UTS WAM calculator

UTS publishes both a Weighted Average Mark and a 7-point GPA. This calculator covers the WAM, and you can switch to the UTS GPA preset for grade points.

    Guide

    How UTS calculates WAM

    WAM = Σ(mark × credit points) ÷ Σ(credit points). Multiply each subject’s mark by its credit point value, add those results and divide by the total credit points.

    UTS calculates a separate WAM for each course if you study more than one.

    What is included

    Included: subjects with a grade and a mark (Pass, Credit, Distinction, High Distinction, Fail), withdrawn-fail results, and subjects credited from previous UTS study. Fails count, so a low mark stays in the average.

    Not included: pass/fail subjects with no marks, subjects with grades but no marks, and exempt or advanced standing subjects based on study at other institutions.

    The UTS 7-point GPA

    GPA = Σ(grade points × credit points) ÷ total credit points enrolled. Since 14 January 2020, High Distinction is 7, Distinction 6, Credit 5, Pass 4 and Fail 0.

    UTS’s own example has eight 6-point subjects with grade points of 6, 5, 4, 0, 7, 0, 5 and 5. That is 192 ÷ 48 = 4.00. Switch the calculator to UTS (GPA) and enter those grades to check it.

    Level of award can differ

    The WAM used to decide a level of award, such as a degree with Distinction, can differ from the one on your transcript, and faculty rules vary. Ask your faculty if a result depends on it.

    Common questions

    Does a fail count in my UTS WAM?

    Yes. Subjects with a Fail result are included in the WAM, which is why one low mark can pull it down.

    Do credits from another university count?

    No. Subjects credited from other institutions are excluded. Credit from previous UTS study is included.

    Is the UTS GPA the same as the old 4-point GPA?

    No. The 7-point scale applies from 14 January 2020. Before that, UTS used a 4-point scale, with High Distinction worth 4.

    Why might my faculty quote a different WAM?

    Awards and prizes can use a WAM that the faculty calculates for that purpose. Check your faculty handbook entry.
