RE: UWI’s Revised Grade Point Average Scheme Starts 2014/2015 Academic Year

A revised Grade Point Average (GPA) scheme will be introduced by The University of the West Indies (UWI) from the beginning of the 2014/2015 academic year.  Changes to the GPA were approved by the Board for Undergraduate Studies in 2011 and The UWI had announced in September 2013 that these changes would take effect in the academic year 2014/2015.

Under the revised GPA scheme, both the overall manner in which assessment of student performance is described and how the grades are represented on the transcripts of undergraduates have been revised.  These are changes to the way in which student performance is reported at The University of the West Indies; they are not changes in the standard of The UWI degree. All new and continuing students across The UWI will be assessed and graded in a manner which is more transparent and in line with international GPA standards. Click here for more details….
