Interpretation and Application of Letter Grades

Disqualification:
A grade Z denotes Disqualification from an examination as a result of an examination malpractice or offence, and shall be awarded whenever it is established that a candidate had attempted to gain an unfair advantage in an examination. A candidate awarded a grade Z may be debarred from taking a College examination for a stated period, or indefinitely, or may be expelled from the College or programme altogether.
NOTE: A grade Z may be awarded only by the Quality Assurance Committee
Non-completion of Course:
A grade I (for Incomplete) shall be awarded to a student who is unable to complete a course for reasons adjudged by the Academic Board as satisfactory. Such a student shall be expected to complete the course the next time it is available.
The Incomplete must be rectified within three (3) weeks after commencement of the next semester otherwise the Incomplete elapses to the next grade (“F”).
Weighted Mark
For each (letter) Grade there is a corresponding weight as indicated above. The weight earned by a candidate for each course completed is computed as the product of the number of credits (credit units) for the subject and the % marks obtained in the subject.
Weighted Average (WA)
The Weighted Average is obtained by dividing the sum of the weights obtained by the total number of credits (credit units) of subjects registered. A candidate does not earn the credits for a failed course even though the credit units for the course are used in computing the WA.
Cumulative Weighted Average (CWA)
A student’s cumulative weighted average is calculated by dividing the total number of weights obtained, up to any specified time, by the total number of credits for all courses/subjects for which the candidate has registered.
Final Weighted Average (FWA)
The FWA is the CWA for all courses for which the candidate has registered up to the end of the academic programme.
