Assessment & Grading System
The College of Engineering and Technology adopts a continuous
The College of Engineering and Technology adopts a continuous assessment system. Marks are distributed along the semester as follows: 30% of the grade is declared after the 7th week of class. Another 20% after the 12th week of class and 10% is awarded based on the student attendance, participation and assignments submission. The final exam is worth 40% of the grade. Students can check their grades through the website using their assigned registration number and pin code. The letters A, B, C, D, F, I, and W are used as follows:
A, B, and C, are passing grades. D is conditional passing grade, which is not counted as passing grades unless the student achieves the proper accumulative Grade Point Average for these registered credit hours. If he fails to do so, he shall have to repeat the courses with grade D to raise his GPA. This is to be arranged with his Academic Advisor.
If a student fails to attend the final exam without excuse, his final Exam`s mark shall be zero.
A student`s grade point average (GPA) is computed by dividing the total number of grade points accumulated by the total number of semester hours attempted.
General Grade
Course grades are set according to the following scheme:
| Letter Grades | Points Numbers | Percentage | Letter Grades | Points Numbers | Percentage |
| A+ | 4.00 | A+ >= 97 | C+ | 2.30 | 73 <= C+ < 76 |
| A | 3.85 | 93 <= A < 97 | C | 2.00 | 70 <= C < 73 |
| A- | 3.70 | 89 <= A -< 93 | C- | 1.70 | 67<= C- < 70 |
| B+ | 3.30 | 84 <= B+ < 89 | D+ | 1.30 | 64 <= D+ < 67 |
| B | 3.00 | 80 <= B < 84 | D | 1.00 | 60 <= D < 64 |
| B- | 2.70 | 76 <= B- < 80 | F | 0.00 | F<60 |
Graduation requirements
To be qualified for Bachelor of Science in Engineering the candidate must:
Academic Advisor
Students are expected to attend every class session. Each instructor will maintain current records and will, upon request, furnish an accurate report of any student`s attendance pattern to the Registration Office. Attendance is checked from the first class meeting therefore, late registrants will have some absences when they first meet a class.
When students are absent, for any reason, they are still responsible for the content of the missed lecture and for any assignments. If the absence causes the student to miss a major examination: that examination may be made up if the instructor is convinced that the absence was justified.
Attendance record is a legitimate part of the criteria, which the instructor may use in assigning a grade for the courses. It is the responsibility of students to be aware of the attendance policies for their classes.
After the student has missed over 15% of class, the student will be asked to withdraw from the course and a grade of `W` will be entered.
In case of illness or other forcing circumstances, absence may reach 20% without forcing withdrawal.
Students withdrawing from study during a semester must fill out a withdrawal permit have it properly executed by the Registrar in order to leave a clear record. A student completing this process before the beginning of the final examination period will have a `W` record on the permanent record. A student who withdraws without following this required procedure will be awarded an `F`. Students cannot officially withdraw from study after the last day of classes prior to final examinations or while under disciplinary investigation.
Probation
Students are placed on academic probation if their accumulative GPA is less than 2.00 at the end of any semester on the credits hours attempted at the Academy.
