Official Grading Scale

Australian National University (ANU) uses a 7.0-alt.

ANU uses a 7-point GPA scale: HD (80-100%) = 7.0, D (70-79%) = 6.0, C (60-69%) = 5.0, P (50-59%) = 4.0, and F (0-49%) = 0.0. The GPA is calculated as a credit-weighted average of all courses attempted in the program. ANU also employs an Honours classification system with grades H1 (80-100%, First Class), H2A (70-79%, Upper Second), H2B (60-69%, Lower Second), and H3 (50-59%, Third Class).
