How the average is calculated
GPA — [(Sub1 GP × CP) + (Sub2 GP × CP) + ... + (SubN GP × CP)] / (Total CP enrolled)
WAM — Σ(M × U) / Σ(U)
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.
