Undergraduate Distinctions at Graduation
Honours : GPA between 5.5 and 7.4 (70% to 79.4%) (Only available for 4 year degrees)
Cum Laude honours : GPA between 7.5 and 8.9 (79.5% to 87.4%)
Magna Cum Laude : GPA of 9.0 and above (87.5% and above)
The overall GPA is calculated on a minimum of 45 credits for a three-year degree or 60 credits for a four-year degree. Only credits completed at Laurentian University are considered in the GPA calculation.
Interpreting the GPA out of 10
The GPA out of 10 stands on its own merit, but sometimes it is useful to convert to a percentage. Taking the GPA out of 10, multiplying by 5, and adding 42.5 will give a converted value as a percentage.
However, given the nature of the letter grades and their non-linearity with respect to the percentage scale, the conversion at the extremes of the scale (ie, GPA of 0 to 1, or GPA of 10) will not give an accurate representation as a percentage.
Sending Transcripts to Laurentian University
Applicants to Second-entry (graduate or undergraduate) level university programs, must arrange to have official transcripts sent directly to the Office of Admissions and must be received by the application deadline.
Important: For transcripts to be considered "official", they must be sent directly from the Registrar's Office to our Admissions Office, be imprinted with the school's seal and/or bear the appropriate signature. We will not use opened transcripts sent by the candidates. We do not accept faxed transcripts.
