• All undergraduate courses that you have completed for which grades are available are used in the calculation of the AGPA.
• These courses may have been taken in your regular fall or winter session or may be through summer session, continuing education/distance education courses or through part-time university studies.
• Graduate level courses are NOT included.
• Based on the total number of credits completed, we will drop a certain number of credit hours with the lowest grades (refer to Table A below).
• We always keep your Biochemistry grades used to fulfill the eligibility requirement in the AGPA calculation even if they are amongst your lowest grades.
• TABLE A 

  No. of credit hours completed	No. of credit hours dropped (lowest grades)
  90-95	15
  96-101	18
  102-107	21
  108-113	24
  114-119	27
  120 or more	30

2.  What percent of the composite score is comprised of the AGPA?

• The AGPA is 15% of the composite score for all Manitoba, Out-of-Province, Bilingual and MD/PhD Program applicants.
• The AGPA is 10% of the composite score for all Aboriginal applicants.

3.  How is a repeated course calculated?

• We will add all the courses taken in your undergraduate studies, including the repeated ones and we will drop the specified number of lowest grades based on Table A as published above.
• Repeated courses count as two separate courses.

4.  What is the minimum AGPA required to be able to apply?

• The minimum AGPA required to apply is 3.30.  There are no exceptions. 
• Your AGPA will be calculated using all of your undergraduate work that you have completed (and recieved a grade for) at the time you apply in October. 

5.  If I have taken a Biochemistry course twice, how is that calculated in my AGPA?

• Courses used to fulfill the Biochemistry requirement will always be included in the AGPA calculation even if they are your lowest grades.
• The lower grade will be dropped IF it is amongst your lower grades of eligible credit hours to be dropped (according to Table A above) and you have not reached the maximum number of allowable credit hours to drop.  The courses you have completed must meet the course combinations listed on the Acceptable Biochemistry Course Combinations spreadsheet.

6.  I have completed less than 90 credit hours and some of my grades are not yet available.  How is my AGPA calculated?

• Your AGPA will be calculated based on the courses you have completed at the time of application in October.
• At this time, no courses will be dropped from your AGPA calculation because you will have completed less than 90 credit hours.
• Your AGPA will be re-calculated in May based on the additional courses you completed in the Fall and Winter sessions.

7.  How are AP and IB courses calculated?

• Your AP or IB score will be converted to the University of Manitoba grade point system.
• The IB conversion table is as follows:

• The AP conversion table is as follows:

8.  If my school is on a 4.0 system rather than a 4.5 system for grades, how is my AGPA calculated?

• The University of Manitoba assigns grades on a 4.5 scale as described in Table B:

• If you are able to have your grades on your transcript converted into percentages by your institute, we will assign grade points according to the percentages rather than the letter grade.
• However, if your institute is unable to provide this conversion on your transcript, we are required to use the letter grade assigned on your transcript as this is the official document provided by your institution.
