Weighted-average formula
Each numerical grade is multiplied by its course units. Those products are added together and divided by the total included units.
Σ (grade × units) ÷ Σ included units
University presets

Frequently asked questions
How is GWA computed in the Philippines?
Each numerical grade is multiplied by its course units. Those products are added together and divided by the total included units: Σ (grade × units) ÷ Σ included units.
Which grades are included in the GWA?
Only numerical grades with valid units are included. Dropped, withdrawn, or non-credit marks are excluded, while unresolved marks such as Incomplete prevent a final result until resolved.
Is this an official GWA?
No. Kwenta is an estimate based on published grading policies. Registrars may apply additional curriculum, residency, repetition, or academic-honor rules, so always confirm with your official records.
Where do the university presets come from?
Each preset is verified against an official source such as a student handbook or registrar page. Every calculator page lists its source and the date it was last checked.
Limitations
The result is an estimate. Registrars may apply additional curriculum, residency, repetition, or academic-honor policies that are outside the calculator.
