Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA)

Your Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) is calculated based on the grade points you earned and the credit values of the completed courses. It determines a student’s current standing both Overall (this includes all courses counting towards the degree) and in the Major(s) (this includes only courses required for the Major) as well as minors, concentrations and specializations.

Based on that average, your CGPA will help you – and the university – evaluate your overall progress in satisfying the requirements of your program (see Academic Continuation Evaluation and Academic Standing). Ultimately, the CGPA is used as an assessment tool for the Academic Continuation Evaluation carried out each term, and, most importantly, your eligibility and class of honours for graduation.
