UOS GPA Calculator

This tool is specifically designed for University of Sydney students to estimate their GPA based on their grades and unit credit points. Calculate your academic performance accurately using the official UoS grading scale.

How It Works

The University of Sydney uses a 7-point grading scale where High Distinction (HD) = 7 points, Distinction (D) = 6 points, Credit (Cr) = 5 points, Pass (P) = 4 points, and Fail (F) = 0 points. Your GPA is calculated as a weighted average using the formula:

GPA = Σ(Grade Point × Credit Points) / Σ(Credit Points)

This means units with more credit points have a greater impact on your overall GPA.

Inputs Explained

  • Course/Unit Name: Optional field to help you identify your units (e.g., "Mathematics 101")
  • Grade: Select your final grade for the unit from the official UoS grading scale
  • Credit Points: Enter the credit point value of the unit (typically 6, 12, or 18 points)

You can find this information on your academic transcript or in your student portal.

Example

Calculating GPA for three units:

6 6 5 30 Physics 103 Pass (P) 4 24
Unit Grade Credit Points Grade Point Quality Points
Biology 101 Distinction (D) 36
Chemistry 102 Credit (Cr) 6
6
Totals 18 90

Calculation: GPA = 90 (Total Quality Points) / 18 (Total Credit Points) = 5.00

Tips & Notes

  • UoS GPA differs from WAM (Weighted Average Mark) - GPA uses a 7-point scale while WAM uses percentage marks
  • Special grades like 'Fail No Penalty' (FN) may not affect your GPA but check the official handbook for specifics
  • 'Pass Conceded' (PC) grades are typically treated as Pass (P) for GPA calculations
  • Incomplete (I) grades must be finalized before they can be included in GPA calculations
  • Your official GPA is calculated by the university and appears on your academic transcript

Frequently Asked Questions

A High Distinction (HD) at the University of Sydney is the highest grade achievable, corresponding to 7 grade points on the 7-point scale. It typically represents exceptional performance well above the expected standard.

GPA (Grade Point Average) uses the 7-point grading scale where grades are converted to numerical values (HD=7, D=6, etc.). WAM (Weighted Average Mark) is calculated using actual percentage marks. Both measure academic performance but on different scales.

Yes, a Pass Conceded (PC) grade is typically treated as a Pass (P) for GPA calculations, which equals 4 grade points on the UoS 7-point scale. However, it signifies special circumstances led to the pass rather than meeting standard requirements.

Your official GPA is calculated by the University of Sydney and appears on your academic transcript. You can access this through your student portal (MyUni) under the academic records section.

Units with Withdrawn (W) grades typically do not count toward your GPA calculation as they don't receive a grade point value. However, policies may vary, so check with the university for specific cases.

A GPA of 5.0 or above is generally considered good at UoS, as it represents a Credit average or better. For honors programs and postgraduate study, higher GPAs (6.0+) are often required. Requirements vary by faculty and program.
