'''Disclaimer:''' This chart is centred on the McGill grading system. The '''[http://www.ouac.on.ca/omsas/pdf/c_omsas_b.pdf OMSAS Grade Point Average scale]''' is identical to that of McGill. However, the document that is provided by OMSAS is slightly flawed in that McGill has no C- or D- value. If percentages at other universities do not correspond for McGill letter grades, they are compared directly to the OMSAS/OLSAS GPA scale.

* A mark of 80-84% is an A- at many universities, whereas at York, it is an A. This is because the A- does not exist.

This GPA conversion table is a guide for McGill students to convert individual course marks into equivalents at other universities. To convert your cGPA, please contact the institutions in question.

Conversion table from OMSAS/OLSAS GPA to school-specific GPA/letter grades

Examples of how to read this table:

  • 4.0 at Dalhousie = 3.9 for OMSAS
  • If you get an A at the University of Alberta, your OMSAS GPA is 3.9.


OMSAS[1]
OLSAS[2] 		2.3 2.7 3.0 3.3 3.7 3.8 3.9 4.0
Alberta[3]
Toronto[4] 		2.3 (C+) 2.7 (B-) 3.0 (B) 3.3 (B+) 3.7 (A-) - 4.0 (A) 4.0 (A+)
Dalhousie[5] 2.3 (C+) 2.7 (B-) 3.0 (B) 3.3 (B+) 3.7 (A-) - 4.0 (A) 4.3 (A+)
McGill[6] 2.3 (C+) 2.7 (B-) 3.0 (B) 3.3 (B+) 3.7 (A-) - - 4.0 (A)
York[7] 5 (C+) - 6 (B) 7 (B+) - 8 (A) - 9 (A+)


Inter-university percentage comparison

Examples of how to read this table:

  • You need 75% to get a 3.3 at McGill, but the University of Toronto requires a 77% to get the same 3.3.
  • A mark of B+ covers the same range of percentages at York and McGill. At York, it is worth 7 points out of 9; at McGill, it is worth 3.3 points out of 4.0.
  • A mark of 80-84% is an A- at many universities, whereas at York, it is an A. This is because the A- does not exist.


Percent 60 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 69 70 71 72 73 74 75 76 77 78 79 80 81 82 83 84 85 86 87 88 89 90 91 92 93 >94
McGill[6] 2.3 (C+) 2.7 (B-) 3.0 (B) 3.3 (B+) 3.7 (A-) 4.0 (A)
