Notes
  • Not all grade codes are applicable to every course or unit.
  • Some codes indicate administrative or examination outcomes rather than academic achievement.
  • If you are unsure about a grade code appearing on your academic record, contact the Student Experience Team via student-experience@india.uwa.edu.au
Weighted Average Mark (WAM) explained
Your WAM, or Weighted Average Mark, is a calculation of the average mark you achieve across the units you complete in your course. It includes all unit attempts within a course, and each course you have undertaken will have a different WAM.
To calculate a WAM:
Sum (unit credit point x unit mark) / sum credit points
Awards with Distinction
For postgraduate coursework courses where distinction may be awarded, the WAM displayed may be different to the WAM calculated to determine eligibility for award of a degree with distinction. The calculation to be awarded distinction in a course can be found in the course rules in the Handbook.
Advanced Standing
If you transfer credit from previous studies, these units and results will not be used to calculate your course WAM. If you transfer between Bachelors courses, you may be eligible for 'duplicate credit' which means these units will count towards both the WAM for your previous Bachelors course and your new Bachelors course.
Results with No Mark
Some grades you receive may not have a mark. See the table below for how they impact your WAM.

Grade Point Average (GPA) explained
At UWA India, your Grade Point Average (GPA) is a simple numerical index that summarises academic performance in a course. 
It includes all your unit attempts within a course, and each course you have undertaken will have a different GPA.
Transferring between Courses
Students who transfer between new courses will have their advanced standing awarded as ‘duplicate credit’, and the mark(s) will be counted towards a GPA. Students transferring credit from old courses or being awarded advanced standing based on previous studies from another institution (or are in a postgraduate course) will only see the reflected credit points achieved on your record; the marks will not be carried over and are not used to calculate your GPA.
Withdrawing from Units
If you withdraw from a unit before the academic penalty date, these units will not count towards your GPA. Withdrawing after the academic penalty date will count towards your GPA as a fail grade.
Awards with Distinction
The GPA reported in associated documents such as official academic transcripts, is derived from units completed under that course. This may be different to how a GPA is calculated to determine eligibility for other matters, such as scholarships, fee places, award of degrees with distinction etc. If in doubt, check the course/admission/scholarship rules for details of the relevant calculation methods used.
Formula used to calculate your GPA
Every unit you do has an assigned credit value; most have 6 credit points. Each grade you receive for a unit also has a value (please see the table below); for example, a High Distinction has a value of 7.
Your GPA is calculated using these values with the formula as follows:
Sum (unit credits x GPA grade value) / sum credit points
(a) The GPA calculation includes all attempts at units that are awarded a numeric grade.
(b) Unfinalised results are not included in the calculation.

What do I do if I have failed a unit?
If you have failed a unit you will need to adjust your study plan to complete your course. This may extend the time needed to complete your course. Your Student Services and Success Advisor is available to assist you.
If you are eligible for a supplementary assessment a grade of SG will show on the MyCamu Student Portal when you check your results. You can check the unit description in the Handbook to see whether supplementary assessment is available for the unit you have failed.
If you believe there is an error in your final mark, contact the relevant Unit Coordinator to discuss your concerns. If an informal resolution cannot be reached you can request a Review. A Review must be submitted within 10 university working days from the day you received your final mark.

Academic progression

Academic progression is an assessment of your academic performance. Your academic progress will be checked at the end of each semester or trimester to determine your eligibility to continue studying your course. If you’ve made satisfactory progress, you’ll be assigned the status of "Good Standing" and will be permitted to re-enrol. If you’ve failed to make satisfactory progress, you may be placed on probation, suspended or excluded.

If you've been struggling with your studies and are concerned about your course progression, it's important to speak with your Student Services and Success Advisor and discuss a study plan to ensure you're better prepared for next semester. You can also speak with your Student Services and Success Advisor if you're concerned about the impact your progression may have on your student visa.
