5. ALPHA AND GRADING SYSTEMS JR Shaw School of Business has adapted to the Alpha and Grade Point System. Please use the chart below as a guideline

for grade interpretation.

Percentage Letter Grade Point

85-100 A 4.0

80-84 A - 3.7

77-79 B + 3.3

73-76 B 3.0

70-72 B - 2.7

67-69 C + 2.3

63-66 C 2.0

60-62 C - 1.7

55-59 D + 1.3

50-54 D 1.0

0-49 F 0.0

6. HOW TO CALCULATE OVERALL WEIGHTED GRADE POINT AVERAGE Multiply the attempted hours times the grade point for each course in the term, and then divide by the total attempted

hours. Please note: Courses with the HPF (Honours/Pass/Fail) grading basis are not included. Any courses with a mark of “W”, “WF”, and “AU” are also not included. See the example below for clarification:

Course Attempted

Hours Earned Credits

Alpha Grade

% Mark Grade Point (does not appear on transcript - see above alpha grading system)

ACCT220 64 0.0 F 40 F 0

BUS322 64 3.0 A 88 4.0

FNCE234S 16 0.0 P n/a 0 *

FNCE280 64 3.0 B - 71 2.7

FNCE282 64 3.0 D+ 57 1.3

FNCE252 64 3.0 C 64 2.0

* Grading basis for this course is HPF, therefore not included in calculation.

The above is an example of a Year 2 Finance student’s transcript – Fall 2006 (2006/2007 academic year).


Step 1: Take the hours for each course and multiply that by the Grade Point of each course.

ACCT220: 64 X 0 = 0

BUS322: 64 X 4.0 = 256

FNCE234S 16 X 0 = 0 - Omit for Step 2

FNCE280 64 X 2.7 = 172.8

FNCE282 64 X 1.3 = 83.2

FNCE252 64 X 2.0 = 128

Total: 0 + 256 + 0 + 172.8 + 83.2 + 128 = 640 Step 2: Next, add up total attempted hours taken for the term 64 + 64 + 64 + 64 + 64 = 320 Step 3: Next, use the total obtained in Step 1 and divide by the attempted hours in Step 2. GPA = 640 ÷ 320 = 2.0 (always round to one decimal place) The weighted grade point average for the term is 2.0 When calculating the average for each academic year, you need to apply the methods mentioned above for all courses of all semesters for that year rather than one semester at a time. Marks are cumulative.


ACCOUNTING PROGRAM Common to all business is the use of accounting to provide relevant information as the basis for decision-making. Students will be exposed to basic concepts but emphasis is placed on receiving sufficient practice in all procedural aspects to enable them to apply their knowledge of accounting immediately upon graduation.
