Grading System

Academic performance in a given course is based on continuous assessment. There are two major examinations, which are written: the mid-term and final examination. In between, there are multiple sets of other assessments taken throughout the semester, including but not limited to quizzes, in-class evaluations, assignments, case studies, etc. Laboratory classes also follow the same evaluation but have practical examinations instead of the written. Each course has a certain number of credit hours. A letter grade with a specified number of grade points are awarded to students, that takes all the assessment scores into consideration. The grade points and their equivalent letter grades are stated below.

*Incomplete grades (I) may be assigned at the end of the semester to students who have not finished their course requirements (attendance, quizzes, assignments, exams, etc.) with passing academic standing. Students must complete the pending requirements for the course within a month of the semester ending. Failure to do so may result in a F grade being awarded to the student for that particular course.
