Working out your Law Honours grade point average

Law Honours Grade Point Average Calculated as Follows:

• All Law units are to be counted except units completed on exchange and the zero credit point dispute resolution units.

MLL010 Moot
MLL020 Mediation
MLL030 Arbitration
MLL040 Witness Examination

• All attempts are to be counted, eg: if a student fails a unit three times then the attempt must be counted three times.

• Withdrawn Fail ‘WN’ is to be counted as 0

• Failure, not assessed ‘XN’ is to be counted as 0

•  NB: MLL401 Legal Project is worth two credit points so must be counted twice. This means that if the student received a mark of 96 for MLL401 then you would add 96 twice into your calculation; be sure to add an extra credit point when dividing the total LLB marks.

• If no numerical grade appears, use middle point of the grade as follows:

     P = 55% C = 65% D = 75% HD = 85%

• All Deakin Law unit attempts* should be added together and then divided by the number of completed law units to arrive at a total. For eg: Total marks = 1560, divided by 24 units completed = 65%

* Do not include Cross-Institutional or Study Abroad units
