Frequently asked questions
How is a cumulative GPA calculated?
GPA = Σ(grade points × credit hours) ÷ Σ(credit hours). It is weighted by credit hours, not a plain average of grades — a 4-credit course moves your GPA twice as much as a 2-credit one.
What is the difference between the 5.0 and 4.0 scales?
The percentage bands for each letter grade are identical; only the points differ. The consequential difference: on the 5.0 scale an F is worth 1.00 point, while on the 4.0 scale it is worth 0.00. That is why you cannot convert between the scales by simple multiplication.
Do withdrawn courses count toward my GPA?
No. Codes such as W (withdrawn), IC (incomplete), IP (in progress) and NP/NF are excluded from both the GPA and the counted credit hours, even though they still appear on your transcript.
How do I include my previous academic record?
Enter your prior GPA and the credit hours you have already earned, then add this term's courses. Your prior record contributes GPA × credits in quality points, which are blended with the new term — so you never need to re-enter old courses.
What GPA is required for honours?
First-class honours typically requires a cumulative GPA of 4.75+ on the 5.0 scale (3.75+ on 4.0), and second class from 4.25 to below 4.75 (3.25 to below 3.75), provided you have never failed a course and have not exceeded the standard duration. Exact conditions vary by university.
