How University of Calgary calculates GPA
University of Calgary (Alberta) calculates GPA as a credit-weighted average: multiply each course's grade points by its credits, add them up, and divide by total credits. The detail that matters is the grade scale.
The Calgary grade scale — what makes it specific
A+ rule: Calgary uses a 4.0 letter scale: A+ and A are BOTH 4.00 (A+ capped), A-=3.7, B+=3.3, down to D+=1.3, D=1.0, F=0. Notably there is NO D- grade.
Failing grade: University of Calgary uses "F" for a failing grade (0.0).
Repeated courses & grade replacement
The number of D/D+ grades acceptable for credit is set by each undergraduate faculty's promotion policy. The Faculty of Law uses a 'D' that is not included in the GPA.
Academic standing
A grade of C- or below may not satisfy promotion or graduation requirements (faculty-specific).
Good to know
Calgary's official undergraduate scale caps A+ at 4.00 (same as A) and, unusually, has no D- grade — it runs A+, A, A-, B+, B, B-, C+, C, C-, D+, D, F. Like Alberta, it is a 4.0 scale, not the 4.33 some aggregators report. Some faculties also use an F or D that is excluded from the GPA.
