How the formula works

Grade points are course units multiplied by the numerical value of the letter grade. CGPA is the sum of all grade points divided by the sum of all course units taken successfully or not, rounded to two decimals. For semester GPA, each GPA-counted course is converted to quality points by multiplying grade points by credits. The semester GPA is the total quality points divided by total GPA-counted credits, then rounded with standard rounding to 2 decimal places. The updated CGPA combines the student's existing quality points with this semester's quality points, then rounds with standard rounding to 2 decimal places.

Pass/fail and non-GPA grades are handled from the University of Ottawa config: supported pass grades are excluded from GPA points. Repeat-course handling uses this rule: The cited University of Ottawa grading regulation clearly defines GPA calculation but does not provide a general machine-calculable repeated-course replacement rule in the same source.

Worked example

Suppose a student starts with 3.00 CGPA after 30 completed credits and takes these University of Ottawa courses:

  • Course 13 credits x A+ (10.00 points)
  • Course 23 credits x B+ (7.00 points)
  • Course 33 credits x C (4.00 points)

The semester GPA is 7.00 and the updated CGPA is 3.92 using this university's rounding rules.
