How to Calculate GWA (General Weighted Average)
GWA in the Philippines typically follows a 1.00–5.00 scale where 1.00 is the highest and 3.00 is passing. Your GWA is computed by multiplying each subject’s grade by its units, summing the results, and dividing by total units.
Formula
GWA = Σ(Grade × Units) ÷ Σ(Units)
GWA vs GPA
GWA commonly uses the 1.00–5.00 scale, while GPA often uses a 4.0 scale. If your school publishes both, always follow your registrar’s official equivalences.
Honors and Eligibility
Cutoffs vary by school, but common ranges include Summa (≈1.00–1.25), Magna (≈1.26–1.50), and Cum Laude (≈1.51–1.75). Always check your university handbook.
University-specific Scales
Philippine universities may differ in grade descriptions and notations (Inc., Drp., W). We maintain regional tables for NCR and Region I, and we continue to add more schools.
