How does the letter grade system work?
The University of Manitoba uses a Letter Grade System, wherein every final grade is a letter grade ranging from A+ to F. The Letter Grade System is explained in the Undergraduate Calendar. Students in the Faculty of Arts who receive grades of F should note that a failing grade cannot be removed from a transcript, even if the same course is repeated and successfully completed. Students who do not write the final examination will obtain the notation “NP” in addition to the grade assigned, e.g., F-NP (Failure — No Paper). To graduate with a B.A. General Degree, you must achieve a cumulative grade point average of 2.0 on the 90 credit hours used to meet degree requirements. To graduate with a B.A. Advanced Degree, you must achieve a cumulative grade point average of 2.0 on 120 credit hours. Students in a B.A. Honours Program must achieve a higher grade point average.
