Key Terms and Concepts


A. Calculating Grade Point Average (GPA)

The acronym GPA stands for grade point average, which in turn requires the allocation of grade points to each unit enrolment outcome. Specifically, this involves allocating a grade point value (e.g. 5) to a specific letter score (e.g. credit). Australian providers differ on the exact grade point scale to use, but the process is always the same.

For comparison https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Academic_grading_in_Australia

Paradigm implements GPA in a way that reflects industry practice. As per the above link institutions may define their own GPA scale by adding the relevant information to the grade schema defined in the interface under SYSTEM > Search Grade Type.

We expect providers to assign a GPA value to fail and fail equivalent grades.
