Grade point average—
    Estimate only. Grading scales are set by each institution and change. More importantly, the conversion that decides an application is the receiving institution's, not your own — graduate admissions offices, OMSAS and professional bodies each publish their own and apply it regardless of where you studied. Rules on repeated courses, which years count and how credit hours are weighted also differ. Confirm against your registrar and the receiving institution before relying on any figure here for an application.

    What GPA scale does Ontario Tech use?

    Ontario Tech uses a 4.3 scale. A+ is 4.3, A is 4.0, A− is 3.7, B+ is 3.3, B is 3.0, B− is 2.7, C+ is 2.3, C is 2.0, D is 1.0 and F is 0. There is no C−, D+ or D− grade. CGPA is total quality points divided by total credit hours, where a quality point is credit hours multiplied by grade points.

    A 4.0 here is not a perfect record

    Ontario Tech, still widely searched under its former name UOIT, tops its scale at 4.3 rather than 4.0. An A+ earns 4.3; an A earns 4.0.

    That single point changes how a transcript reads. A student with a 4.0 CGPA at Ontario Tech has averaged an A, with headroom above them. The same figure at the University of Toronto is the maximum possible. Quoting a bare number without the scale attached understates one and overstates the other.

    The scale also has a gap that generic calculators paper over: there is no C−, no D+ and no D−. The grades run C, then D, then F. A tool offering those options is not using Ontario Tech's table.

    Quality points and credit hours

    Ontario Tech's policy uses its own vocabulary, and it is worth matching it.

    • quality points = credit hours × grade points
    • CGPA = total quality points ÷ total credit hours
    • The 4.3 scale (policy ACD 1510):
    • A+ = 4.3 (90–100%) B− = 2.7 (70–72%)
    • A = 4.0 (85–89%) C+ = 2.3 (67–69%)
    • A− = 3.7 (80–84%) C = 2.0 (60–66%)
    • B+ = 3.3 (77–79%) D = 1.0 (50–59%)
    • B = 3.0 (73–76%) F = 0.0 (0–49%)

    Note how wide the C band is. It covers 60 to 66%, seven percentage points, where B+ covers only three. The bands are not evenly sized, which is why converting a percentage average into a letter and then into a grade point gives a different answer from converting each course individually.

    A semester GPA is the weighted average of grades within one semester. The CGPA covers every course counted toward your degree or major.

    Worked example: a 15-credit-hour semester

    You took five three-credit-hour courses and finished with A+, A, B+, B and C.

    1. A+ (4.3) × 3 credit hours12.9 quality points
    2. A (4.0) × 3 credit hours12.0 quality points
    3. B+ (3.3) × 3 credit hours9.9 quality points
    4. B (3.0) × 3 credit hours9.0 quality points
    5. C (2.0) × 3 credit hours6.0 quality points
    6. Total ÷ total credit hours49.8 ÷ 15

    A semester GPA of 3.32 out of a possible 4.3.

    On a 4.0 scale the same grades would produce 3.23, because the A+ would be capped at 4.0. That is the practical difference between the two systems, and it is why the scale has to travel with the number.

    What the policy does and does not cover

    • ACD 1510 governs undergraduate grading; graduate programmes follow a separate policy
    • Percentage-to-letter equivalencies are published as a conversion guideline
    • Academic standing is assessed at the end of each semester against the CGPA
    • The Registrar owns and interprets the policy
    • Ontario Tech was formerly UOIT — older transcripts carry the old name, same institution

    Assumptions and limits

    • Applies the undergraduate scale only, as published in ACD 1510
    • Does not model repeated courses, grade reappraisals or deferred examinations
    • Programme-specific progression requirements are not included
    • Percentage bands are a published guideline, and individual instructors set course grades
    • Where your official record disagrees with this tool, your official record is correct

    What has changed, and when

    Rates on this page have not always been what they are today. If you are working on an earlier period, use the figure that applied at the time rather than the current one.

    1. Approved 26 March 2024 The current Grading System and Academic Standing Policy, ACD 1510, with the 4.3 scale and no C−, D+ or D− grade.
    2. Historic The university was the University of Ontario Institute of Technology until its rename. Older transcripts read UOIT; the grading policy carried across.

    Common questions

    Does Ontario Tech use a 4.0 or 4.3 GPA scale?

    A 4.3 scale. An A+ is worth 4.3 grade points, an A is 4.0 and an A− is 3.7. Calculators that cap the top grade at 4.0 will understate an Ontario Tech transcript that includes any A+ grades.

    Is UOIT the same as Ontario Tech?

    Yes. The University of Ontario Institute of Technology was renamed Ontario Tech University. Older transcripts and search results still use UOIT, but it is the same institution and the same grading policy applies.

    What is a quality point at Ontario Tech?

    The policy defines a quality point as a course's credit hours multiplied by the grade points earned. Your CGPA is total quality points divided by total credit hours, which makes it a credit-weighted average rather than a simple mean of your grades.

    Why is there no C− or D+ at Ontario Tech?

    The published scale simply does not include them. It runs A+, A, A−, B+, B, B−, C+, C, D, F. The C band covers 60 to 66% and D covers 50 to 59%, which is why those two bands are wider than the ones above them.

    What CGPA do I need to stay in good standing?

    Academic standing is assessed at the end of each semester against thresholds set out in ACD 1510, and programme-specific requirements can be higher. Check the policy and your programme's own progression rules rather than relying on a general figure.
