Grading System Overview (Namibia)
Percentage-based with degree classifications—not US-style GPA

Namibian universities primarily use percentage-based grading with degree classifications. UNAM and NUST assess using percentage marks credit-weighted for progression and classification. Credits: "Credits" or "Modules". Pass mark 50%. GPA/CGPA not the national standard.

Step-by-Step Performance Calculation
Credit-weighted percentage average
  1. Marks awarded: Each course graded as percentage (0–100).
  2. Credit weighting: Each module has credit value.
  3. Weighted Mark: Module Mark × Module Credits.
  4. Final Average: Σ(Weighted Marks) ÷ Σ(Module Credits).
  5. Degree classification: From final weighted average.
