General Weighted Average or GWA is a numerical representation of a student's overall academic performance. Unlike a regular average, GWA considers both grades and subject units, making it more accurate for evaluating academic standing.
The standard computation formula used by many Philippine universities is:
:contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}Each subject grade is multiplied by its corresponding number of units. The total weighted grades are then divided by the total number of units taken.
| Subject | Grade | Units |
|---|---|---|
| Mathematics | 1.75 | 3 |
| English | 2.00 | 3 |
| Science | 1.50 | 4 |
Weighted Total = 17.25
Total Units = 10
Final GWA = 1.73
| Grade | Meaning |
|---|---|
| 1.00 | Excellent |
| 1.25 – 1.75 | Very Good |
| 2.00 – 2.75 | Satisfactory |
| 3.00 | Passing |
| 5.00 | Failed |
Tracking your GWA regularly helps students stay aware of academic performance and eligibility for scholarships, dean’s list recognition, retention policies, and Latin honors such as Cum Laude or Magna Cum Laude.
