About the WSU GPA System
WSU's official example: units of 10, 10, 10 and 40 credit points graded High Distinction, Distinction, Fail and High Distinction give [(10×7) + (10×6) + (10×0) + (40×7)] ÷ 70 = 5.857. WSU keeps a term GPA, used for progression, and a cumulative GPA over your enrolment in a program.
Why GPA Matters at WSU
Progression is judged on your term GPA: 3.500 or more is Good Standing, 2.500 to 3.499 At Risk, 1.500 to 2.499 Conditional Enrolment and 1.499 or less Exclusion. A cumulative GPA of 6.0 or more in a coursework program earns the award "with distinction", and the Dean's Merit List needs a GPA of 6.00 on at least 40 credit points in the academic year. The Dean's Medal goes to the highest cumulative GPA in a program's graduating cohort if it is 6.25 or higher; the University Medal needs Class I Honours and a cumulative GPA of 6.5 in an honours program of at least 80 credit points.
WSU Grading Note
Western Sydney University grades on a 7-point GPA scale: High Distinction (100-85) is 7, Distinction 6, Credit 5 and Pass (64-50) 4. Every fail grade counts 0, including a Compulsory Fail (CF) with a total mark of 50 or more. The GPA is credit points times grade points, divided by the total credit points attempted.
WSU Accuracy Scope
Both grades of a repeated unit count. Satisfactory (S), Withdrawn without academic penalty (W), advanced standing (K and L) and Aegrotat Pass (Z) are left out. WSU states no rounding rule; its own example is printed to three decimals (5.857), while this calculator shows two. Students of The College (foundation programs) have a different grading schema.
GPA Tips for WSU Students
- Take each unit's credit points from the Handbook. The calculator takes up to 30 credit points per row, so enter a 40-credit-point unit, like the one in WSU's example, as two rows of 20 with the same grade.
- Keep failed attempts in: both grades of a repeated unit count.
- Check your term GPA against 3.500, the Good Standing threshold.
Common GPA Mistakes at WSU
Leaving out a Compulsory Fail because the total mark was 50 or more. A CF counts 0 grade points, like any other fail.
