How is the percentage calculated for my Singapore diploma which is an 8 plus 6 year program?
It depends on your institution’s grading system. In Singapore, most diplomas use a Grade Point Average (GPA) system, where each grade is assigned a grade point. Your GPA is calculated by multiplying each grade point by the credit units for each module, summing these, and dividing by the total credit units. Some institutions provide a formula to convert GPA to percentage.
For programs split into segments (like 8 plus 6 years), the calculation may combine or weight each segment differently, based on your institution’s guidelines.
For exact details on your percentage calculation, please contact your institution’s academic office or refer to their handbook.
