Title: Melbourne Uni GPA
Post by: redmosez on May 21, 2010, 06:03:37 am: Hey guys,

Does anybody have a link to whether Melbourne Uni use GPA (7 point scale)?

I've heard that only WAM is shown on your transcript.

85-100 - First Class Honours (H1)
75-84 - Second Class Honours Div A (H2A)
70-74 - Second Class Honours Div B (H2B)
65-69 - Third Class Honours (H3)
50-64 - Pass (P)
< 50 - Fail (N)

Alternatively, you could see this thread for a discussion about GPA at UoM.

I was talking to a workshop coordinator and he says the Uni doesn't calculate GPA on a 7 point scale, only WAM.

Thanks for the link but the problem is this isn't UoM's GPA ranking method. This is specifically for medicine.

I'm pretty sure GPA isn't officially calculated at UoM.
