How grading works at the University of Toronto

U of T uses a refined letter-grade system on a 0.0–4.0 scale: A+, A, A-, B+, B, B-, C+, C, C-, D+, D, D-, F. Every course mark (an integer from 0 to 100) converts to exactly one of these 13 grades under the Governing Council's University Assessment and Grading Practices Policy — A+ and A both carry 4.0 grade points (90–100% and 85–89% respectively), down to F at 0.0 grade points (0–49%).

This is a single, university-wide policy: the same scale applies without exception at all three campuses — St. George, University of Toronto Mississauga (UTM), and University of Toronto Scarborough (UTSC). Individual divisions and faculties may add their own procedural regulations (course-load limits, probation thresholds, honours cutoffs) on top of it, but none may alter the grade-point or percentage table itself.

Graduate programs use a separate, truncated scale (A+ through B-, with C/D/F all replaced by a single FZ fail symbol) that is not covered here.

How U of T calculates your GPA

Your Grade Point Average (GPA) is the weighted sum of the grade points you've earned, divided by the number of credits in which grade points were earned — a full-credit course is weighted as 1.0, a half-credit course as 0.5.

The Faculty of Arts & Science calculates three GPAs: Sessional GPA (SGPA), up to three times a year from each term's marks; Annual GPA (AGPA), once per Fall/Winter Session; and Cumulative GPA (CGPA), which considers every individual course you've completed to that point.

Courses taken as Credit/No Credit (CR/NCR) are excluded from GPA calculations entirely, and so are transfer credits from other institutions — neither counts toward your GPA or your Dean's List credit total.

Academic probation and suspension at the Faculty of Arts & Science

At the Faculty of Arts & Science, you're placed on academic probation once your Cumulative GPA falls below 1.50, or when you return from a suspension. While on probation, your course load is capped at 2.5 credits per Fall or Winter term and 1.0 credit per Summer term.

Suspension follows if your Cumulative GPA remains below 1.50 and your relevant term GPA (Annual or Sessional) also falls below 1.70.

These specific probation/suspension thresholds are a Faculty of Arts & Science regulation (St. George campus) layered on top of the university-wide grading scale — other divisions and the Mississauga/Scarborough campuses may set their own course-load and standing rules under the same Governing Council policy.

Minimum CGPA and Honours standing to graduate from Arts & Science

To obtain an Honours Bachelor's degree (HBA/HBSc) at the Faculty of Arts & Science, you must obtain a Cumulative GPA of 1.85 or more by the time of graduation.

Graduating with a higher CGPA earns a diploma notation, based on at least 5.0 credits taken for Faculty of Arts & Science degree credit:

  • With High Distinction — Cumulative GPA of 3.50 or above.
  • With Distinction — Cumulative GPA of 3.20 to 3.49.

How repeated courses, CR/NCR, and transfer credit affect your U of T GPA

You may repeat a course you've already passed only once. Normally, both attempts appear on your record and both marks count toward your GPA. Under the Second Attempt for Credit option, though, if your second attempt earns a higher mark, the first attempt can be designated "Extra" (up to 2.0 credits over your degree) — an Extra attempt is dropped from both your GPA and your degree-credit count, leaving only the second attempt to count.

Transfer credits from other institutions are excluded from all GPA computations and from Dean's List credit counting, and courses taken CR/NCR are excluded from GPA calculations the same way.

Frequently asked questions

Can I save my semesters and track my CGPA at U of T?
Yes. After you calculate a semester's GPA, click "Save as semester" to add it to the built-in CGPA tracker, which then computes your cumulative GPA across every saved semester using the standard weighted formula (Σ SGPA × credits ÷ Σ credits). You can save semesters by course (full breakdown) or quick-add a past semester with just the SGPA and credit hours. Locking, renaming, and deleting saved semesters are all supported, and the tracker shows a running CGPA plus a trend arrow versus your previous semester.
How do I convert SGPA to CGPA at U of T?
Your CGPA is the credit-weighted average of every semester's SGPA. The formula is: CGPA = (SGPA₁ × credits₁ + SGPA₂ × credits₂ + … + SGPAₙ × creditsₙ) ÷ (credits₁ + credits₂ + … + creditsₙ). On this page, add each semester to the CGPA tracker (either by course or as a quick SGPA + credit-hours entry) and the calculator runs the conversion for you on every save, edit, and delete — no manual arithmetic required.
Can I add past semester GPAs without entering every course?
Yes. On the My CGPA Tracker tab, click "Add semester" and choose the quick-add option. You enter just the SGPA and the credit hours for that semester — no course-by-course breakdown required. It works as a GPA calculator with previous semesters support, or as a GPA calculator without course details when you only remember the SGPA from your transcript. Quick-added and course-by-course semesters can be mixed freely; both contribute to your CGPA using the same credit-weighted formula.
Is my CGPA tracker data sent to your servers?
No. Your saved semesters are stored locally in your browser only — nothing is transmitted to GPAWise. A "Clear all tracker data" button is always available on the tracker tab to wipe the data on demand.
Is this University of Toronto (U of T) GPA calculator free?
Yes — GPAWise is completely free to use. There's no signup, no paywall, and your inputs stay in your browser.
Is the U of T grading scale the same at St. George, UTM, and UTSC?

Yes. The same Governing Council-approved scale — A+ through F on a 0.0–4.0 point scale, mapped from the same percentage bands — applies without exception at St. George, University of Toronto Mississauga, and University of Toronto Scarborough. Individual divisions can add their own probation, course-load, or honours rules on top, but the grade-point and percentage table itself is identical university-wide.

What is the lowest passing grade at the University of Toronto?

D- (0.7 grade points, 50–52%) is the lowest grade above failing. F (0.0 grade points, below 50%) is a failing grade — the policy's own table marks F with an asterisked "Fail" footnote.

What CGPA do I need to graduate with an Honours degree from U of T Arts & Science?

A Cumulative GPA of 1.85 or more by the time of graduation, for the Honours Bachelor's degree (HBA/HBSc) at the Faculty of Arts & Science.

What GPA do I need for High Distinction or Distinction at U of T Arts & Science?

A Cumulative GPA of 3.50 or above earns "With High Distinction"; 3.20 to 3.49 earns "With Distinction." Both require at least 5.0 credits taken for Faculty of Arts & Science degree credit.

What happens if my CGPA drops below 1.50 at U of T Arts & Science?

You're placed on academic probation and your course load is capped at 2.5 credits per Fall/Winter term (1.0 in Summer). If your CGPA is still below 1.50 and your term GPA is also below 1.70, you may be placed on suspension.

Can I repeat a course at the University of Toronto?

Yes, but only once per course you've already passed. Both attempts normally count toward your GPA; if the second attempt scores higher, you can request the first be marked "Extra" (capped at 2.0 credits total), which removes it from both your GPA and your degree-credit count.
