The transcript legend is a copy of the information that appears on the back of the University of Waterloo official transcripts.
The current legend, as well as the previous version, are available below. These may be more current than what is displayed on the back of the official transcript.
Also see the key to grades (prior to fall 1971).
Averages are reported in all Faculties as percentages. Average calculation values are used for overall averages for students with letter grades on their records. Numeric grades on a scale from 0 – 100 as well as CR and NCR will be used by all Faculties.
Grades for all courses taken prior to Fall 2001 appear on transcripts either as one of 15 letter grades from A+ to F-, or as numeric grades on a percentage scale.

The University of Waterloo acknowledges that much of our work takes place on the traditional territory of the Neutral, Anishinaabeg and Haudenosaunee peoples. Our main campus is situated on the Haldimand Tract, the land promised to the Six Nations that includes six miles on each side of the Grand River. Our active work toward reconciliation takes place across our campuses through research, learning, teaching, and community building, and is centralized within our Indigenous Initiatives Office.
