    The document discusses how grade point averages (GPA) and cumulative grade point averages (CGPA) are calculated. A GPA is calculated each semester based on the letter grades and credit hours for courses. A CGPA takes into account the GPA from all semesters. The document provides the formula for calculating GPA based on multiplying the grade value by credit hours and dividing by total credits. It also defines different statuses for academic dismissal based on a student's CGPA and previous academic performance.

    CALCULATING GRADE POINT AVERAGE

    The final examination results and assessments at the end of every semester are assigned a
    Grade Point Average (GPA) and a Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) which represent
    a student’s academic achievement.

    A Grade Point Average (GPA) refers to the calculated average of the letter grades a student
    earns in each semester following a 0 to 4.0 scale.

    Table 1: GPA Calculation

    Letter Grade Percent Grade 4.0 Scale

    A+ 90-100 4.00

    A 80-89 4.00

    A- 75-79 3.67

    B+ 70-74 3.33

    B 65-69 3.00

    B- 60-64 2.67

    C+ 55-59 2.33

    C 50-54 2.00

    C- 47-49 1.67

    D+ 44-46 1.33

    D 40-43 1.00

    E 30-39 0.67

    F 0-29 0.00

    Every semester, students receive a GPA based on the grades they earned in all their courses
    during that semester. The formula used for the calculations of the Grade Point Average
    (GPA) is as follows:
    GPA = The total credit values registered and attempted in the assessment of a semester
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    The total credit units acquired in the same semester

    To find GPA weighted by credit hours, follow these steps:

    1. Multiply each numeric grade value by the number of credits the course was worth.
    2. Add these numbers together.
    3. Divide by the total number of credits you took.
    = (3.67 x 3) + (3.33 x 2)
    4. Your GPA= 3.53.
    -----------
    -
    3+2

    = 11.01 + 6.66
    ------------
    5

    = 3.53

    Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) refers to the overall GPA, which includes dividing
    the number of quality points earned in all courses attempted by the total credit hours in all
    attempted courses.

    CGPA = The total credit values registered and attempted in the assessment of all semesters
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    The total credit units acquired in all semesters

    FAILURE AND DISMISSAL
