You're an international student if you are not an Australian or New Zealand citizen, you're not an Australian permanent resident or you don't hold a permanent Australian humanitarian visa.

Select the institution where you completed your degree. This list includes only university level institutions.

If you cannot find your institute within the list you will not be able to use the Grade Conversion Eligibility Calculator.

The Grade Conversion Eligibility Calculator is able to be used for students who have achieved their results in either of the below grading systems:

• Percentage-Based System uses a 100% scale to grade student performance where scores will be between 0 and 100. Systems can have varying minimum pass marks.
• Grade Point Average (GPA) is a number that represents the average of your grades achieved throughout a single degree, divided by the total number of credits taken. There are many GPA grading scales (e.g. 4.0, 4.3, 5.0, 10, 20 etc). Systems can have varying minimum pass marks. GPA systems where 1 is high (reverse GPA) are not able to be used in the Grade Conversion Eligibility Calculator.

If your grading scale is not within the above you will not be able to use the Grade Conversion Calculator.

Sponsored students are international students who receive funding to study at the University of Melbourne from an approved sponsoring authority, such as the Australian government, foreign entities or state-owned enterprises and multilateral or regional organisations. Sponsorship can cover tuition and living expenses, depending on the agreement.

You are considered a current University of Melbourne student if you are:

• A currently enrolled student at the University of Melbourne, or
• A previous student who has completed studies within the last 12 months.

The WAM provides an overall indication of your academic performance in your course. The WAM reflects the numeric mark (eg 45%, 87%) and the number of credit points (eg 25 points) for each subject you complete. It is calculated progressively as your subject results are certified and added in my.unimelb..

A maximum GPA is the highest possible grade that can be achieved at your institution.

A pass mark is the minimum level of achievement required to complete a subject or course successfully. If your pass mark on your transcript indicates a band of scores, please select the lowest score within the band.

Your University of Melbourne equivalent score is calculated by comparing your previous study to an Australian university qualification standard, providing an initial comparison to our own grade scale.

To determine the University of Melbourne equivalent score we look at your academic record and calculate the equivalent score based on the following factors:

• Your transcript includes grades (including fails and withdrawals).
• Minimum and maximum passing grades at your previous institution.
• The international standing of the University you have received your degree(s) from.
• Your likelihood to succeed based on your academic background.
• Australian Government guidelines which recognise and assess international universities and educational institutions.

Differences in grades

Grades gained from previous tertiary study do not always equal the same grade on the University of Melbourne grade scale due to differences in grading conventions. As a result, the outcome of our University of Melbourne equivalent score may differ from your previous tertiary education.

A Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP) is an enrolment at the University of Melbourne which is subsidised by the Commonwealth Government. CSPs at the University of Melbourne are available to eligible students in undergraduate and some graduate coursework courses.

Eligibility is assessed using an overall score calculated using results for all completed subjects within a degree.

This includes subjects for which you gained a failing score or grade. Do not include any subjects for which there are no scores, or where only a non-scoring pass or fail is possible.

If you have not completed your studies, enter the score you have currently achieved to receive an indication of your eligibility.

Eligibility is assessed using scores achieved in relevant discipline subjects at third year level (or equivalent). This includes subjects for which you gained a failing score or grade.

Relevant discipline subjects refer to the area of study (major) required for entry into the course and will be assessed at University of Melbourne 3rd year level equivalent standards. This can include subjects from both 3rd and 4th year levels.

If you have not completed your studies, enter the score achieved in relevant major/discipline subjects in your most recent year of studies to receive an indication of your eligibility.

Eligibility is assessed using an average score for all subjects completed in your final year of study (or equivalent).

This includes subjects for which you gain a failing score or grade. Do not include any subjects for which there are no scores, or where a non-scoring pass or fail is possible.

If you have not completed your studies, enter the score for your most recent year of studies to receive an indication of your eligibility.

Eligibility is assessed using scores achieved in all relevant discipline/major subjects. This includes subjects for which you gain a failing score or grade. Weighting of subject scores can vary by course, check course entry requirements for more information.

Entry into some graduate course require completion of a relevant undergraduate major. A major refers to a concentration of subjects that equips you with specialised knowledge in a specific field of study.

If you have not completed your studies, enter the score achieved in relevant major/discipline subjects you have already completed to receive an indication of your eligibility.
