How the York University GPA formula works

York University converts every graded course into quality points by multiplying the grade's point value by the course's credit hours. Your semester GPA is the total quality points divided by the total credit hours that count toward the GPA, and the result is rounded to the nearest 2 decimal places. Points run from 0.0 up to 9.0, so a higher average is a better result. The scale uses plus and minus grades, so there are 10 distinct point values rather than a handful of whole steps: A+ is worth 9.0 and A is worth 8.0.

What gets left out of the average

NCR carry no point value at York University, so a course marked with one of them drops out of the division entirely — it changes neither the top nor the bottom of the fraction. E and F work the other way: they earn no credit but are still counted in the average at 1.0 and 0.0 points respectively, so a failed course pulls the average down while adding nothing to your progress.

How this semester rolls into your CGPA

York's official calendar states grade point values are used to compute averages and only York University courses are included in grade point averages. In practice that means your existing CGPA is turned back into quality points by multiplying it by your completed credits, this semester's quality points are added on, and the total is divided by your new credit total. Both the semester and the cumulative figures are rounded to the nearest 2 decimal places. The most recent attempt replaces the earlier one, so only the newest grade counts toward the cumulative average.

How York University compares with other Canada universities

York University is the only Canada university covered here using the 9.00 undergraduate GPA scale; the other 9 universities on this site grade on different scales entirely, so their GPA numbers are not comparable with yours. Rounding is not uniform either: York University has its cumulative average rounded to the nearest 2 decimal places, whereas McGill University and University of Calgary do it differently. Repeated courses are handled differently again at Dalhousie University, McGill University and 5 others.

A GPA only means something alongside the scale it was calculated on, which is why comparing raw numbers between institutions — even neighbouring ones — is unreliable. See the Canada comparison table for every university covered there side by side.

Converting this GPA to a 4.0 scale

York University does not grade on the US 4.0 scale. Its scale runs to 9.0 rather than 4.0, with 10 point values in use and D as the lowest passing mark. There is no single correct formula for converting that into a 4.0 GPA, and GPAWorld deliberately does not publish one: every graduate school, employer and credential evaluator applies its own conversion table, and a number invented here could cost you an application. Calculate your GPA on this page using the real York University scale, then let the institution you are applying to convert it with their table.

Worked examples

Each example below is run through the same engine the calculator uses, so the numbers show York University's own rounding.

A typical graded semester

A student sitting at 6.48 after 60 completed credits takes 3 courses worth 3 credits each.

  • Core course3 credits × A+ (9.0 points)
  • Elective3 credits × B+ (7.0 points)
  • Lab or seminar3 credits × C+ (5.0 points)

Semester GPA 7.00 · Updated CGPA 6.55

The semester total is 63 quality points over 9 counted credits. Because the cumulative average now spans 69 credits, one semester moves it only a little — this is why a CGPA gets harder to shift the further into a degree you are.

Adding a course graded NCR

The same student adds a fourth 3-credit course graded NCR (No Credit Received).

  • Core course3 credits × A+ (9.0 points)
  • Elective3 credits × B+ (7.0 points)
  • Lab or seminar3 credits × C+ (5.0 points)
  • No Credit Received course3 credits × NCR (no grade points)

Semester GPA 7.00 · Updated CGPA 6.55

The semester GPA is unchanged at 7.00. NCR carries no grade points at York University, so the course is removed from both sides of the division. Students often expect a fourth course to move the average and are surprised when it does not.

What one E costs

The same semester again, but the last course comes back as E (Marginally Failing) instead.

  • Core course3 credits × A+ (9.0 points)
  • Elective3 credits × B+ (7.0 points)
  • Failed course3 credits × E (1.0 points)

Semester GPA 5.67 · Updated CGPA 6.37

The semester GPA slips from 7.00 to 5.67, and the cumulative average slips from 6.55 to 6.37. E is worth 1.0 points and earns no credit, so it weighs the average down while adding nothing to your degree progress.

What this semester does to your CGPA

A student with a 6.48 CGPA after 60 credits takes 4 courses worth 3 credits each (12 credits in total). Here is where that CGPA lands if every course comes back at the same grade — calculated with the York University scale and rounding.

Common mistakes when calculating your York University GPA

These are the places where the York University rules differ from what most students assume, and where a hand calculation usually goes wrong.

  1. Dropping a failed course from the calculation

    E and F earn no credit toward the degree, but they are still counted in the GPA at 1.0 and 0.0 points. Leaving a failure out flatters the result.

  2. Guessing the plus/minus values

    At York University, A+ is worth 9.0 and A is worth 8.0. Those steps differ between universities, so a value copied from another school's chart will quietly skew the whole average.

  3. Averaging the grades instead of weighting them

    A course worth twice the credits moves your GPA twice as much. Adding up your grade points and dividing by the number of courses ignores that weighting and is almost always wrong.

  4. Expecting a 0-credit course to move the number

    York University allows them, but with no credit hours they contribute nothing to either side of the division.

  5. Handling a retake by guesswork

    The most recent attempt replaces the earlier one, so only the newest grade counts toward the cumulative average. Check the current catalog before assuming an old grade has left your record.

York University GPA — frequently asked questions

What is a passing grade at York University?

D (2.0 points) is the weakest grade in the York University table that still earns credit. Anything below it — E and F — is counted in your GPA but earns no credit toward the degree. Individual programmes can set a higher minimum for courses in your major, so check your programme handbook as well.

What is the best GPA you can get at York University?

9.0 on the 9.00 undergraduate GPA scale, which you reach by earning A+ (9.0 points) in every course that counts toward the GPA.

Does York University round GPA up?

The cumulative average is rounded to the nearest 2 decimal places, and the semester average is rounded to the nearest 2 decimal places. That is ordinary rounding, so a result sitting exactly half a step along goes up.

Is this a generic Canada GPA formula?

No. This page is generated from the grading configuration for York University alone — its 10 point values, its standard rounding, and its own rules for pass/fail and repeated courses. Other universities in Canada routinely use different point values or a different scale entirely, so the same grades can produce a different GPA elsewhere.

Which grades are excluded from the York University GPA?

NCR (No Credit Received) carry no grade points and are left out of the average. None of them earn credit toward the degree either.

What happens to my GPA if I repeat a course?

The most recent attempt replaces the earlier one, so only the newest grade counts toward the cumulative average.

How much does one semester change my cumulative GPA?

Your CGPA is weighted by every credit you have already completed, so a single semester moves it less the further along you are. Fifteen credits added to sixty already completed is a fifth of your record; the same fifteen added to a hundred and twenty is an eighth of it. Use the calculator at the top of this page with your real completed-credit total rather than estimating the movement.

What percentage is a A+ at York University?

A+ covers 90–100% and is worth 9.0 grade points. The full percentage-to-grade table for all 10 graded bands is published on this page.

Is this calculator official?

No. GPAWorld is an independent tool and is not affiliated with or endorsed by York University. The grading data on this page was taken from York University Academic Calendar - Grades and Grading Schemes and York University Registrar Glossary - Repeated Courses and last verified on 2026-07-20; every source is linked on this page so you can check it yourself.

Notes on this university's data

Judgement calls and caveats recorded when this grading configuration was built from the official sources. They are published so you can see exactly what the calculator assumes.

  • York University has its own official grading system and is not treated as a generic Canada formula.
  • This config follows York's official undergraduate 9-point grade scale.
  • NCR is encoded as excluded from GPA because York's repeated-course process marks attempts other than the counted attempt as NCR.
  • Pass/fail option behavior is noted in the official glossary, but the source does not expose stable grade codes for both outcomes, so generic pass/fail codes were not guessed.
  • Repeated-course handling is encoded as latest-attempt replacement based on the official Registrar repeated-course explanation.
