if you get like 84.70 as the total for a unit, then does it get rounded up to 85?

Well (at USYD at least) it gets rounded to 1 dp. So if you got 84.70 then (at USYD) you'd get 84.7

Wait what.

All of my units get rounded to the nearest whole number (I'm sure this is how it works?)

From my knowledge, you'll get a rounded-off mark for a unit.
For example, you can't get 84.6 for a unit. You'll get 85 (thus, a HD).

However, if your university uses WAM as opposed to GPA, your total average may be to the decimal. E.g. 74.6 WAM (credit) instead of 75 WAM (distinction).

Oh yeah what the hell. I just remember seeing a decimal point so I just assumed they went to 1 dp, but now I just went to check my marks and they all end with .0's. USYD pls.

So I guess yeah, it will get rounded up to 85 from an 84.70.

I've only received whole numbers for overall unit marks from Macquarie, so I assume they round up.
