Course Grading System and Degree Classification
Grade Point Average (GPA)
The GPA is an indicator of a student’s performance at the end of a semester. The GPA is
obtained by multiplying the GP attained in each course by the number of units assigned
to that course, and then summing these up and dividing by the total number of units
taken for the semester.
Failed courses should be used only once for computation. Subsequent failures in the
same course should not be reflected or used until the student finally passes the course.
Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA)
The CGPA is an indication of a student’s performance at any point in his programme of
study. The CGPA is obtained by multiplying the GP obtained in each course by the
number of units assigned to that course, and then summing these up and dividing by
the total number of units registered by the student up to that particular point.
The final CGPA is obtained after the student must have completed his study. It determines the degree classification of a student. All computations of the GPA and CGPA are rounded to two decimal places.
Classification of Degree
The degree classification is done on the basis of a student’s CGPA at the end of his programme of study as follows:
CGPA Class of Degree
4.50 5.00 First Class
3.50 -4.49 Second Class Upper Division
2.40 3.49 Second Class Lower Division
1.502.39 Third Class
1.00 1.49 Pass
