Calculating Credit Point Average (GPA) for the Diploma of Health Sciences

It is important that you understand how your GPA is calculated. To assist you in monitoring your progress we are developing a GPA Calculator (coming soon to this website), so you can keep track of how you are going. In the interim, you can manually undertake the calculations as follows:

Adding the marks of all units attempted * = TOTAL

Dividing the TOTAL by number of units attempted = GPA

* All units attempted include all passed and failed units
