My uni didn't provide me with the CGPA.  Our grades are High Distinction, Distinction, Credit, Pass, Fail.  On the results, it's written as DI, D, C, P, F.  Should I calculate my own CGPA?  HR might take a look at the results then toss my resume into the bin when they see so many Ds...

Which uni are you in? Im in UniSA they also use HD,D,C,P1,P2,F1,F2.
and im afraid the HR people rate me as a C graduate as in ABCDE format though C in my uni is 65%-75% range or a (B).
But i guess we just write a note or attach the explanation of each grade and percentile in the CV.

An addition also for those in Australian programs, though you have repeated a course and get Credit (5.0 points) if you failed earlier with Fail 2 (1.0 points)
they will calculate as (5.0+1.0)/2= 3.0(Pass 2) out of 7(High Distinction) for one course. I have failed 4 and it lowers at least 0.2 CGPA, not much
but thinking about it, damage is done, i cant reverse it even if the future courses i get good distinction or credit.
