About the UQ GPA System
The University of Queensland calculates the GPA as the sum of each course grade times its unit value, divided by the total units. If you are enrolled in a course but get no grade, that course counts as 0. The GPA is recalculated after final grades are released each semester, and your transcript shows a semester GPA.
Why GPA Matters at UQ
UQ uses the GPA for academic standing, University Medals, Dean's Commendations, scholarships and program transfers. A Dean's Commendation for Academic Excellence needs a GPA of 6.6 or more in a semester in which you are enrolled full-time (at least 6 units). The class of honours uses an honours GPA on a set of UQ courses named in your program, including 16 units at level 3 or higher; at least 12 units of the whole set must be graded, with the standard cut-offs 6.200 to 7.000 Class I, 5.650 to 6.199 Class IIA, 5.000 to 5.649 Class IIB, 4.000 to 4.999 Class IIIA and below 4.000 Class IIIB.
UQ Grading Note
UQ grades most courses from 1 to 7: 7 High Distinction, 6 Distinction, 5 Credit, 4 Pass, 3 Marginal Fail, 2 Fail and 1 Low Fail. The grade itself is the GPA value, so there is no separate grade-point table. UQ sets no university-wide percentage cut-offs: each course profile states how its final grade is worked out, and cut-offs can be moved for a course.
UQ Accuracy Scope
Fails count at their grade (3, 2 or 1), a non-graded fail (N) counts as 2, and X, G, M and K count as 0; a non-graded pass (P) is left out, and grades from other institutions are not in the UQ GPA. UQ states no rounding rule (its example is printed as 5.0; this calculator shows two decimals). The UQ pages we checked do not say how W, T or supplementary results such as 3S4 enter the general GPA, so they are not in the calculator. Engineering honours uses a separate GPA weighted by year level (WGPA).
GPA Tips for UQ Students
- Enter each course's unit value as its credits; UQ's own example mixes 2-unit and 1-unit courses.
- Leave non-graded passes (P) out, but enter a non-graded fail (N) as 2.
- For the class of honours UQ uses your first attempt: after a supplementary assessment, a 2S4 counts as 2.
Common GPA Mistakes at UQ
Converting percentages to UQ grades with a fixed table. UQ publishes none: the method for the final grade is set in each course profile and cut-offs can be lowered or raised for a course, so use the grade on your record.
