Grading Scheme

The information on this website is intended for undergraduate students in the School of Business, Commerce Program. Academic Regulations in other Faculties may differ.

In May of 2009, Queen’s Senate approved the implementation of a new grading scheme, based on letter grades and a numerical grade point average (GPA). Information about transcripts and their appearance is available from the Office of the University Registrar (transcript legend, transcript FAQ's).
