Course transfer question

In the entry requirements when it says "achieved a distinction average or better (75%+) across all university units", is it referring to the WAM or each unit individually after you get your grade back?

If it says "average" it's referring to WAM, yes.

Yeah the transfer goes on WAM. WAM is the 'weighted average mark', i.e. they take your score from all your units that you've completed, weight them (at Monash it's 0.5 multiplier for first level units, 1.0 for everything else), and then average out the result. http://www.monash.edu.au/exams/gpa-wam.html (Scroll Down)

Ah okay. So if my WAM is 75% or above they'd consider me for the transfer?
