How to Calculate Your Seneca GPA
Seneca Polytechnic uses a 4.0 GPA scale typical of Ontario colleges, where the top grades sit at 4.0 and the value steps down through the letter grades to F = 0.0. Each course also carries a percentage grade that maps to the letter. Because the exact grade-point value of each letter can differ by program, confirm Seneca's grade table in the academic policy before relying on a specific value, and enter your letter grades in the calculator above for the credit-weighted GPA.
The calculator above is preset to the 4.0 scale for Seneca Polytechnic. 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.
Seneca Polytechnic Academic Standing
Seneca defines satisfactory academic progress by GPA and credits earned; a GPA below the program minimum leads to probation and an academic-success plan. Graduation with honours typically requires a high cumulative GPA. Confirm the exact GPA thresholds for probation and honours with the Seneca registrar, since program requirements vary across Seneca's schools.
What makes Seneca distinctive: Seneca is a polytechnic, so its 4.0 GPA accompanies a percentage grade on each course and is credit-weighted across courses the same way a university GPA is. Diploma, degree, and certificate programs may apply different graduation-GPA rules.

Converting a Seneca 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 Seneca 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.
