Hi there,
I have 2 questions:
1) I'm applying from a university that used a letter grade system. I was wondering what the conversion equates to in percentages for my OVC application. The university is Mount Allison University.
2) One of my final two semesters includes a double-credit course taken over two semesters, but the first half of the course was not taken during my final two semesters. How will this be calculated into my average for the final two semesters?
Thanks for your help!

On the University of Guelph website there is a document at www.uoguelph.ca/registrar/undergraduate/files/gpaug.pdf that summarizes the conversion. We take the midpoint as the actual mark. For the second question please email Kelly Hunter at admdvm@uoguelph.ca. You should already be getting your courses approved for content and your semesters approved for level.

Thank you Ms. Lowenger for your response. All of my courses have been approved by Ms. Lundmark already, so I'm good to go in that respect.
So just to clarify, according to the document you forwarded me, the first conversion table matches Mount Allison's marking scheme. So if I have an A- in a course, it would equate to a 82% on my OVC application? How are As and A+s distinguished? Thanks again for your help!

Yes and A to A+ would be 92.5

Queen's University uses a 4.3 GPA system where A is 4.0 (85-89.9) and A+ is 4.3 (90+). Would this still follow the Grade Point Equivalency Table I where any grade from a A-A+ is converted to 92.5?

I would like to know the answer to guest23's question as well.

Sorry, did anyone figure out the grade conversion Re:Queen's?

It is always the mid range. If A is 4.0 (85-89.9) then that would be equivalent to 87.45%. The A+ would be 95%

Hi guys! For anyone who has done their undergrad somewhere with letter grades, do you know if we put the percentages or the letter grades on the BIF? The BIF has all the conversions so I was wondering which to put down. I'm not even sure it matters but thought I'd ask just in case.

Hi Guest100,
From what I recall when I applied I just put the letter grade and there was no problem with me doing that.

Hi, I am inquiring about this same topic as well. McGill University uses letter grades, with the highest being an A. If I look at the link above and look at the second table, will an A be considered 92.5%? Is 92.5% what I include on my BIF or do we include the letter grade and admissions will be doing conversions?
Thank you in advance

^I can confirm this! I also put the letter grades on my BIF and admissions did the conversion to a 92.5%. Hope this helps!

The BIF this year says A = 87, A+ = 95 but I also went to McGill where A+ doesn't exist.
Should I be writing the letter grade, 87%, or 92.5%? Any clarification would be so helpful!

Cat_vet as above you put the letter grade not the conversion.

Just wondering if anyone has the conversion chart for letter grades to what they would be in percentage for the OVC application? I can't seem to find it anywhere, and I would like to sort it out before applying to see my average! Thanks!

@scorch OVC uses your school's specific conversion chart to figure out your marks (they take the midpoint of the % range that the letter grade covers).
So for example an A+ at Queen's is converted to 95 (https://www.queensu.ca/history/sites/webpublish.queensu.ca.histwww/files/files/undergraduate/courseinfo/gradingscheme/QueenOfficialGradeConversionScale.pdf), an A at McGill is converted to 92.5 (https://www.mcgill.ca/study/2015-2016/university_regulations_and_resources/undergraduate/gi_grading_and_grade_point_averages), etc.

Yeah, but there was a chart that was on the BIF that gave you an idea of what percentage they use with corresponding letter grades.
