How UQ calculates your GPA
The University of Queensland defines the GPA in its Assessment Procedure as the average of your grades of result, weighted by the unit value of each course:
GPA = Σ (G × P) ÷ Σ P
G is the grade of result in a course and P is the unit value of that course. If you are enrolled in a course but get no result, G is 0. Most UQ courses are worth 2 units, so a 2-unit 7 adds 14 to the top of the fraction and 2 to the bottom.
The UQ 7-point grading scale
| 等级 | Name | 含义 |
|---|---|---|
| 7 | High Distinction | Exceptional achievement of the course learning outcomes |
| 6 | Distinction | Advanced achievement |
| 5 | Credit | Proficient achievement |
| 4 | 及格 | Functional achievement |
| 3 | Marginal Fail | Developing achievement |
| 2 | 不及格 | Minimal evidence of achievement |
| 1 | Low Fail | Absence of evidence of achievement |
UQ doesn't set university-wide percentage cut-offs for these grades; each course profile explains how its grades are decided. A course with a non-graded pass (P) is excluded from the GPA, a non-graded fail (N) counts as a 2, and the grades G, M, K and X count as 0.
How to calculate your UQ GPA: worked example
| 课程 | Units | 等级 | Units × grade |
|---|---|---|---|
| Calculus & Linear Algebra | 2 | 6 | 12 |
| Introduction to Software Engineering | 2 | 7 | 14 |
| Introductory Statistics | 2 | 5 | 10 |
| Communication course | 2 | 4 | 8 |
| 合计 | 8 | 44 |
GPA = 44 ÷ 8 = 5.50
UQ GPA and percentages
Because grades are decided course by course, there is no official way to turn a UQ GPA into a percentage. The converter tab tells you which grades of result your GPA sits between, for example 5.50 is between 5 (Credit) and 6 (Distinction). For applications that need a percentage, send your official transcript.
UQ CGPA calculator FAQs
Is the UQ GPA out of 7?
Yes. UQ uses a 7-point scale: 7 High Distinction, 6 Distinction, 5 Credit, 4 Pass, 3 Marginal Fail, 2 Fail and 1 Low Fail.
How is the UQ GPA calculated?
GPA = Σ (G × P) ÷ Σ P, where G is the grade of result in a course and P is its unit value. If you are enrolled but get no result, G is 0.
Do pass/fail courses count in my UQ GPA?
A course with a non-graded pass (P) is excluded. A non-graded fail (N) is counted as a grade of 2.
What percentage is a 7 at UQ?
UQ has no university-wide percentage cut-offs. Each course profile explains how grades are decided, so check the profile for your course.
What is a good GPA at UQ?
A 7 is a High Distinction and a 6 a Distinction, so a GPA of 6 or more means your average result is at Distinction level. Requirements for honours, scholarships or postgraduate study are set by each program.
What unit value should I enter?
Use the unit value shown for each course. Most UQ courses are 2 units.
