Deakin WAM calculator

Deakin reports a Weighted Average Mark and does not put it on your transcript. Enter each unit’s mark and credit points, or type PC, XN or WN where there is a grade and no mark.

Mark 60, 1 credit points	60
Mark 60, 1 credit points	60
Mark 75, 1 credit points	75

Mark 80, 1 credit points	80
Mark 0, 1 credit points	0
WAM (350 ÷ 6)	58.333

Fig. 1 Deakin’s own example: 350 ÷ 6 credit points = 58.333. Withdrawn-late units are left out, and the withdrawn-fail counts as 0.

Guide

How Deakin calculates your WAM

WAM = Σ(achievable credit points × mark) ÷ Σ(achievable credit points). Deakin counts your passed, failed and withdrawn-fail units, and a withdrawn-late unit is not an achievable credit point.

Deakin’s example has two Credits of 60, two Distinctions of 75, a High Distinction of 80, two withdrawn-late units and one withdrawn-fail. That is 120 + 150 + 80 + 0 = 350, divided by 6 units, which gives 58.3.

Grades without a mark

The grade bands are HD 80–100, D 70–79, C 60–69, P 50–59 and N (fail) 0–49. Three grades carry no mark, so Deakin uses a default: PC (Pass Conceded) counts as 50, XN counts as 0 and WN (withdrawn-fail) counts as 0. Type PC, XN or WN into the mark box to use them.

What is left out

Withdrawn-late (WL) units are not included. Units completed at other institutions under a cross-institutional arrangement, and units for which credit has been granted, are also excluded. Only units with a grade in Deakin’s list are counted.

Where to find your WAM

Your WAM will not appear on your academic transcript, so you need to calculate it from your results. Some courses, and combined courses, have their own specific WAM calculations, so check Deakin’s page if that applies to you.

Common questions

What does a Pass Conceded count as?

Deakin uses a default WAM mark of 50 for a Pass Conceded (PC).

Do withdrawn units count?

It depends. A withdrawn-fail (WN) counts as 0, but a withdrawn-late (WL) unit is left out.

Do fails count in my WAM?

Yes. A failed unit is included with its mark, and Deakin notes that the fail mark is included.

Does my transcript show my WAM?

No. Deakin says your WAM will not appear on your academic transcript.
