Calculation of Grade Point Average (GPA)

The method for calculating the GPA is based on allocating a mark to a grade as follows:

  • HD = 7
  • DN = 6
  • CR = 5
  • PP = 4
  • NN/AN/WN/HN = 0

The weighting of units studied is added together and divided by the total of the marks allocated to the grades (above). The result UP (Ungraded Pass) is not included in GPA calculations.

* Awards Included: Diplomas, Associate Degrees, Bachelor's Degrees, Bachelor's Degrees (Honours), Bachelor's Degrees (Professional Honours); Bachelor's Degrees (Applied Honours), Bachelor's Degrees (Clinical Honours), Graduate Certificates, Graduate Diplomas, Master's Degrees (Coursework).

** A nested award allows a student to progress towards a Master's Degree by completing smaller qualifications, such as a Graduate Certificate and a Graduate Diploma, in a specific order. Each step builds on the previous one and provides credit towards their final qualification.
