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 Formula
The value for the grade achieved for each subject is multiplied by the number of credit points for that subject. Each degree has a listing of subject credit points located in the Program Structure section. These weighted grade values are totalled and then divided by the total number of subject credit points.
