Note: For planning only. Official WAM on SOLS (Student Online Services). WAM = Σ(mark × cp) ÷ Σ(cp). F and WF (0%) included in WAM. W (Withdrawal before census), S/NS (pass/fail), WH (Withheld) excluded. Check UOW Results for full grade information. Course progress requires passing more than 50% of credit points per session.
A UOW WAM calculator helps students estimate their Weighted Average Mark and current subject marks.
WAM = Σ(actual mark × credit points) ÷ Σ(credit points). No year-level weighting (unlike Monash).
A 74% in a 6-cp subject and a 58% in a 6-cp subject: WAM = (74×6 + 58×6) ÷ 12 = 792 ÷ 12 = 66.00.
