules for the cumulative average: rounded to 2 dp, truncated to 2 dp. Truncating instead of rounding can be the difference between sitting just above or just below a scholarship threshold, so it is worth checking your own university's rule.

Is my university missing from this Canada list?

Quite possibly — coverage is being expanded steadily, and each university is only added once its grading policy has been read from an official source and encoded. Send us the university name and a link to its published grading scale and we will add it.
