How to Calculate Your York GPA
York University records grades on a 9-point scale on the official transcript: A+ = 9, A = 8, B+ = 7, B = 6, C+ = 5, C = 4, D+ = 3, D = 2, E = 1, and F = 0. York also reports a 4.0-scale equivalent for external use. This calculator is set to the 4.0 scale and computes the 4.0 equivalent; read the 9-point figure directly from your York transcript for York-internal purposes.
The calculator above is preset to the 4.0 scale for York University. Enter each course with its credit weight and grade; the GPA is the credit-weighted average, computed as the sum of (grade value times credits) divided by total credits. The tool also reports a normalized 4.0-scale figure so you can compare your standing when applying to graduate schools or universities in other provinces or the United States. For the full cross-scale reference, see the Canadian GPA calculator hub.
York University Academic Standing
York sets good-standing and progression thresholds on the 9-point scale, with the floor varying by faculty (a cumulative GPA below roughly 4.0 on the 9-point scale can trigger academic warning or probation in several faculties). The Dean's Honour Roll recognizes a high cumulative GPA. Confirm the exact 9-point cutoffs and Honour Roll criteria with the York Office of the Registrar.
What makes York distinctive: York reports grades on a 9-point scale internally (A+ = 9) alongside a 4.0 equivalent. The two are not a simple multiplication, so use the GPA stated on your York transcript for official purposes and treat this 4.0 calculator as a comparison estimate.

Converting a York GPA to the US 4.0 Scale
Canadian students applying to US graduate schools, professional programs, or for transfer admission usually report a GPA on the standard US 4.0 scale. The calculator above shows the 4.0 equivalent alongside your York result. For a deeper walk through the conversion across Canadian scales, use the GPA converter, and see the GPA scale reference for how each 4.0 value maps to a percentage and letter grade. Other Canadian schools and their scales are listed on the Canada GPA calculator and the GPA by country directory.
