I took a course on letter of permission through athabasca. On my degree audit it says the grade is "COM". This might sound dumb but that means completed right? does anyone know how that affects my grade point average or does it just not add to my grade point average?

Thanks

Courses taken at other universities don't affect your McMaster GPA, but they can affect your GPA if you are applying to something after your undergrad as you have to show all courses taken.

Yes, it means completed, and no, it doesn't factor into your McMaster GPA. It's evaluated on a pass/fail, kinda, though like MacPack said, you have to provide your transcript when you apply elsewhere so they'll see the grade you got anyway.
