Undergraduate, Centre for Continuing Education, and Independent Careers Grading Scale

Effective September 1982  – March 2015

For the purposes of satisfying prerequisite requirements a grade of at least D- is required unless otherwise stated.

Current Averages

Sessional Average (SA) is a weighted average based on all grades attained in a session. A weighted average of 9.5 is equivalent to first class standing.

Graduation with Distinction is based on a minimum of 9.5 average over the entire programme of study.

Deans’ Honour List standing is based on a minimum 9.5 average on at least 30 units since last assessed.

Provost Honour Roll is based on a 12.0 average on at least 30 units since last assessed.

Course Credit

Undergraduate courses are rated in terms of units. A unit normally consists of one lecture hour per week per term or one laboratory period of not less than two and not more than three hours per week per term.

Discontinued Grading Systems

Valid up to and including Summer School 1974

A final grade of E (40-49) may be accepted for credit on condition that the student has an overall weighted average of 55% and that the number of units with marks in the range of 40-49 does not constitute more than 20% of the units required for the Year. Otherwise final standings in this range will be treated as failures.

VR indicates that credit has been refused for this course. It will be counted as an attempt, but will not be included in the calculation of averages.

Discontinued Averages

The following averages were discontinued in September of 1993 when the University’s current Academic Regulations came into effect, except for those students who graduated in the Spring or Fall of 1994.

University Average (UA) is computed on the grades obtained in all courses since the last review of student standing.

Cumulative Area Average (CAA) is computed using the best 80% of the grades obtained in courses taken in the discipline beyond Level 1.

Graduation Average (GA) is used to determine the standing of a student at the time of graduation computed on the grades in a minimum number of courses taken in the discipline, depending on the programme taken.
