Common Questions
How is my sub-GPA calculated?
The Sub-GPA is based on the 10 most recent undergraduate courses, the equivalent of 20 ORPAS course lengths, even if:
- the courses did not count toward a degree
- the courses were not taken at the university where a degree was awarded
This additional calculation will include supplemental courses (summer, part-time, intersession, correspondence). Failed courses are also included.
Courses without a numeric/alpha grade or any other non-convertible grade will not be included in the calculation (i.e., PASS grade designations).
The SubGPA is calculated by adding the ORPAS converted grades and course lengths beginning with the most recent grouping/duration, to a total of 20 ORPAS course lengths. Where course grades/lengths must be extracted from a full term to make up the 20 course grades/lengths required, the average of the next grouping/duration of ORPAS GPA values will be used. In the situation, where “Full-time”, “Supplementary” and “Semester” durations exist for the same year, the “Supplementary” grades will be used first, then “Semester” and then “Full-time”.
This calculation will include the current year’s fall terms finals.
