Calculate Your Canadian GPA Percentage: 12-Point and 9-Point Systems

Understanding the Canadian GPA System

The Canadian GPA system, also known as the Grade Point Average (GPA), is a numerical representation of a student's academic performance. It is calculated based on the grades earned in each course and is used to assess students' overall academic achievement.

12-Point System

In the 12-point system, grades are assigned a numerical value ranging from 0 to 12, with 12 being the highest possible grade. A GPA is calculated by dividing the total number of grade points earned by the total number of courses taken.

9-Point System

The 9-point system is similar to the 12-point system, except that grades are assigned a numerical value ranging from 0 to 9. A GPA is calculated in the same way as in the 12-point system.

Converting Canadian Grades to US GPA

To convert Canadian grades to the US GPA system, you need to first determine your Canadian GPA using the 12-point or 9-point system. Then, you can use the following formula to calculate your US GPA:

US GPA = (Canadian GPA x 4) / 5

Calculating Your GPA Percentage

Once you have calculated your Canadian GPA, you can convert it to a percentage using the following formula:

Percentage = (GPA / 12) x 100 (for the 12-point system)
Percentage = (GPA / 9) x 100 (for the 9-point system)

Important Note

The conversion formulas provided above are approximations and may not accurately reflect your US GPA in all cases. It is recommended to consult with an academic advisor or admissions officer to obtain an official conversion.
