For students who have attended CEGEP, calculate their secondary school GPA by converting grades for 10 and 11 as indicated
above. Then, also calculate the CEGEP GPA by converting line-by-line all final grades listed on the Ministry of Education
transcript for College-Level programs to US equivalents, then convert to quality points. Weight each course according to the chart
below using the credit assigned on the Ministry of Education transcript. Combine the quality points and credits from the student’s
