RMIT GPA calculator

RMIT reports a Grade Point Average on a 4-point scale, weighted by credit points and rounded to one decimal place. Pick the grade for each course to see yours.

Fig. 1 RMIT’s own example: 12 credit points at HD (4), 12 at DI (3) and 24 at PA (1) give 108 ÷ 48 = 2.25, which RMIT shows as 2.3.

    Guide

    How RMIT calculates GPA

    GPA = Σ(grade points × credit points) ÷ Σ(credit points), rounded to one decimal place. In vocational education the weight is student contact hours instead of credit points.

    RMIT’s higher education example has 12 credit points at HD (4 points), 12 at DI (3) and 24 at PA (1). That is 48 + 36 + 24 = 108 grade points over 48 credit points, which is 2.25 and shows as 2.3. Enter those three grades to check the calculator against it.

    The grade points

    High Distinction (HD, marks 80–100) is 4, Distinction (DI, 70–79) is 3, Credit (CR, 60–69) is 2 and Pass (PA, 50–59) is 1. A Supplementary Pass (SP) is also 1. A Fail (NN) and a failed mandatory hurdle (NH) are 0.

    RMIT’s vocational grades use the same idea: competent with high distinction (CHD) is 4, with distinction (CDI) 3, with credit (CC) 2 and competency achieved graded (CAG) 1.

    What is left out

    Fails count as zero and their credit points stay in the divisor. Not included in the GPA are pass-only results (PX), withdrawn courses (WDR), deferred or not-yet-scheduled exams, credit transfer and recognition of prior learning, externally assessed grades and results that are not finalised.

    If a result is not on the list in the calculator, leave that course out, as RMIT does.

    GPA is not the WAM

    RMIT also calculates a Weighted Average Mark, but only to decide honours level. Your transcript GPA is the number used for most other things. For honours, see the RMIT honours WAM calculator.

    Common questions

    Is a High Distinction worth 4 or 7 at RMIT?

    It is worth 4. RMIT’s GPA is on a 4-point scale, while many other Australian universities use a 7-point scale, so the numbers are not comparable.

    Does a fail count towards my RMIT GPA?

    Yes. A fail (NN) is worth 0 grade points and its credit points still count in the total, which pulls the average down.

    Why does RMIT show one decimal place?

    RMIT’s method ends with rounding to one decimal place, so its example of 2.25 is reported as 2.3.

    Do withdrawn courses affect my GPA?

    No. Withdrawn courses (WDR) are not included in the GPA, and neither are pass-only, deferred or credit-transfer results.
