Graduates who achieve a minimum GPA of 'B-' in Institute-accredited programs or streams (MMPA is B) are considered to have met all of the requirements for entry into ICAO's Professional Program. The courses used as the basis for calculating the minimum GPA requirement depends on whether the graduates are from an ICAO-accredited program or accounting stream within a program.
For a program, the minimum 'B-' GPA is calculated based on all of the courses in the program.
For an accounting stream within a program, the minimum 'B-' GPA requirement is calculated based on the set of courses that define the stream.
