NAUB INFORMATIONS ON CGPA

1. Table 1: Grade Point Interpretation

(i) Credit Units	(ii)  Percentage Scores	(iii)  Letter Grades	(iv)  Grade Points (GP)	(v) Grade Point Average (GPA)	(vi) Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA)
This varies according to contact hours assigned to each course per week per semester and according to work load carried by student	70 – 100  60 – 69  50 – 59  45 – 49  40           –               44 0             -                39	A B C D E F	5 4 3 2 1 0	Derived by multiplying (i) and (iv) and dividing by total Credit Units	4.50 – 5.00  3.50 – 4.49  2.40 – 3.49  1.50          –          2.39 1.00  -        1.49 - < - 0.99

11. Degree Classification

This is determined by the Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) earned at the end of the Programme. The Cumulative Grade Point Average is the average of all the earned GPAs. The CGPA shall be used in the determination of the class of degree.

CUMULATIVE GRADE POINT AVERAGE (CGPA)	CLASS OF DEGREE
4.50 – 5.00  3.50 – 4.49  2.40 – 3.49  1.50 – 2.39 1.00 – 1.49 - < - 0.99	First Class Second Class Upper Second Class Lower Third Class Pass Fail

12. Probation and Withdrawal

Guideline 
Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) is used as a guide for assessing students for withdrawal and probation taking into account the Minimum (CGPA) of 1.00 required for graduation.

Probation
Probation is a status granted to the student whose academic performance falls below an acceptable standard. A new student, whose Cumulative Grade point Average is below 1.00 at the end of a year of study, earns a period of probation I for the academic session. Any other student whose Cumulative Grade Point Average falls below 1.00 in any semester earns also probation I. Any student on probation that fails to increase his/her CGPA above 1.00 in the succeeding semester earns probation II.

Repeating Failed Course (s).

Repeating Failed Course(s); Subject to the conditions for withdrawal and probation, student may be allowed to repeat the failed course unit(s) at the next available opportunity, provided that the total number of credit units carried during that semester does not exceed the maximum units allowed, and the Grade Points earned at all attempts shall count towards the CGPA.

Withdrawal
Withdrawal; A candidate whose Cumulative Grade Point Average is below 1.00 at the end of two probation periods shall be required to withdraw from the Programme. At any semester, a student will be required to withdraw if his/her CGPA falls below 0.25.

13. Graduation Requirements

To satisfy the requirements for graduation, a student must take and pass the minimum number of units specified in the Programme before he/she can qualify for the award of a degree in Information Technology. In addition to the above, the student must pass all compulsory General Studies Courses and the Industrial Training Courses and submit a graded project report based on a suitable title approved by the Programme at the end of 400 level. Candidates admitted through UME will require a minimum (including units of industrial attachment) of 175 Units for graduation. Candidates admitted through DE will require a minimum (including units of industrial attachment) of 145 Units for graduation.
