Overview

GWA (General Weighted Average) is used in Philippine universities. Similar to GPA but uses percentage grades (1.0-5.0 scale, where 1.0 is best). Calculation weights grades by unit/credit hours.

💡

Pro Tips

1.0 = excellent (97-100%), 5.0 = failing (below 60%).
Lower GWA is better (1.0-1.75 = Dean's Lister).
Dropped subjects (WD) don't affect GWA.
Failed subjects (5.0) significantly impact GWA.

Fun Facts

"1.0-1.75 GWA qualifies for Dean's List recognition."
"1.50 or better required for Latin honors consideration."
"Most graduate programs require 2.0 or better GWA."
"Philippine scale inverted: lower number = better grade."

Formula: GWA = Σ(Grade × Units) / Total Units
