Generally, the University doesn't provide you with a progressive Weighted Average Mark (WAM) for the units you've completed so far, and a WAM won't appear on your final transcript.

However, if you completed units in Semester 1 2020, your WAM and Converted WAM (CWAM) are included on your academic transcript once you have been awarded. This is to ensure no student was academically disadvantaged due to the COVID-19 health crisis.

Grade Point Average

The University also does not use a Grade Point Average (GPA). If you are asked for a GPA, you'll need to contact the institution that is requesting the GPA for more information about its formula and apply it to your own grades.

How to calculate my WAM?

To calculate your own average mark, you'll need a spreadsheet and your results notice from Sydney Student, which you can find by going to My studies > Assessments.

Steps:

  1. Decide the period of time you want to look at (e.g. semester, full year).
  2. Determine which units to include in the calculation.
  3. Multiply each unit of study mark by its credit point value, then add these totals together.
  4. Divide this figure by the sum of all credit points attempted.
W A M = ( marks × credit point value × level weight ) ( credit point value × level weight )

Generally, all units have an equal weighting of one, although there are exceptions for some faculty and school calculations. See our knowledge article for examples of how to calculate different WAM marks.
