For the purposes of the calculation: Only units studied by a student at Deakin University will be included. This excludes units completed at another institution under a cross-institutional study arrangement or for which credit towards a Deakin course has been granted. Units will not be included with the following grades recorded in 2020: NA, NB, NC, XN, WN Units will be included where any of the following grades have been achieved: HD, D, C, P, N, PC The following marks will be used for the purposes of the calculation: Grade Mark used HD, D, C, P Assigned mark PC 50 N 0 For combined course The calculation of the WAM for a course that is a component of a combined or dual course only includes the units that are undertaken as part of the component course. For example, for a combined Bachelor of A/Bachelor of B consisting of 32 credit points in total, the calculation of the WAM for course A will include the units (16 credit points) that are undertaken as part of course A and the calculation of the WAM for course B will include the units (16 credit points) that are undertaken as part of course B. For combined course which consist of 40 credit points in total, the calculation would be based on a 16/24 split. There may be variations to the 16/16 or 16/24 splits depending on the combined course structure as outlined in the relevant accreditation documents.
