What is a course weighted average (CWA)?

UPDATED 30 SEP 2026 | 2:02AM

Your Course Weighted Average (CWA) is the overall percentage mark calculated from all grade and mark units you have completed in a course. This includes units credited as Automatic Credit or Designated Credit.

Your CWA is included on your Academic eRecord and Academic Transcript. Each course you study will have a separate CWA.

For further information on how your CWA is calculated, please see the Assessment and Student Progression Manual.
