Monash University Malaysia GPA Calculator

Monash University Malaysia uses the same global grading schema as every other Monash campus, including its Australian home campuses: five core grades -- High Distinction (HD), Distinction (D), Credit (C), Pass (P), and Fail (N) -- each awarded from a fixed marks band, with no relative or curved grading involved.

Two procedural outcomes sit outside these five bands: Hurdle Fail (NH), awarded when a student would otherwise have passed but did not satisfactorily complete a unit's separate hurdle requirement, and Withdrawn Fail (WN), awarded for withdrawing from a unit after the official withdraw-fail deadline. Neither is a standard achievement band -- both are administrative overrides layered on top of the core grading table.

What's distinctive about Monash Malaysia is not the letter grades themselves, but how they're turned into a running average -- see how CGPA is calculated below.

Students at Monash's Malaysia campus have their academic performance summarised as a Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) -- a calculation used specifically in Malaysia in place of the GPA Monash reports at its Australian campuses. Same letter grades, different value column: Malaysia's CGPA values are not the same numbers as Australia's GPA values for the same letters.

The calculation itself is a straightforward credit-weighted average:

CGPA = (sum of each unit's CGPA value × that unit's credit points) ÷ (total credit points attempted)

Fails and repeats both count. Under normal circumstances, every grade you receive -- including fail grades and grades from any repeated units -- is given a numerical value, and all of those values are averaged into your CGPA. Monash does not drop a failed attempt or replace it with a later, better attempt; both remain part of the running average.

Unlike in Australia, your CGPA does not appear on your official Monash academic transcript. If you need your CGPA confirmed (for a job application or similar), you request a separate CGPA letter from Student Services in Malaysia or Monash Connect.

Monash does not publish a CGPA-to-percentage conversion formula -- there is no official Monash equivalent of a "CGPA × 25" or similar rule.

Monash Malaysia students completing a one-year honours degree, or the embedded-honours component of a four-year-or-more bachelor's honours degree, also receive a separate Honours degree classification for that specific course grade. This classification is not derived from CGPA -- it's computed from the Weighted Average Mark (WAM), a marks-based average calculated to three decimal places rather than the credit-weighted grade-point average used for CGPA.

• H1 -- First Class Honours (WAM 80 to 100)
• H2A -- Second Class Honours, Division A (WAM 70 to under 80)
• H2B -- Second Class Honours, Division B (WAM 60 to under 70)
• Pass grade (WAM 50 to under 60)

A student therefore accumulates an ongoing CGPA throughout their course and separately receives this classification for the honours component when they finish -- the two exist side by side rather than one replacing the other.
