Classification Calculator
Our classification calculator is a downloadable Excel spreadsheet which you can use to estimate your final degree classification.
**These calculators are in the process of being updated to reflect new degree classification regulations that will be implemented in 2025. The updated calculators will be posted here as soon as they are ready. Please bear with us during this transition period.**
The calculator will tell you your average grade per year and your final overall average.
Please note the classification calculator is for guidance only. There is no guarantee that the classification you will calculate by this method is the one which will be finally awarded. All marks and classifications must be confirmed by the Progression and Award Boards on behalf of Senate before they become final.
For more information, see the Ordinance documents available on the University Ordinances webpage and Academic Regulations webpage.
If you are having problems downloading or using the classification calculator you can contact the Assessment & Progress Team via the email address: Examinations@leeds.ac.uk.
