FULL-TIME UNDERGRADUATE CALENDAR | | McMaster Undergraduate Calendar 2012-2013 Additional Calendar Information General Academic Regulations Grading System | Grading System | The method for determining your final grade will be given in the course outline. Unless otherwise specified in a course outline, course results determined on a percentage scale will be converted to an official letter grade, as indicated in the equivalent percentage scale which follows. The results of all courses attempted will appear on your transcript as letter grades. * Before submitting a failing grade, your instructor reassesses whatever examples of your work are available. * To satisfy prerequisite requirements, a grade of at least D- is required, unless otherwise stated. * You retain credit for all courses with grades of D- or better, except in those programs for which a higher grade is specified in the program regulations.Since September 1982, the grading scale has been: Grade | Equivalent Grade Point | Equivalent Percentages | A+ | 12 | 90-100 | A | 11 | 85-89 | A- | 10 | 80-84 | B+ | 9 | 77-79 | B | 8 | 73-76 | B- | 7 | 70-72 | C+ | 6 | 67-69 | C | 5 | 63-66 | C- | 4 | 60-62 | D+ | 3 | 57-59 | D | 2 | 53-56 | D- | 1 | 50-52 | F | 0 | 0-49 -- Failure |
Example of a Weighted Average Calculation, using the grade points and units for courses completed: Course Grade | Grade Points | | Course Units | | | A- | 10 | x | 6 | = | 60 | C+ | 6 | x | 3 | = | 18 | B | 8 | x | 6 | = | 48 | B+ | 9 | x | 3 | = | 27 | Total | | | 18 | | 153 |
To calculate Average: 153 / 18 = 8.5 | |
