Grade point average (GPA)

At UWA your grade point average (GPA) is a simple numerical index which summarises academic performance in a course. Your GPA is reported on your Statement of Academic Record and published under progression on studentConnect. GPA will only appear on your Statement of Academic Record if you began your course from 2005 onwards.
