6. Credits, Grading and GPA
Credits
University of Technology is following the Bologna Process with the European Credit Transfer System
(ECTS) credit system. The total degree program number of ECTS is 240, 30 ECTS per semester. 1 ECTS
is equivalent to 25 hrs student workload, including structured and unstructured workload.
Grading
Before the evaluation, the results are divided into two subgroups: pass and fail. Therefore, the results
are independent of the students who failed a course. The grading system is defined as follows:

GRADING SCHEME

‫مخطط الدرجات‬
Group Grade ‫التقدير‬ Marks (%) Definition

A - Excellent ‫امتياز‬ 90 - 100 Outstanding Performance

Success B - Very Good ‫جيد جدا‬ 80 - 89 Above average with some errors
Group C - Good ‫جيد‬ 70 - 79 Sound work with notable errors
(50 - 100) D - Satisfactory ‫متوسط‬ 60 - 69 Fair but with major shortcomings

E - Sufficient ‫مقبول‬ 50 - 59 Work meets minimum criteria

Fail Group FX – Fail ‫ قيد المعالجة‬- ‫راسب‬ (45-49) More work required but credit awarded

(0 – 49) F – Fail ‫راسب‬ (0-44) Considerable amount of work required

Note:

Number Decimal places above or below 0.5 will be rounded to the higher or lower full mark (for example a
mark of 54.5 will be rounded to 55, whereas a mark of 54.4 will be rounded to 54. The University has a policy
NOT to condone "near-pass fails" so the only adjustment to marks awarded by the original marker(s) will be the
automatic rounding outlined above.

Calculation of the Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA)

1. The CGPA is calculated by the summation of each module score multiplied by its ECTS,
all are divided by the program total ECTS.
CGPA of a 4-year B.Sc. degree:
CGPA = [ (1st module score x ECTS) + (2nd module score x ECTS) + ……] / 240
