Summary
Co-op work terms are graded on a Pass/Fail basis and do not affect your CGPA. The grade is based on successful completion of work term assignments. While Co-op grades appear on your transcript, they are excluded from GPA calculations. This ensures academic performance is evaluated separately from experiential learning.
Body
No — your Co-op work term grade does not affect your GPA.
Here’s how it works:
-
📝 You’ll receive a Pass or Fail grade for each Co-op work term
-
✅ A Pass is awarded when you successfully complete all required assignments
-
📄 The grade appears on your transcript but is not included in your CGPA
This system keeps your academic GPA separate from your experiential learning, while still recognizing your Co-op achievements.
