Formula and exclusions
WAM = sum of mark × credit points, divided by included credit points. For example, 80 in 6 credits and 65 in 12 credits gives 70. Exclude ungraded units only as your university directs. Some courses use additional weights or different inclusion rules.

Frequently asked questions
Can I convert WAM directly to GPA?
There is no universal conversion. WAM averages numeric marks; GPA averages institution-defined grade points. A WAM alone loses the individual grade information needed for a GPA.
