• UJ uses a percentage-based weighted average system.
• Enter your final percentage (0–100) and credit value for each module.
• Weighted Average = (Sum of Mark × Credits) ÷ Total Credits.
• UJ does not use a GPA scale — results are expressed as a percentage with a letter symbol.

NOTE:
• UJ does not use a GPA system — results are expressed as a weighted average percentage.
• Distinction is awarded at 80% and above, not 75% as some calculators incorrectly show.
• 1 UJ credit = 10 notional study hours (South African NQF standard).
• Credit values vary by module — check your UJ student portal or module outline.
