GPA in Canada

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is an article that discusses the grades that are used in the country of Canada.

In Canada, grade point averages vary by province, by level of education (high school or university, e.g.), by institutions (for example Queens and UofT), even by different faculties in the same institution (for example, Ryerson). The following are commonly used conversions from percentile grades to latter grades.^{[citation needed]} However, this is not necessarily meaningful, since there is not a uniform scheme for assigning percentile grades either:

In Alberta:

A: 80-100
B: 65-79
C: 50-64
D: 0-49

In British Columbia:

A: 86 and above
B : 73-85
C+: 67-72
C: 60-66
C- : 50-59
I : 49 and below (temporary)
F : 49 and below (permanent)

In Newfoundland and Labrador: A+: 95% - 100% A: 90% - 94% A-: 85% - 89% B+: 80% - 84% B: 75% - 79% B-: 70% - 74% C+: 65% - 69% C: 60% - 64% C-: 55% - 59% D: 50% - 54% F: 0% - 49% Grade F is the sole failing mark.

In Ontario:

A (Level 4, above government standards) 80% and above
B (Level 3, at government standards) 70-79%
C (Level 2, below, but approaching government standards) 60-69%
D (Level 1, well below government standards) 50-59%
R (Remedial standards-used in elementary schools), or F (Failing standards-used in high schools), 49% and below.

There are also + and - modifiers. A+ is close to 100% and better than A, A is better than A-, A- is better than B+. So on and so forth. There are no modifiers for R.
