Namibia Grading System Calculator
Calculate your results using Namibia’s official percentage‑based classifications. Verify your university’s grading rules for accuracy.
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.
- Marks awarded: Each course graded as percentage (0–100).
- Credit weighting: Each module has credit value.
- Weighted Mark: Module Mark × Module Credits.
- Final Average: Σ(Weighted Marks) ÷ Σ(Module Credits).
- Degree classification: From final weighted average.
| Final Average (%) | Degree Classification |

| 75–100 | First Class |
| 70–74 | Upper Second Class (2.1) |
| 60–69 | Lower Second Class (2.2) |
