• UKZN 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.
• Results are expressed as a percentage with a UKZN letter symbol (A–G / Fail).

NOTE:
• UKZN calls courses "modules" — use the credit value from your UKZN transcript.
• The standard module credit at UKZN is 16 credits per semester module.
• 50% is the minimum passing mark per module — below 50% is a fail.
• UKZN does not use a GPA system — your result is a weighted percentage and letter symbol.
