How Simon Fraser University calculates GPA
Simon Fraser University (British Columbia) 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 SFU grade scale — what makes it specific
A+ rule: SFU uses a 4.33 scale where A+ is a REAL boost above 4.0: A+=4.33, A=4.00, A-=3.67, B+=3.33, B=3.00, B-=2.67, C+=2.33, C=2.00, C-=1.67, D=1.00, F=0. (Single D; no D+/D-.)
Failing grade: Simon Fraser University uses "F" for a failing grade (0.0).
Repeated courses & grade replacement
Credit is earned at D or above. On a graduate retake the better grade is used; undergraduate repeat handling is set by policy (see Repeated SFU Courses). FD (failed, academic discipline) = 0 and converts to F two years after graduation.
Academic standing
Good standing needs CGPA >= 2.00 (evaluated after 9 units). Term GPA below 2.00 while on probation can lead to Required to Withdraw. Honour Roll needs a 4.00 term GPA on 12+ units.
Good to know
SFU uses a 4.33 scale (like UBC) where A+ genuinely exceeds 4.0, so a CGPA can rise above 4.00. Its official numerical equivalents use the precise thirds — A-=3.67, B+=3.33, B-=2.67, C-=1.67 — rather than the rounded 3.7/3.3 some BC tables show, and it has a single D (no D+/D-). State the scale on applications (e.g. '3.9 / 4.33') so a US 4.0-max reader doesn't misread it.
