How McMaster calculates GPA
McMaster University uses a 4.0 scale for grade point average. Each letter grade maps to a grade point value, shown in the table below. Your GPA is the credit-weighted average of your grade points: each course's points are multiplied by its credit weight, summed, and divided by your total credits.

Tips for an accurate result
Use the credit weights exactly as they appear on your transcript — a full-year course usually carries more weight than a half course. Pass/fail and credit/no-credit courses normally do not count toward your GPA. For official conversions (for example, graduate or professional school applications), always confirm against McMaster University's registrar and the specific program's stated scale.
