Information about the Weighted Average Mark (WAM)

How to use

For each completed unit of study:

Select a year level - (e.g. 1 for first year, 2+ for all other years). You can check the year level by looking at the first digit in the unit code. For example, ATS1365 is a first year Arts unit, ATS2723 is a second year unit.
Enter a mark - (e.g. 65).
Enter the enrolled credit point value of the unit - (e.g. 6).
Enter all completed units (include any failed or repeated units).
Click Calculate.

Disclaimer: The score is an indication only and does not provide an official WAM.

If you believe your WAM is incorrect, log into our virtual assistant and submit an enquiry and we'll investigate it for you.

What is WAM and how is it calculated?

WAM is your weighted average mark: the average of your unit marks weighted by each unit's credit points, and in most courses also by unit level. It uses marks, not grades, so it is more precise than GPA. Monash publishes the exact formula and which units are excluded on the official WAM page.

What is GPA at Monash?

GPA is a 0-4 scale calculated from your grades rather than your marks, where HD is 4 and N is 0. Monash uses GPA for some scholarship and admission decisions and WAM for others, so check which one a specific application asks for.

When do results come out?

Results are released per teaching period on the dates published in the official results calendar, and appear in WES. A grade can be withheld if there is an outstanding matter such as unpaid fees or an academic integrity process.
