About the ACU GPA System
ACU calculates the grade point average as the average of unit grades weighted by each unit's credit points (clause 107): GPA = SUM (GPA value x unit credit points) / SUM unit credit points, using the grade point values in Tables 1 and 2 of the Academic Regulations.
Why GPA Matters at ACU
ACU honours courses are not classed by GPA. The overall honours grade is the credit-point-weighted average of your honours unit marks: 85-100 First Class Honours (HI), 75-84 Second Class Honours Division A (HIIA), 65-74 Division B (HIIB) and 50-64 Third Class Honours (HIII). We found no GPA threshold for a degree with distinction or a Dean's list in the Academic Regulations.
ACU Grading Note
ACU's Academic Regulations (effective 1 January 2026) set a 7-point GPA: HD (85-100) is 7, DI (75-84) 6, CR (65-74) 5 and PA (50-64) 4. Every fail earns 0: NN (0-49), NH (Fail Hurdle, recorded with a mark of 49), NU (Fail Ungraded) and NL (Fail absent).
ACU Accuracy Scope
Pass Ungraded (PS), Credit Granted (CG) and Withdrawn Without Academic Penalty (WW) are left out of the GPA. If the Course Adviser requires you to repeat a completed unit (after an interruption of two or more study periods, or to keep a professional registration current), every attempt counts; a repeat you choose to take on a non-award, full fee-paying basis is recorded but does not count. Credit transferred from an incomplete ACU award keeps its results in the GPA. ACU states no rounding rule; this calculator shows two decimals.
GPA Tips for ACU Students
- Enter a Fail Hurdle (NH) as 0: it is recorded with a mark of 49 but earns no grade points.
- Leave out PS, CG and WW units; they are excluded from the GPA.
- Weight each unit by its credit points, as clause 107 does.
Common GPA Mistakes at ACU
Counting a Pass Ungraded (PS) as a Pass worth 4. PS is excluded from the GPA, while its ungraded fail (NU) counts as 0, so an ungraded unit can only lower your GPA.
