Concordia University GPA Calculator
Convert your grades using Concordia’s 4.3-point scale.
Concordia University, based in Montreal, uses a 4.3-point GPA scale — the same scale family as Queen’s University and several other Canadian institutions. A+ (90-100%) earns 4.3 grade points, one step above a straight A (85-89%) at 4.0.

Quebec’s Percentage-First Grading Culture
One thing that often surprises students transferring to or from Concordia: Quebec universities tend to report grades as percentages first, with the letter grade and GPA value shown as a secondary conversion. This is different from many Ontario universities, where the letter grade is often the primary record.
Practically, this means your Concordia transcript will usually show your raw percentage mark alongside the letter grade — both are meaningful, but the GPA value is what’s used for cumulative calculations, academic standing, and most external applications.
This percentage-first approach is shared by other Quebec institutions like Université de Montréal, Université Laval, and Université de Sherbrooke — each with their own specific scale (4.3 or 4.33 depending on the institution).
Converting to a Standard 4.0 Scale
Like Queen’s and other 4.3-scale institutions, converting to a standard 4.0 scale mostly means capping the A+ value: a 4.3 becomes 4.0 for comparison purposes, while every other grade band (A through F) maps directly without adjustment.
The calculator above applies this conversion automatically — select “University” mode, choose Concordia, and your 4.0-equivalent GPA will display alongside your native 4.3-scale result.
Calculating Your Cumulative GPA
Concordia calculates cumulative GPA as a credit-weighted average: each course’s grade points are multiplied by its credit value, summed across all courses, and divided by total credits attempted. Enter your courses with grades and credit weights into the calculator above for an accurate result.
What’s a Good GPA at Concordia?
A GPA of 3.7+ is generally considered excellent and competitive for scholarships, Dean’s List recognition, and graduate program applications. A GPA around 3.0 typically reflects solid standing and meets the baseline many graduate programs require.
