How to Calculate Your SFU GPA
Simon Fraser University uses a 4.33 CGPA scale. A+ = 4.33, A = 4.00, A- = 3.67, B+ = 3.33, B = 3.00, B- = 2.67, C+ = 2.33, C = 2.00, C- = 1.67, D = 1.00, and F = 0.00. SFU computes a term GPA and a cumulative GPA (CGPA) and prints both on the transcript.
The calculator above is preset to the 4.33 scale for Simon Fraser University. 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.
Simon Fraser University Academic Standing
SFU requires a CGPA of 2.00 for good standing. A CGPA between 2.00 and roughly the program minimum can carry conditions, and a CGPA below 2.00 leads to academic probation and, if it persists, withdrawal. The Dean's Honour Roll recognizes a high term GPA over a full course load. Confirm the exact standing and Honour Roll thresholds in the SFU calendar.
What makes SFU distinctive: SFU's scale reaches 4.33 for an A+, so a transcript of straight A+ grades produces a CGPA above 4.0. Use the calculator's 4.0 equivalent when a US graduate program expects a standard 4.0-scale figure.

Converting a SFU 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 SFU 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.
