WAM to GPA Converter

WAM to GPA conversion is a unit-by-unit calculation: each mark becomes a grade point on your university's scale. Choose your university, enter your marks and credits, and get both figures.

How to convert WAM to GPA and back

Why convert each unit?

According to each university's own scale, a grade point belongs to a mark band. Two transcripts with the same WAM can sit in different bands, so converting the average alone gives the wrong GPA.

How do I read a GPA as a WAM?

Find the grade point in the table below to see the lowest mark that earns it. A 5.0 on a 7-point scale, for example, sits in the band shown for your university, so your WAM lies across that band. For the exact figure, use your unit marks in the WAM calculator.

University	Scale	Grade point from lowest mark
Adelaide University	7	7 from 85, 6 from 75, 5 from 65, 4 from 50
ANU	7	7 from 80, 6 from 70, 5 from 60, 4 from 50
Monash University	4	4 from 80, 3 from 70, 2 from 60, 1 from 50
RMIT	4	4 from 80, 3 from 70, 2 from 60, 1 from 50
UTS	7	7 from 85, 6 from 75, 5 from 65, 4 from 50
UWA	7	7 from 80, 6 from 70, 5 from 60, 4 from 50

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I convert WAM to GPA?

Convert each unit, not the average. Turn every unit mark into its grade point on your university's scale, weight the points by credits, then divide by the total credits. The calculator on this page does this from your marks.

Is there one WAM to GPA formula?

No. Each university sets its own grade bands and points, so the same mark can earn different grade points, as the table on this page shows.

What is a 75 WAM in GPA?

A single unit marked 75 earns 3 at Monash on a 4-point scale and 6 at UTS on a 7-point scale. A 75 average across many units depends on how the marks are spread across grade bands.

How do I convert GPA to WAM?

A GPA records grade bands, not marks, so it gives a range rather than one WAM. Use the band table on this page to read the marks behind each grade point, or enter your actual marks in the calculator.

Why can two students with the same WAM have different GPAs?

A WAM averages the marks themselves, while a GPA only sees the grade band of each mark. Marks near the top of a band raise the WAM and leave the GPA unchanged.
