calculation of the GPA and the CGPA for the semester concerned. However,
courses with these grades shall not be given any credit hour values. The grade
UW shall be converted to grade F at the end of the semester concerned and be
taken into account in the determination of the GPA and CGPA.

GPA and CGPA when the final grade for that course is obtained in the following
semester concerned.

determination of the GPA and CGPA.

K and S. No credit hour values shall be given for courses with Grades C-, D+,
D, F, R, U, UW, W, W1 and W2. For courses that must be passed with at least

least Grade B for the courses concerned.

Courses with Grades I and P shall be given the credit hour values when the final
grades for the courses other than Grades C-, D+, D, F and U, are obtained in the
following semester.

(vii) Where a candidate has repeated a course, the mark and grade that are taken
into account in the determination of the CGPA shall be the better mark and
