Western
average & GPA calculator
Quick answer: Western University uses a percentage average (0–100). Western does not compute a 4.0 GPA — your transcript shows a weighted percentage and a letter grade per course. Your average is credit-weighted: each course's percentage is multiplied by its credit weight, summed, and divided by total credits — so full-credit and higher-weight courses count more than half-credit electives.

Grade scale
The letter/descriptor bands are: A+ (90–100), A (80–89), B (70–79), C (60–69), D (50–59) and F (below 50). The passing grade is 50%.

| 80–89 | A | Excellent |
| 70–79 | B | Good |
| 60–69 | C | Competent |
| 50–59 | D | Marginal pass |
| below 50 | F | Fail |

Converting for applications abroad
Applying outside Canada? The 4.0 / 4.3 figures above are unofficial estimates. For US, UK, Australian or German equivalents use the grade conversion matrix, or the percentage to GPA tool; for Ontario medical, law or graduate applications use the OMSAS GPA calculator. Only a credential evaluation (WES, ICES, ECE) is authoritative.
