How to Calculate Your UNAM Promedio
UNAM grades on a 0 to 10 scale (escala 0 a 10) where 10 is Excelente and 6.0 is the minimum passing calificacion. The promedio is the credit-weighted average of each materia's calificacion. On the standard Mexican-to-US reference, a 9.5 to 10 maps near a 4.0, 8.0 to 8.9 (Bien) near a 3.0, and 6.0 (the pass floor) near a 1.0 to 2.0.
The calculator above is set to the 0 to 10 scale for Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico. Enter each materia with its credit value and calificacion; the promedio is the credit-weighted average. The tool also shows a US 4.0 equivalent for graduate-school, exchange, or transfer applications abroad. For the full two-mode tool covering every Mexican system, see the Mexican GPA calculator hub.
Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico Grading and Standing
UNAM requires a 6.0 to pass each materia, and students who fail can sit extraordinary exams (examenes extraordinarios) to clear a subject. Titulacion por promedio (graduation by high average) is available to students with a sufficiently high promedio, commonly 9.0 or above, depending on the faculty. Confirm the exact promedio threshold and titulacion rules with your facultad at UNAM.
What makes UNAM distinctive: UNAM is one of the largest universities in Latin America and offers titulacion por promedio, where a high enough promedio (often 9.0 or above) lets a student graduate without a separate thesis or exam. Confirm your faculty's threshold.
