Frequently Asked Questions

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.

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.

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.

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 Officially, grades like P (Pass), N (Fail - No Mark), or W (Withdrawn) might be excluded from the UQ GPA calculation.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.

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.
