Pass/ fail units and a grade of DNF or credited units from other institutions are not counted.

I believe it is referring to people that have transferred - if you had transferred to USyd, the marks from other unis won't be counted to your WAM.

Is there a question to this thread? I think the resolution is quite clear and if the whole resolution was quoted the answer is there?

WAMS are used by the University as one indicator of performance. For example, WAMS can be used in assessing admission to and award of honours, eligibility for prizes and scholarships, or assessing progression through a course. The University WAM is calculated using the following formula:


WAM =
sum(Wc x Mc)/Sum(Wc)
where Wc is the unit of study credit points x the unit weighting and Mc is the mark achieved for the unit. The mark used for units with a grade AF and DF is zero. Pass/ fail units and a grade of DNF or credited units from other institutions are not counted.

so they will still count the pass/fail units right?

I am confused about this resolution
