How to Calculate Your Guelph GPA
The University of Guelph records percentage grades on transcripts and reports a cumulative average as a percentage rather than a GPA. The bands are A+ = 90 to 100, A = 85 to 89, A- = 80 to 84, B+ = 77 to 79, B = 73 to 76, B- = 70 to 72, C+ = 67 to 69, C = 63 to 66, C- = 60 to 62, D+ = 57 to 59, D = 53 to 56, D- = 50 to 52, and F below 50. Enter your percentages in the calculator above for a credit-weighted average.
The calculator above is preset to the percentage scale for University of Guelph. Enter each course with its credit weight and grade; the GPA is the credit-weighted average, computed as the sum of (grade value times credits) divided by total credits. The tool also reports a normalized 4.0-scale figure so you can compare your standing when applying to graduate schools or universities in other provinces or the United States. For the full cross-scale reference, see the Canadian GPA calculator hub.
University of Guelph Academic Standing
Guelph defines academic standing by cumulative average and credits attempted; students below the program's continuation average are placed on probationary or required-to-withdraw standing. The Dean's Honours List recognizes a high semester average (commonly 80 percent or above) over a full course load. Confirm the exact continuation and Dean's List percentages with the University of Guelph registrar.
What makes Guelph distinctive: Guelph's transcript shows a percentage cumulative average, not a GPA. When a graduate program requires a 4.0-scale GPA, convert your Guelph percentage with the receiving institution's table.

Converting a Guelph GPA to the US 4.0 Scale
Canadian students applying to US graduate schools, professional programs, or for transfer admission usually report a GPA on the standard US 4.0 scale. The calculator above shows the 4.0 equivalent alongside your Guelph result. For a deeper walk through the conversion across Canadian scales, use the GPA converter, and see the GPA scale reference for how each 4.0 value maps to a percentage and letter grade. Other Canadian schools and their scales are listed on the Canada GPA calculator and the GPA by country directory.
