How GPA and CGPA are calculated in Canada

In Canada, GPA and CGPA are typically calculated using a credit-weighted average. That means courses or semesters with more credits have a bigger impact on your result.

GPA usually refers to a single term. CGPA combines multiple terms. To calculate CGPA, add each term’s GPA with its term credits. Then compute: Σ (term GPA × term credits) ÷ Σ (term credits).

If your university uses a 4.3 scale, make sure you enter the exact grade points shown on your transcript. If you are unsure whether your school uses 4.0 or 4.3, check your transcript legend or academic calendar.
