2025 Selection GPA Calculation
GPA refers to your Grade Point Average, a simple numerical index that summarises academic performance in a course.

Your selection GPA for JD admission will be calculated on a maximum 7-point scale and is rounded to two decimal places. Where appropriate, your grades will be converted to this scale using approved guidelines.

If you have completed more than one degree qualification, your selection GPA will include all completed qualifications. Each qualification is weighted by standard full-time degree duration, as part of a combined selection GPA.
2025 Selection GPA Calculation
GPA refers to your Grade Point Average, a simple numerical index that summarises academic performance in a course.

Your selection GPA for JD admission will be calculated on a maximum 7-point scale and is rounded to two decimal places. Where appropriate, your grades will be converted to this scale using approved guidelines.

If you have completed more than one degree qualification, your selection GPA will include all completed qualifications. Each qualification is weighted by standard full-time degree duration, as part of a combined selection GPA.
Calculation of your selection GPA includes:
  • unit grades from all completed* University-level degrees, including fails
  • unit grades for any advanced standing that contributes toward your completed qualifications**
  • unit grades for non-exchange cross-institutional study
    • Calculation of your selection GPA does not include:
  • units studied as part of an incomplete degree, except where some or all units contribute advanced standing toward a completed degree
  • unit advanced standing based on vocational-level study (e.g. TAFE or vocational diploma)
  • ungraded passes (note that ungraded fails are included and counted as zero)
  • unit grades for formal overseas student exchange studies


    • *completed courses includes qualifications due to be complete prior to 31 December the year before admission. Applicants with incomplete qualifications may be issued a conditional offer subject to achieving the required selection GPA.
    ** a unit grade can only be used once within the selection GPA calculation and cannot be double-counted. This means that advanced standing is normally only included when advanced standing is based on units that are undertaken as part of incomplete degree studies.

    Selection GPA vs Course Transcript GPA

    Your selection GPA may differ from your course transcript GPA due to advanced standing or if you hold more than one completed degree or degrees from different institutions.

    Concession Scheme - Removal of four lowest grades

    If your selection GPA is below the requirement of 5.50, your selection GPA will be recalculated by removing the four lowest grades. The minimum level of study to be used to calculate your selection GPA is 12 units (1.5 FTE).

    Your selection GPA will not be recalculated if your selection GPA is above the requirement for the applicable admission pathway.

    Removal of the four lowest grades from the selection GPA will not alter fee category eligibility. Rankings for commonwealth-supported places will be based on the full selection GPA with all results included.

    Please note the Concession scheme will not be applied for the Alternative Experience pathway if the selection GPA is below 5.0.

    Weighting of degrees Your combined selection GPA is weighted according to the standard full-time duration of your completed degrees. Unit credit points are standardised across institutions based on equivalent full-time study load (EFTSL) completed in-degree. For example, if an applicant has completed:
  • UWA Bachelor's degree (3-year EFTSL, 144 credit points), with a course GPA of 5.50
  • UWA Graduate Diploma (1-year EFTSL, 48 credit points), with a course GPA of 6.00
    • Their GPA will be calculated as follows: 5.50 x 3 years EFTSL = 16.5
    6.00 x 1 year EFTSL = 6
    (weighted GPA 16.5 + 6 = 22.5) / (total EFTSL 3 + 1 = 4) = 5.625.

    The combined selection GPA would be 5.63 (rounded to two decimal places).

    Ph.D. or Master by Research degree calculation Applicants who hold a completed Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) are automatically awarded a selection GPA of 7.00.
    Applicants who hold a Master by Research will have a bonus of 0.20 applied to the GPA calculation, however, the course itself will not be included in the GPA calculation.
    Ranking and Selection Process
    Where relevant, admission will be awarded to the highest ranked applicants or applicants selected based on-
    (a) for indigenous applicants under Rule 4(2) (b), or (c):
    (i) the admission requirements under Rule 4(2) (b), or (c);
    and
    (ii) the indigenous student quota of up to 20 per year;
    (b) for applicants in the Equity and Diversity Pathway:
    (i) the admission requirements under 4.(3) (a), (b) and (c); and
    (ii) the Equity and Diversity Pathway quota of 20 per year;
    or
    (c) for applicants who do not have a place in a Direct Pathway into this course and are not transferring from another Juris Doctor course:
    (i) the admission requirements under Rule 4(1); and
    (ii) the intake quota for that year.
