Use of Winter 2020 in CGPA Calculation
28 July 2020
In regards to the Winter 2020 term, we are adhering to the process which has been approved by the University of Alberta:
Calculation of Admission GPA - University of Alberta Students
For current post-secondary students applying to an undergraduate or graduate program, grades issued by the University of Alberta for courses taken in Winter 2020 will not be included in the calculation of admission GPAs.
A University of Alberta grade of CR from Winter 2020 will contribute to the credit requirements for admission and will be accepted as satisfying program prerequisites. A grade of NC will not contribute to credit requirements for admission and will not satisfy program prerequisites.
This is the process that will be followed for applications that are in progress, and any future University of Alberta applications that include the revised Winter 2020 grading scheme.
Calculation of Admission GPA - External Post-Secondary Students
For external post-secondary students applying to an undergraduate or graduate program at the University of Alberta, grades for courses taken in Winter 2020 will not be included in the calculation of admission GPAs.
Passing grades from Winter 2020 will contribute to the credit requirements for individual admissions, provided the grades meet the threshold required for transfer credit as outlined in the University Calendar, and will be accepted as satisfying program prerequisites.
Non-passing grades from Winter 2020 will not contribute to the credit requirements for individual admissions and will not be accepted as satisfying program prerequisites.
