Diploma assessment

Your subject materials and assessments are on Canvas, our Learning Management System. It’s also where you’ll submit assessments, complete group work, receive grades, receive feedback, and communicate with your teachers outside of class.  

Login to Canvas and enter your UTS email address and password. 

Here are some of the ways you can get help with your assessments: 

• Peer Helpers in class 

• Peer Tutors 

• Learning support workshops. 

 For more information about the Learning Support Program workshops and Peer Tutors, email AdvisersDiploma@utscollege.edu.au. Your Academic Coordinators are also available for weekly drop-in sessions and online help. 

General dates for tests, quizzes, final exams, result publication, appeals and final-stage supplementary exams are set ahead of time. You’ll receive an email with your exam timetable and details of your online exams before your examination period, on Monday of Week 8.  

Refer to the Academic Calendar information. 

Contact exams@utscollege.edu.au if you have any questions about your exam dates or exam timetable. 

Your Grade Point Average (GPA) is the average of all your grades in all subjects. Fail grades are included in the GPA calculation even if you subsequently repeat and pass that subject. 

GPA Table 

Diploma program GPAs are calculated using a 7-point GPA scale. 

GPA Formula and Calculation

GPA = [Subject1 GP x CP) + (Subject2 GP x CP) + (SubjectN GP x CP)] / (Total CP enrolled)
 
Where:

• Subject GP = the subject's grade point value as per above table
• CP = subject credit points.

   To find out more about GPA calculation, contact the Student Success Advisers or email: exams@utscollege.edu.au.

   Your results will be released on the Semester Results Publication Date.
