Grade Point Average
Quality Points
The quality points for a course are the product of the credit hours for the course and the grade point obtained by the student; e.g., 3 credit hours with a grade of “B” (3.0 points) = 3 credit hours x 3.0 = 9.0 quality points.


Quality Point Total
The quality point total is the sum of quality points accumulated as students proceed through their program of studies.


Grade Point Average (GPA)
The grade point average (GPA) is the quality point total divided by the total number of credit hours.


Cumulative Grade Point Average
The Cumulative GPA is the quality point total divided by the total number of credit hours attempted at the University of Manitoba and courses transferred from other institutions.


Degree Grade Point Average
The Degree grade point average is the Quality Point total divided by the total number of credit hours attempted at the University of Manitoba and courses transferred from other institutions for courses that are acceptable for credit in the current faculty or school.


Term Grade Point Average
The Term GPA is calculated on the basis of all final grades received in the term (eg. Fall, Winter, or Summer terms).


Repeated Courses
When a course has been repeated, the last grade achieved is that which will be used in the calculation of the GPA. (Students are normally permitted to repeat the same or equivalent course once).
