QUT GPA Calculator
QUT doesn't use a Weighted Average Mark (WAM). Your academic performance is measured as a Grade Point Average (GPA) on a 7-point scale, where 7 is a High Distinction and 4 is a Pass. If you've been searching for a QUT WAM calculator, this is what you're looking for.¹
Formula
GPA = Σ(grade points × credit points) ÷ Σ(credit points)
Worked example
| Unit | Grade | Credit points | Grade pts x CP |
|---|---|---|---|
| CAB202 | 6 (D) | 12 | 72 |
| CAB301 | 5 (CR) | 12 | 60 |
| CAB420 | 7 (HD) | 12 | 84 |
| Total | 36 | 216 | |
GPA = 216 ÷ 36 = 6.00

WAM vs GPA
Transferring to a WAM university?
If you have transferred from or are applying to a WAM university (like USyd, UNSW, or UniMelb), you may be asked to provide a WAM. QUT doesn't calculate one. Contact the requesting institution for their conversion method.

Common questions
Does QUT use WAM or GPA?
QUT uses GPA (Grade Point Average), not WAM. Your academic performance is measured on a 7-point scale where 7 is a High Distinction and 4 is a Pass. If you have been searching for a QUT WAM calculator, calculating your GPA is what you need. Your GPA appears on your official QUT academic transcript.
What is a good GPA at QUT?
At QUT, a GPA of 5.0 or above is generally competitive, and a GPA of 6.0 or above is considered high achievement. For Honours, you need at least 5.0 for H2B and 6.2 or above for H1 (First Class Honours) under the post-January 2023 thresholds.
What GPA do I need for QUT Honours?
Under QUT's post-1 January 2023 thresholds: a GPA of 6.20 to 7.00 qualifies for H1 (First Class Honours), 5.65 to 6.19 for H2A (Second Class Division A), 5.00 to 5.64 for H2B (Second Class Division B), and below 5.00 for H3 (Third Class Honours). These thresholds are set by QUT MOPP C/5.2.
