How the average is calculated
GPA — the sum of each unit grade result multiplied by the credit point value of each unit, divided by the total number of credit points included in the calculation
WAM — Σ(unit mark × unit achievable credit point value × unit WAM Weighting) / Σ(unit achievable credit point value × unit WAM Weighting)
There is no CGPA→percentage conversion at this or any Australian university. A WAM is already a percentage; a GPA is a band collapse and cannot be reversed. See why.
