A student who receives a "C+" or lower in any one course will be required to withdraw regardless of their grade point average (GPA) unless the program recommends otherwise. If the program permits the student to retake a failed course, the second grade will replace the initial grade in the calculation of the GPA, and both grades will appear on the transcript.

Thesis-based students in the Faculty of Graduate Studies, who do not maintain a GPA within the last 12 months of at least 3.00 at the May reviewing period will be required to withdraw from the program unless the program recommends otherwise.

Course-based students in the Faculty of Graduate Studies who do not maintain an annual GPA of at least 3.00 will be required to withdraw from the program unless the program recommends otherwise. The GPA for course-based students will be calculated each year at the time of their registration anniversary.

A student must have a cumulative GPA of at least 3.00 in order to graduate.

A graduate program may recommend to the Faculty of Graduate Studies that a student be required to withdraw for lack of satisfactory progress in either course work or research.

The Faculty of Graduate Studies, after consultation with the graduate program and/or supervisory committee concerned, may initiate the withdrawal of a student.

Final grades may be accessed through the Student Centre at https://my.ucalgary.ca/.
