Final grade

How it's calculated

Each grade is multiplied by its weight (in percent). The sum of these weighted values is then divided by the sum of all weights — that gives you the weighted average grade.

Final grade = Σ (grade × weight) / Σ weight

Example: a term paper graded 1.7 worth 40% of the final grade, and an exam graded 2.3 worth 60%, gives (1.7 × 40 + 2.3 × 60) / 100 = 2.06.

Some examination regulations round the calculated result to fixed grade steps (1.0 / 1.3 / 1.7 …) at the end. If in doubt, check your university's specific rules.
