How University of Manitoba calculates GPA
University of Manitoba (Manitoba) 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 Manitoba grade scale — what makes it specific
A+ rule: Manitoba uses a 4.5-point scale in 0.5 steps with NO minus grades: A+=4.5, A=4.0, B+=3.5, B=3.0, C+=2.5, C=2.0, D=1.0, F=0. A+ is a real boost above 4.0, so a GPA can exceed 4.00.
Failing grade: University of Manitoba uses "F" for a failing grade (0.0).
Repeated courses & grade replacement
On a repeat, the highest grade counts toward the Degree GPA (DGPA), but ALL attempts are included in the Term and Cumulative GPAs. Quality points = grade points x credit hours.
Academic standing
D is the lowest passing grade. Manitoba computes several GPAs: Sessional (SGPA), Cumulative (CGPA) and Degree (DGPA). Because A+ = 4.5, compare carefully against 4.0-scale schools.
Good to know
Manitoba's scale tops out at 4.5, not 4.0 — A+ = 4.5 is a genuine boost above an A (4.0). It moves in 0.5 steps and has no minus grades at all: an 80-86% A- elsewhere simply maps to Manitoba's A (4.0). State the scale on applications (e.g. '4.2 / 4.5') so a US 4.0-max reader doesn't misread it. Note the University of Winnipeg uses a different 4.5 scale (with A- = 4.0 and A = 4.25), so the two are not interchangeable.
