Nothing is going to change.
BUT, if you go see one of your profs, and find somewhere to get a few more marks, which results in another GP, they will have to submit it and your GPA will change.
You only have 6 months after grades have been released to dispute though

I'm guessing you had a 12 in every class except this one? If so, over 77 units (I used the undergrad calendar for your program) your average is still 11.96, which rounds to a 12.0

That the way Mac awards the provost is somewhat lacking? I was trying to point out that if you have a normal courseload of 10 classes and get ten 12s youll be on provost, but if ur in eng and have twelve classes u can get more than the ten 12s while also having more work due to the larger courseload and not be placed on the list. |

I wonder if there has ever been an engineer that has literally 12'd all courses throughout the 4 or 5 years...

By whom? I know a recent graduate on the Provost Honour Roll who told me that they didn't get a 12 in all of their classes (they had one or two 11s)

If you have a 9.46, you're on the DHL so you should be on the Provost Honour Roll with an 11.96

Interesting, but they don't decide if you're on the PHR though. I'd email the registrar just to be sure.

I'm not sure if he's gotten it every year, but my TA from 1C03 got it in his 1st and 3rd for sure. 2nd, I can't confirm.
