GPA Drops

[mochimochi]

Hi everyone,

Is there any way to verify how many credits Uvic drops for the GPA calculations? I know there's a chart including helpful info posted on this website, but I couldn't find information from Uvic themselves. Thank you!

You can verify the number of credits UVIC drops for GPA calculations by contacting UVIC's Registrar's Office directly. They will provide accurate and up-to-date information. The website chart may not reflect the most current policy.

I couldn't find the dropped credits information anymore on their website for this cycle (and also didn't hear back from when I emailed them 😞 ) Did you ever get more information on this?

Hi! 
Yes, I emailed them and this is what they sent me: 

Depending upon the number of units or credits completed, we will eliminate some of the lowest grades from the GPA calculation, according to an established sliding scale (see chart below). For example, if you have completed a four-year degree (60 units/ 120 credits), we eliminate the 9 lowest units (18 credits) from the GPA calculation.

Accumulated Units           Units Discounted

48 – 51.9                                                 3

52 – 57.9                                                 6

58 – 63.9                                                 9

64-69.9                                                   12

70 or more                                              15                                       

Accumulated Credits       Credits Discounted

96 - 103.9                                               6

104 - 115.9                                             12

116 - 127.9                                             18                             

128 - 139.9                                             24                                            

140 or more                                            30

I hope this helps!

Hi! Thanks so much for your reply. Would you be able to disclose the date of when you received their reply? Just hoping to confirm that last year's drop information still apply to the current cycle :))
