When calculating the weighted average, Politecnico takes into account only the credits earned in graded exams (pass-or-fail exams are excluded from this calculation).
The value is calculated as follows:
a) add the products given by the grade of each exam multiplied by its credits;
b) divide a) by the sum of all credits:
(Grade1 x Credits1) + (Grade2 x Credits2) + (Grade n x Credits n)
(Credits 1 + Credits 2 + Credits n)
The number obtained with this formula is the Average grade expressed on a scale of 30.
If you want to obtain the score expressed on a scale of 110: Average grade expressed on a scale of 30 x 110/30
Exams passed with honours do not have an impact on the Average grade.
The Average grade is calculated on ALL the exams with a grade to the second decimal place; there is no rounding. The Average grade is sent to the Graduation Examining Committee.
