Honours program
Working out your Law Honours Grade Point Average (GPA)
Law Honours Grade Point Average is calculated as follows:
All Deakin Law units are counted towards your GPA except units completed on Exchange, Study Abroad, Cross Institutional and the zero credit point Practical Legal Skills units.
MLL010 Moot
MLL020 Mediation
MLL030 Arbitration
MLL040 Witness Examination
Note:
- 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- Withdrawn Fail ‘WN’ is to be counted as 0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
- Note: 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 Law GPA. For eg: Total marks = 1560 divided by 24 units completed = 65%
* Do not include Cross-Institutional or Study Abroad units
Please note: no rounding up is done for Honours calculations eg 64.686 will not be rounded up to 65.
