UQ GPA Calculation Overview
The UQ Grading Scale
Under the University of Queensland's official grading rules, courses are scored on a scale of 1 to 7.
- • 7: High Distinction (HD)
- • 6: Distinction (D)
- • 5: Credit (C)
- • 4: Pass (P)
- • 3, 2, 1: Fail (F)
GPA Mathematics Formula
To determine your final Grade Point Average, each individual course grade is multiplied by the course's credit load (its units). These numbers are summed together and divided by the total number of combined units you attempted:
GPA = Σ (Grade × Units) / Σ (Units)
Note: Always consult official university channels for exact grading bounds. Withdrawn courses or Pass/Fail practicums typically do not factor into formal GPA mathematics.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does UQ calculate GPA?
UQ calculates GPA using a weighted average. The formula is: GPA = Sum of (Grade Point × Course Units) / Sum of (Course Units). Grades are on a 7-point scale (7=High Distinction, 4=Pass, etc.). This calculator applies that formula.
What is the UQ 7-point grading scale?
The scale is typically: 7 (High Distinction), 6 (Distinction), 5 (Credit), 4 (Pass), 3 (Fail), 2 (Fail), 1 (Fail). Some courses might use Pass/Fail grades which may or may not be included in GPA calculations depending on UQ rules.
What are 'Course Units'?
Each course at UQ has a unit value (often 2 units per standard course, but can vary). This value represents the weighting of the course in your overall GPA calculation. Check your UQ course profile for the unit value.
Does this calculator handle Pass/Fail or withdrawn courses?
This calculator focuses on graded courses (1-7). Officially, grades like P (Pass), N (Fail - No Mark), or W (Withdrawn) might be excluded from the UQ GPA calculation. You should omit such courses when using this tool for an accurate GPA based on graded units.
Where can I find my official UQ grades and units?
Your official grades and the unit value for each course can be found in your UQ student portal (mySI-net) or on your academic transcript.
