VUW GPA Grades

The VUW GPA Grades are computed on a semester-by-semester basis. The formula for calculating the GPA grade is the following:

1. A+ = Excellent performance in all respects.

• Percentage = 85–100%.
•  Mid-point = 92.5.

2. A = Excellent performance in almost all respects.

• Percentage = 80–84%.
• Mid-point = 82.

3. A- = Very good, some aspects excellent but others not

• Percentage = 75–79%.
• Mid-point = 77.

4. B+ = Very good, some aspects excellent but others not.

• Percentage = 70–74%.
• Mid-point = 72.

5. B = Good performance overall.

• Percentage = 65–69%.
• Mid-point = 67.

6. B- = Good performance overall.

• Percentage = 60–64%.
• Mid-point = 62.

7. C+ = Work satisfactory overall, strengths outweigh weaknesses.

• Percentage = 55–59%.
• Mid point = 57.

8. C =  Work satisfactory overall, strengths outweigh weaknesses.

• Percentage = 50–54%.
• Mid-point = 52.

9. D = Poor performance overall, weaknesses outweigh strengths.

• Percentage = 40–49%.
• Mid-point = 45.

10. E = Well below the standard required.

        Percentage = 0–39%.

The CGPA is calculated at the end of two (2) or more semesters.

B+ is equivalent to 87% to 89%. It’s also equivalent to a 3.3 GPA. Because it indicates good performance, B+ students are Second Class Upper and have good chances of making first-class if the student intensifies their effort.

A VUW student who has failed the same course on two occasions will not normally be permitted to enroll again for that course. A further enrolment requires the permission of the relevant Associate Dean.

If you want to drop your degree or major VUW, you’ll need a Course Add/Drop form from the Faculty Student success team. You should discuss your options first with a Student Advise.
