How to Calculate Your Western GPA
Western University records percentage grades on transcripts. The letter bands are wide: A+ = 90 to 100, A = 80 to 89, B = 70 to 79, C = 60 to 69, D = 50 to 59, and F below 50. Western does not print a GPA, but it converts percentages to a 4.0 scale for graduate and external applications. Enter your course percentages and weights in the calculator above for a credit-weighted average.
The calculator above is preset to the percentage scale for Western 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.
Western University Academic Standing
Western requires a minimum modular and overall average for good standing and to remain in a chosen module or program; many honors modules require a cumulative average near 70 percent, and progression rules are set per faculty. The Dean's Honor List recognizes high annual averages. Confirm the exact module and Dean's List percentages with the Western Office of the Registrar.
What makes Western distinctive: Western uses broad letter bands on a percentage transcript: a single A spans a full ten points (80 to 89), so percentage detail matters more than the letter when you convert to a 4.0 GPA for applications.

Converting a Western 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 Western 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.
