The sub-GPA is based on your 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) and failed courses.
Courses without a numeric or alpha grade, or any other non-convertible grade will not be included in the calculation (i.e., PASS grade designations).
The sub-GPA is calculated by adding the ORPAS converted grades and course lengths, beginning with the most recent grouping or duration, to a total of 20 ORPAS course lengths.
Where course grades or lengths must be extracted from a full term to make up the 20 course grades or lengths required, the average of the next grouping or 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.
