Official Grading Scale
McGill University uses a 4.0 GPA Scale / Letter Grades / Percentage (0–100%).
McGill uses a 4.0 GPA scale with letter grades assigned to percentage ranges: A (85–100%) = 4.0, A– (80–84%) = 3.7, B+ (75–79%) = 3.3, B (70–74%) = 3.0, B– (65–69%) = 2.7, C+ (60–64%) = 2.3, C (55–59%) = 2.0, D (50–54%) = 1.0, F (0–49%) = 0.0. GPA is calculated by dividing the sum of (course credits × grade points) by total GPA credits. McGill does not round up GPA to the nearest decimal point.
