The Grade Point Average (GPA), calculated on completion of a higher education program, is a useful tool which students can use to apply for educational and employment opportunities both locally and worldwide.
The GPA is the average result of all grades achieved by a student in their higher education course of study, weighted by the credit value of each subject. Holmesglen has adopted a four- point GPA system.
GPA is an internationally recognised measure for establishing equivalence across different grading systems.
GPA scoring
High Distinction (HD)
Grade Point Score = 4
Distinction (D)
Grade Point Score = 3
Credit (C)
Grade Point Score = 2
Pass (P)
Grade Point Score = 1
Ungraded Pass (PX)
Grade Point Score = 1
Conceded Pass (CP)
Grade Point Score =0.5
Fail (N)
Grade Point Score = 0
Other Grades, e.g., Advanced Standing not included.
GPA formula
To calculate your GPA, add the Grade point of all your units completed in the one degree and divide by the number of units you completed in that same degree. The number of units you have attempted must include both passed and failed results.
For example, if a student has completed 4 units in one degree, with one High Distinction (4), two Distinctions (3+3 = 6), and one Credit (2), their GPA would be 3.
4 + 3 + 3 + 2 = 12 / 4 units = GPA 3
