HOW TO USE

How to use the grade calculator

Three modes: work out your semester GPA and cumulative GPAX, plan the grades you need to hit a target, or estimate a grade from raw scores.

  1. Enter your courses and creditsType the course, its credits and the grade, then press Add course. The result recalculates on every change.
  2. Add your existing GPAX for the cumulative figureEnter the GPAX and total credits from your latest transcript and it combines them with this semester.
  3. Set a target in planning modeSay what GPAX you want — 3.50 for second-class honours, for example — and it tells you the average you need from here.

Tips

  • S/U, W, I and AU courses are excluded from the average — leave them out.
  • Figures here are planning estimates; the registrar's record is authoritative.
  • Bookmark the page — you will want it again at the end of every term.
HOW IT WORKS

How GPA is calculated and thresholds to know

The formula

GPA = Σ(grade points × credits) ÷ graded credits, with A = 4.0, B+ = 3.5, B = 3.0, C+ = 2.5, C = 2.0, D+ = 1.5, D = 1.0, F = 0. S/U, W, I and AU are excluded from the average.

Honours

First-class honours needs a GPAX of 3.75 or above and second-class 3.50 or above, with no F or U grades, no repeated courses, and graduation within the programme's normal duration.

Graduation and academic standing

A GPAX of at least 2.00 is required to graduate; below 2.00 places you on probation and below 1.50 risks dismissal. Figures here are planning estimates — the registrar's records and the university regulations are authoritative.
