UBC GPA Calculator
The UBC GPA Calculator works out your weighted percentage average at the University of British Columbia in Canada. A weighted average is each mark times its credits, added up and divided by total credits. It also shows a GPA equivalent for applications.

UBC GPA scale: percentage, letter grade and GPA equivalent
UBC records percentage grades with letter equivalents. Read the results above in three steps: your weighted percentage average, the letter band containing that average, and the separate GPA equivalent from UBC Okanagan Student Services. For an application, match your percentages to the evaluating institution’s scale.
The UBC Vancouver grading table below applies to most faculties. Its letters describe percentage bands. The Okanagan comparison assigns GPA equivalents to individual whole percentages, so percentages within one letter band can have different comparison values.
UBC Vancouver percentage-to-letter scale
Use the percentage on your academic record to find the letter. The Vancouver Calendar provides separate passing thresholds for specific faculties and graduate programmes; for students registered in Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies, the baseline passing marks are 60% for master’s courses and 68% for doctoral courses.
| Letter | Percentage |
|---|---|
| A+ | 90-100% |
| A | 85-89% |
| A- | 80-84% |
| B+ | 76-79% |
| B | 72-75% |
| B- | 68-71% |
| C+ | 64-67% |
| C | 60-63% |
| C- | 55-59% |
| D | 50-54% |
| F | 0-49% |
UBC grades to GPA: Okanagan’s comparison table
These are the published percentage and GPA pairs used by the calculator. The top lookup row also covers averages above its percentage. The calculator rounds each course percentage to the nearest whole percentage before choosing its row, then weights the course GPA equivalents by credits; a rounded course percentage below the table’s lowest row receives a comparison value of zero.
| Percentage | GPA equivalent |

| 90% | 4.33 |

How to calculate your UBC weighted average
Enter one percentage and credit value per included course. Multiply each percentage by its credits, add those products, then divide by total credits. A six-credit course contributes twice the weight of a three-credit course. Select the courses belonging to the session, degree or application you want to assess.
“Load example” fills editable sample courses: 82% × 3 credits, 76% × 3 credits, 88% × 3 credits, 71% × 4 credits, 85% × 3 credits. Their 16 credits give 79.81%, letter B+ and GPA equivalent 3.58. The letter comes from the average’s band; the GPA result averages the course-by-course comparison values by credits. These are two parallel calculations from the same course inputs.
Use Grade % for percentage marks and Credits for course weights. Add rows for additional courses, remove rows to change the course set, or use Clear to begin a fresh set. Positive credits and a completed mark make a row count toward the average.
Choose the course set for your UBC result
Your faculty's rules set which percentage-graded courses go into the average. Vancouver’s Credit/D/Fail policy excludes those electives from sessional and cumulative averages. For admissions, use the receiving institution’s requested course set and conversion procedure. The calculator above applies the weights to the rows you enter.
