GPA calculator

My course GPA calculator

The GPA calculator can be used to calculate your current GPA. To use the tool, select the grades you have received for each topic and the topic unit value. You can give each topic a name/description (eg PSYC1101). You can also add extra topics as required.

Please enter grades to calculate your GPA.

Topic code Grade Topic unit value

Note: This is intended as a guide only, official GPA can be located on your unofficial/official transcript.

How is my GPA calculated?

Flinders University assigns the following values to each grade received:

Pre 2021: High Distinction = 7; Distinction = 6; Credit = 5; Pass = 4; Fail = 0; Withdraw Fail = 0

From 2021: High Distinction = 7; Distinction = 6; Credit = 5; Pass = 4; Fail = 1.5; Withdraw Fail = 1.5

To calculate your GPA, multiply the grade value received by the unit value for each topic (usually 4.5). Add the values obtained for each topic together, and divide by the total unit value.

Non-Graded Pass (NGP) and Withdraw, Not Fail (WN) topics are not included in the calculations.

Example:

Jenny has completed 4 topics, each with a unit value of 4.5. She received 1 Distinction, 1 Pass, 1 Fail (post 2021) and 1 Non-Graded Pass

Jenny's GPA is calculated as follows:

  • Topic 1: 6 (Distinction) x 4.5 = 27
  • Topic 2: 4 (Pass) x 4.5 units = 18
  • Topic 3: 1.5 (Fail) x 4.5 units = 6.75
  • Topic 4: not included in the calculations
  • Total value for all topics: 27 + 18 + 6.75 = 51.75
  • Total units studied: 4.5 units x 3 topics = 13.5 (note: the Non-Graded Pass topic is not counted)
  • Jenny's GPA: total value/total units = 51.75 / 13.5 = 3.83
Final topic grades keyboard_arrow_up

Final topic grades are available via the Student System after they have been certified by the College Examinations Board. The result shown in the Student System is the overall grade you have been awarded, and will not show you the results of each assessment piece or exam. If you require the details of your examination results, please contact your topic coordinator.

Grades are usually awarded according to the following:

Grade Score
High Distinction (HD) 85 - 100
Distinction (DN) 75 - 84
Credit (CR) 65 - 74
Pass level (P) 50 - 64
Fail (F) 0 - 49
Non-graded pass for satisfactory performance (NGP)  

Please see the Assessment Policy and Procedures for further details.
