Letter Grades<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Carleton University employs the twelve-point system of letter grades to represent standing in graduate lecture courses, directed studies, seminars, tutorials, and some research essays. The letter grades used and the grade point equivalents are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grade Point<\/th>Letter Grade<\/th>Percentage<\/th>Grade Point<\/th>Letter Grade<\/th>Percentage<\/th><\/tr><\/thead>
12<\/td>A+<\/td>90-100%<\/td> 6<\/td> C+<\/td>67-69%<\/td><\/tr>
11<\/td>A<\/td>85-89%<\/td>5<\/td>C<\/td>63-66%<\/td><\/tr>

Calculate your GPA<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  • STEP 1:  List all of the courses you\u2019ve attempted, the corresponding credit values (0.5 credit or 1.0 credit), and your final grades<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • STEP 2:  Record the grade points earned for each course and add them up. Remember<\/strong> 0.5 credit courses are worth half of the point value (i.e. B+ are 9.00 points for a
    1.0 credit, but 4.50 points for 0.5 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

    Example:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    Course<\/th>Final Grade<\/th>Credit Value<\/th>Corresponding Grade Point<\/th><\/tr><\/thead>
    INAF 5200<\/td>B+<\/td>0.5<\/td>4.5<\/td><\/tr>
