Enter the number of units you completed at each grade level — High Distinction, Distinction, Credit, Pass, and Fail — and the Australian GPA Calculator returns your Grade Point Average on a 7-point scale. See your GPA alongside a breakdown of total graded units and weighted grade points.

Australian universities use a 7-point GPA scale. High Distinction (HD) = 7, Distinction (D) = 6, Credit (C) = 5, Pass (P) = 4, and Fail (F) = 0. A higher GPA indicates stronger academic performance across all completed units.
Your GPA is calculated by multiplying the number of units at each grade by its corresponding grade point value, summing all those products, then dividing by the total number of graded units. For example, 4 HD units (×7) + 3 D units (×6) + 2 C units (×5) + 1 P unit (×4) = 57 points ÷ 10 units = GPA of 5.70.
Generally, Ungraded Pass (UP) units are not included in the standard GPA calculation. Some universities assign them a grade point value of 4 in exceptional cases. Check your university's specific GPA Calculation Guideline to confirm how UP units are treated.
An X grade or WF (Withdrawn Fail) is a type of fail result that typically carries a grade point of 0, just like a standard fail. It is usually recorded when a student withdraws from a subject after the census date without an approved reason. These units are included in your GPA calculation.
Most Australian universities require a GPA of 5.0 or higher (on the 7-point scale) for entry into an Honours program. Scholarship requirements vary by institution but commonly require a GPA of 6.0 or above. Always check the specific requirements with your university.
Yes. Simply total up all units at each grade level across your programs and enter them into the calculator. Some universities include units completed across different programs in a single GPA calculation — refer to your university's GPA Calculation Guideline for the exact policy.
No. This calculator provides an estimate based on the standard 7-point Australian grading formula and should be used as a guide only. For an official GPA calculation, request an official academic transcript or contact your university's student administration office.
A rough conversion is to divide your Australian GPA by 7 and multiply by 4. For example, an Australian GPA of 5.6 ÷ 7 × 4 ≈ 3.2 on the US scale. However, many US institutions use their own conversion tables for Australian grades, so always check directly with the receiving institution.
