Article 27
If courses of a research nature require more than one semester to complete, the grade of
IP is assigned to the student. After the completion of the course, the student will be given
the grade he/she has earned. If he/she fails to complete the course within the specified
time, the department council that offers the course may approve assigning an IC grade to
the student’s record for this course.

Article 28

The grades earned by students in each course are calculated as follows:
Grade GPA
Percentage Grade code
Significance (out of 4.0)
95 – 100 Exceptional A+ 4.00
90 – 94 Excellent A 3.75
85 – 89 Superior B+ 3.50
80 – 84 Very Good B 3.00
75 – 79 Above Average C+ 2.50
70 – 74 Good C 2.00
65 – 69 High Pass D+ 1.50
60 – 64 Pass D 1.00
Less than 60 Fail F 0.00

The Rules of Implementation for Article 28
1. Students’ scores are classified according to the above nine levels, and the final
grades are calculated on the basis of this classification. The course instructor may
take into consideration both the grade average and the standard deviation in
determining the students’ final scores that reflect their achievement in the course.
The Admission and Registration Deanship will be informed of students’ final
grades, according to the forms prepared for this purpose.

2. Students who attend a course as auditors will receive the grade AU, regardless of
their performance in the course. The effect of this grade on the student’s semester
and cumulative GPA is the same as the grade NP (No Grade–Pass). The
instructor must notify the Admission and Registration Deanship if a student is
absent for more than one-third of the classes, in which case the course will be
eliminated from his/her record.

3. The grades NP or F are assigned to courses offered on a pass/fail basis, such as
thesis and summer training programs.

4. A student is assigned the grade WP when he/she officially withdraws from all
courses after the permitted deadline for withdrawal. Such a grade will be granted
upon the instructor’s confirmation that the student’s performance was satisfactory
and that his/her unexcused absences did not exceed 20 percent of the lectures and
