\n Calculate my CGPA\n <\/h1>\n \n \n \n\n

The sum of grade points earned in each course is divided by
the total credit value of courses, to generate your
cumulative grade point average (CGPA).
To calculate your CGPA review the chart below and follow the steps:<\/p>\n\n\n <\/header>\n\n <\/div>\n\n

Try figuring out your CGPA on your own:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  • STEP 1: List all of the courses you\u2019ve attempted, the corresponding credit values, and your final grades<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • STEP 2: Record the grade points earned for each course (use Carleton\u2019s grade point scale, pictured above) and add them up.\u00a0
    Remember\u00a00.50 credit courses are worth half of the point value (i.e. B+ are 9.00 points for a 1.00 credit, but 4.50 points for 0.50 credit course).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • STEP 3: Add up the number of credits that you\u2019ve taken<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • STEP 4: Divide the total number of grade points by the total number of credits<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    For example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Course<\/th>Final Grade<\/th>Credit value<\/th>Corresponding grade points<\/th><\/tr><\/thead>
    <\/th><\/th><\/th><\/th><\/tr>

    LAWS1000<\/td>A-<\/td>1.00<\/td>10.00<\/td><\/tr>
    SOCI1000<\/td>C+<\/td>1.00<\/td>6.00<\/td><\/tr>

    (C+ average)<\/td><\/tr>
    <\/td><\/td><\/td><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table>
    *In the example above, the Overall CGPA is 6.75 which is equivalent to a C+ average.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    • CGPAs are calculated for any program element (including Major(s), Minor(s), Concentration, and Specialization) in the same way, using only the courses in the program element.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • F grades are included in the CGPA calculation(s) as 0.00 grade points, until they are removed through course repetition or replacement. When a course is repeated, the best grade is used.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • All credits earned through the University of Ottawa Exchange agreement are included in the CGPA calculations, but courses completed at any other university (through Letter of Permission or Exchange) are not.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Courses listed as Extra to the Degree (ETD), No Credit for the Degree (NCD), Forfeit, and Transfer credits (TR) are not included in the calculation of your CGPAs.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • The CGPA is truncated to two decimal places (with no rounding).
