An Official Statement of Academic Record is a certified statement detailing your academic record at UniSC.
It shows each course in which you were enrolled and the results you achieved. It also lists university prizes and graduation details where applicable.

The grading system used at UniSC to calculate the Grade Point Average (GPA) is the 7-point grading scale.
For each student enrolled in a coursework program, the University will calculate a cumulative GPA at the end of each Study Period and will be based upon all courses completed at UniSC as part of the student's Academic Career.
The value for the grade achieved for each course is multiplied by the number of units (study load or weighting) for that course. These weighted grade values are totalled and then divided by the total number of units undertaken in a program (subject to the inclusions and exclusions listed below).
GPA = The sum of G multiplied by U, then divided by T, where:
- G is the grade value achieved in each course; and
- U is the unit value of each course; and
- T is the total unit value of all courses undertaken.
Inclusion of studies in the calculation of the GPA
The following are included in the calculation of the GPA:
(a) all courses where the following formal University grades and grade notations have been awarded:
| Grade | Grade value |
|---|---|
| High Distinction (HD) | 7 |
| Distinction (DN) | 6 |
| Credit (CR) | 5 |
| Pass (PS) | 4 |
| Terminating Pass | 3.5 |
| Fail (FL) | 1.5 |
| Withdrawn – Fail (WF) | 1.5 |
| Fail Absent (FA) | 0.5 |
(b) all grades for completed courses including any failures that have been later redeemed with a passing grade are counted in the calculation.
(c) all grades for specified credit for designated courses, when the original studies were completed at the University.
When a determination needs to be made on which courses and their grades should be included as specified credit transfer, the selection will be based on those that best advantage the student’s GPA.
