Understanding your GPA and its effects on your progression is an important part of being a university student!
Your GPA is used to determine whether or not you are meeting the progression requirements of your program. Before using the GPA calculator, you must review your program's progression requirements in the academic calendar to understand what grades you must achieve to progress to the next year of your program and graduation.
The GPA calculator is for personal and informational purposes only. The calculations are unofficial. Your official GPA and academic record is available on LORIS. To check your final grades prior to them going official (e.g. mid-January for fall term, mid-June for winter term), please review your Unofficial Record of Coursework under Student Services -> Student Records.
Did you know that Laurier uses a 12-point grade scale? The table below outlines how your letter grades convert to grade points. Cross reference your Unofficial Record of Coursework with this table to determine the grade points that you should use in the GPA calculator.

Once you've confirmed your grade points, you're ready to use the GPA calculator below!
If you wish to determine how much of an improvement you will see if you repeat a course that you have failed:
A grade of DR, XF or F is a failed course with a ‘zero’ GPA value.
When an X appears beside a final passing grade, the final examination was not written and the grade is based upon term work. Enter XF or the passing grade (e.g., for XD enter “D”) as appropriate.
If the course was dropped after academic deadline, the course is failed unless you have successfully petitioned for an exception.
