Thank you! \ud83d\ude42 ????????? Hey hey, I suppose all the different types of GPAs can be confusing, so I present you with some definitions, provided by my handy dandy now only offered online Calendar! CGPA = Cumulative GPA. This one incorporates every single course you&#8217;ve taken in your undergraduate career, hence the &#8220;cumulative.&#8221; Although it excludes any extra courses, to be clear. Annual GPA = the GPA based on the whole of the Fall-Winter session. So basically everything you took in your second year, for example. Sessional GPA = the GPA of a single session. So there&#8217;s a Fall Session. A Winter Session. A Summer session. Now the only time a course will be marked extra is when you end up doing some sort of surplus. So yeah, you&#8217;ve got the no more than 6.0 FCE 100-levels taken care of. Another time something is deemed extra is when you retake a course you&#8217;ve already passed. In this situation, your first grade is the one that counts toward your CGPA, but the second one is only really taken so that you can meet a program requirement. And another time something might be considered extra is when you take an exclusion of something you&#8217;ve already gotten the credit for. But there&#8217;s no limit for 200\/300\/400 level courses the way there is for 100s, but keep in mind you need a certain number of 300 and 400 ones to graduate. And lastly, you&#8217;ll learn whether or not you&#8217;re in probation in a few weeks when GPAs are released. They&#8217;re being calculated at the moment, but a little birdie told me that they&#8217;ll be around for the May two-four weekend to make it or break it for you.
