How University of British Columbia calculates GPA
University of British Columbia (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 UBC grade scale — what makes it specific
A+ rule: UBC uses a 4.33 scale: A+ = 4.33 (a real boost ABOVE 4.0), A = 4.0, A- = 3.7, etc.
Failing grade: University of British Columbia uses "F" for a failing grade (0.0).
Repeated courses & grade replacement
Repeated-course and academic-standing rules are set by each UBC faculty; confirm with your faculty.
Academic standing
UBC recognises top students on the 'Dean's Honour Roll' (criteria by faculty).
Good to know
UBC's defining feature: a 4.33 scale where A+ exceeds 4.0. Treating an A+ as 4.0 (as a US-style calculator would) understates your UBC GPA by 0.33 per A+ course. Always state the scale when reporting to US schools, e.g. '4.10 / 4.33 (UBC scale)'. UBC also commonly records percentages alongside letters.
