Official Grading Scale
University of Western Australia (UWA) uses a 7.0-alt.
UWA uses a 7-point GPA scale aligned with Australian standards: 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 units attempted.
