The cumulative GPA is calculated by multiplying the grade points earned in each course by its credit hours, then dividing the total of these products by the total credit hours attempted.
Grade Adjustment
The course instructor may submit a request to adjust a student’s final grade after the final grades have been announced, if an error occurred in recording or calculating the grade. The request is reviewed by a committee at the college level and recommended to the relevant Dean for approval, then forwarded to the Admissions & Registration Office.
Requests are reviewed by the Student Affairs Committee, which verifies the procedures and informs the Admissions & Registration Office of its decision. The office then notifies both the concerned college and the student of the committee’s decision.
Grade adjustment requests cannot be submitted after the deadline announced via email.
Incomplete Grade
A student may receive an Incomplete grade if they are unable to complete course requirements or miss the final exam with an acceptable excuse.
The student must contact the course instructor and submit supporting documentation or a medical report before the final grade submission deadline.
If the excuse is submitted after the final grade submission deadline, it must be submitted to the Admissions & Registration Office, which will forward the request to the relevant college for the instructor’s decision. If the excuse is accepted, the instructor will submit a grade change request.
If the instructor approves the excuse, an Incomplete grade will be recorded, and the instructor must coordinate with the student to conduct the make-up exam during the first week of the following semester (Fall or Spring). The Incomplete grade change request must be submitted on the first day of the second week (Fall or Spring), except for graduating students.
If the Incomplete grade is not changed after the deadline, it will be converted to a failing grade “F”.
The student may appeal the instructor’s decision to the Dean within 10 working days. If the Dean rejects the excuse, the student may appeal to the Vice President for Student Affairs within 10 working days.
