The purpose of the CSE Weighted Average Mark (WAM) is to assist the School in making a recommendation for honours at the end of a students Bachelor of Engineering degree. Please note that Bachelor of Science (CompSci) students are required to enrol in and complete an additional year to be considered for honours.
A students final WAM is not calculated until they have completed all degree requirements, including Industrial Training, however a progress WAM will normally be emailed to students at the end of each semester.
The CSE WAM is computed automatically from the results in the courses in a students program - there are NO choices to be made, either by the student or CSE Staff (eg. choosing to exclude some results or include others that are not normally included). Only a limited amount of time will be spent explaining the process to those who enquire, and the CSE Weighted Average Mark will be the only calculation considered by the Honours Committee.
The myUNSW WAM is not used to determine honours.
All queries concerning WAM issues should be directed to the CSE Student Office Manager.
