The GPA system is used for the calculation of grades. In order to graduate, students are required to not only earn credits, but also to attain a certain level of academic achievement. In the unfortunate event where a student is unable to meet such criteria, typically within the first four (4) semesters or two (2) years, they are advised to voluntarily withdraw from the University.
GPA is the average value of grade points per unit course registered during the course of a semester. It is calculated using the formula given below:
Total of “Acquired grade points” of all subjects: A
Total number of credits for all courses registered: B
GPA = A ÷ B
Here, the “Acquired grade points” is (number of credits of the subject) x (grade points obtained in the subject).
The cumulative GPA for graduation requirements is calculated as follows:
Total of “Acquired grade points” of all subjects: A
Total number of credits for all courses registered: B
Cumulative GPA = [Sum of [A for each semester]] ÷ [Sum of [B for each semester]
Please note that for GPA calculation, the following are observed:
- Values are rounded off to three decimal places.
- In the calculation of the cumulative GPA, only the most recent credits and/or points received for any registered course(s) are used. That is, any credits/points earned previously on the course will be discarded.
