How to Calculate Your uOttawa GPA
The University of Ottawa (uOttawa) records grades on a 10-point scale where A+ = 10, A = 9, B+ = 8, B = 7, C+ = 6, C = 5, D+ = 4, D = 3, E = 2 (conditional), and F = 0, alongside a percentage. This calculator is set to the 4.0 scale and computes the 4.0 equivalent; read the 10-point grade-point average directly from your uOttawa transcript for university-internal purposes.
The calculator above is preset to the 4.0 scale for University of Ottawa. 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 Ottawa Academic Standing
uOttawa sets good-standing and probation thresholds on the 10-point scale, with a cumulative GPA below the faculty floor triggering probation. The Dean's Honour List recognizes a high annual GPA over a full course load. Confirm the exact 10-point cutoffs for your faculty with the uOttawa registrar.
What makes uOttawa distinctive: uOttawa grades on a 10-point scale (A+ = 10) and is Canada's largest bilingual (English and French) university. The 10-point and 4.0 scales do not convert by a single multiplier, so use the figure on your uOttawa transcript for official purposes.

Converting a uOttawa 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 uOttawa 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.
