Ontario Tech GPA scale
Ontario Tech University grades on a 4.3 scale: an A+ is 4.3, an A is 4.0, and the table below is the registrar's own, with the passing grade and how the average is computed.
This is the scale you are graded on once you arrive. It is not the average you are admitted on — Ontario universities admit on your Grade 12 percentage average, and Ontario Tech’s admission requirements are on their own page.

What passes at Ontario Tech
“Credit will be granted only for those courses completed with a grade of D or better.” “Students are required to maintain a minimum cumulative grade point average of 2.00 to remain in clear standing.”
How Ontario Tech computes your average
The CGPA is “the weighted average of the grade points awarded in all courses.” “Percentage-to-grade equivalencies are included as a guideline for conversion.”
Worth knowing before first year
- No C−, D+ or D−: a 60 and a 66 are both a C (2.0), and anything from 50 to 59 is a single D (1.0).
- A 4.3 ceiling, so an A+ outranks an A — the opposite of U of T.

Waterloo is not in the table: it has no letters, so a 78 is a 78.
