QUT GPA calculator

Queensland University of Technology reports a GPA on a 7-point scale, weighted by each unit’s credit points. Pick the grade for each unit to see yours.

Grade 7, 12 credit points	84 points
Grade 4, 12 credit points	48 points
Grade 6, 12 credit points	72 points
Grade 3, 12 credit points	36 points
GPA (240 ÷ 48)	5.00

Fig. 1 An example of QUT’s equal-units rule, not an official one: four 12-point units graded 7, 4, 6 and 3 give 240 ÷ 48 = 5.00, the same as the grades’ average (20 ÷ 4). QUT does not print a full worked example.

Guide

How QUT calculates GPA

QUT’s GPA is on a 7-point scale. Where every unit has the same credit points, QUT says your GPA is the sum of your grades divided by the number of units attempted. Where units have different credit points, QUT says it applies a weighting. The usual way to do that, and what this calculator does, is GPA = Σ(credit points × grade) ÷ Σ(credit points).

QUT’s applicant guide says to calculate a GPA to two decimal places, rounding to the nearest hundredth.

The 1 to 7 grades

7 is High Distinction (85–100%), 6 Distinction (75–84%), 5 Credit (65–74%) and 4 Pass (50–64%). Fails are 3 (marginal fail, 40–49%), 2 (fail, 25–39%) and 1 (low fail, under 25%).

What counts

QUT reports a GPA by course. It includes the grades of all QUT units completed as part of the course, all attempts at a unit that were awarded a numeric grade, and units with grade K (withdrawn fail), which count as 1.

Not included: unfinalised results, final grades of S (Satisfactory) or U (Unsatisfactory), units taken at another institution, and exempt (E) units. QUT’s applicant guide lists a separate 0.00 value for a withdrawal with academic penalty or a did-not-sit, so check which applies to your purpose.

Awards with distinction

QUT’s grading policy sets minimum GPAs for an award with distinction: 5.5 for undergraduate courses and 6.0 for postgraduate courses. You must also have completed at least 50% of the course credit points at QUT, and double degrees are assessed one component at a time.

Common questions

Do failed attempts count in my QUT GPA?

Yes. QUT includes all attempts at a unit that were awarded a numeric grade, so a fail and a later pass both count.

How is a withdrawn fail (K) counted?

QUT’s grading policy says units with grade K count as 1.

What GPA do I need for a QUT distinction?

The grading policy sets 5.5 for undergraduate courses and 6.0 for postgraduate courses, plus other conditions such as completing 50% of the course at QUT.

Does QUT round the GPA?

QUT’s applicant guide says to calculate it to two decimal places, rounding to the nearest hundredth, so 3.9945 becomes 3.99 and 4.999 becomes 5.00.
