ANU GPA calculator

ANU reports a 7-point GPA and a Weighted Average Mark. Enter your marks and units to see both, using the ANU grade bands.

Guide

How ANU calculates GPA

GPA = Σ(grade point value × units) ÷ Σ(units), rounded to three decimal places. HD is worth 7, D 6, CR 5, P 4, PS (pass at a supplementary exam) 4, and N, NCN and WN are worth 0.

ANU’s own example has courses with a total weighted score of 300 over 72 units, giving a GPA of 4.167.

How ANU calculates WAM

WAM = Σ(mark × units) ÷ Σ(units). No weighting other than units is used. Courses graded NCN or WN count as a mark of zero, so enter 0 for them.

Pass/fail courses and courses with interim or unresolved grades (for example WD, CRS, HLP, DA, RP, WA, WF) are not included.

The grade bands

Marks map to grades like this: HD 80–100, D 70–79, CR 60–69, P 50–59 (PS is 50) and N 0–49. The calculator uses these bands to turn each mark into grade points for the GPA.

What is left out

Some programs have no GPA, including MBBS, MChD and the Graduate Diploma of Legal Practice, and students in research programs do not receive one. Some programs also apply their own calculations, for example for honours or admission, so check your program’s rules. This calculator does not model those.

Common questions

What is a fail worth in the ANU GPA?

Zero. N, NCN and WN all count as 0 grade points, and the course’s units still count in the divisor.

How is a supplementary pass treated?

A pass at a supplementary exam (PS) is worth 4 grade points, the same as a Pass, and counts as a mark of 50.

Does ANU use GPA or WAM?

It publishes both. The GPA uses grade points, and the WAM uses your percentage marks.

Why does my result differ from the official GPA?

The official figure only counts finalised grades and applies program rules. This calculator takes the marks you enter at face value, so use it for planning.
