Effective January 1, 2003 Athabasca University adopted the province-wide alpha/4.0 grading system to report undergraduate final grades.

Courses with start dates of January 1, 2003 and later will use the new alpha grading scale. For courses with start dates before January 1, 2003, the percentage grading scale will be used. Complete information on the Undergraduate Grading Policy and grade-point averages can be found online.

For individual courses, the alpha scale will utilize letter grades ranging from “A+” through “F” to reflect a student's performance and knowledge of the materials covered. Overall academic performance will be reported using the 4.0 grade-point average (GPA) scale.

A grade point is a value between 0 and 4.00 that is assigned to a grade (alpha or percentage). The grade-point average is a weighted average calculated utilizing all of the courses a student has undertaken with AU that have a grade-point value.
