Acadia University GPA

Filed under:

The grade point average is the weighted sum of the grade points earned, divided by the number of courses in which grade points were earned. A 6h course carries twice the weight of a 3h course. Courses accepted as transfer credits or on a letter of permission are not included in the average. Two types of averages are employed. The sessional GPA is calculated at the end of each session. The cumulative GPA (CGPA) is calculated at the same time, but is the sum of all courses taken. The GPA and CGPA will be identical for first-year students.

The normal course load for full-time undergraduate students in the fall-winter semester is thirty credit hours (30h), or fifteen hours (15h) per semester. A maximum of nine hours (9h) may be taken in each part of intersession, except in science and graduate courses where the maximum is six hours (6h). Thus a maximum of eighteen hours (18h) may be taken between the winter semester and the subsequent fall semester. The normal course load in the Faculty of Arts in each part of intersession is six hours.
