GRADE AND POINT VALUE SYSTEM

1.0 Grade Point Value System

Students’ achievement in any particular subject is reflected in the grade obtained. The relationship between

marks, grade and the point value is shown in the table below:

Marks Grade Point Value

90 – 100 A+ 4.00

80 – 89 A 4.00

75 – 79 A- 3.67

70 – 74 B+ 3.33

65 – 69 B 3.00

60 – 64 B- 2.67

55 – 59 C+ 2.33

50 – 54 C 2.00

45 – 49 C- 1.67

40 – 44 D+ 1.33

35 – 39 D 1.00

30 – 34 D- 0.67

00 – 29 E 0.00

2.0 Calculation of GPA, CPA and Academic Standing

The students’ academic standing is based on GPA (Grade Point Average) and CPA (Credit Point Average)

calculated based on their achievement in all registered courses in any particular semester. Each grade is

changed to point based on the formulation below:

Point = Course credit x Point value GPA (Grade Point Average) = Total Points Total credit for the particular semester CPA (Cumulative Point Average) = Total points as a whole Total credit as a whole

82

The students’ academic standing for any particular semester is measured based on GPA, while their standing

as a whole is based on CPA which also determines the status of standing, whether Good Standing (Kedudukan

Baik - KB), Probationary Standing (Kedudukan Bersyarat - KS) or Failure Standing (Kedudukan Gagal - KG) based

on the following guidelines:

3.0 Academic Standing

Academic Standing CPA

Good Standing

(Kedudukan Baik - KB) CPA > 2.00

Probationary Standing

(Kedudukan Bersyarat - KS) 1.70 < CPA < 2.00

Failure Standing

(Kedudukan Gagal - KG) CPA < 1.70

An example of academic standing is as follows (Cumulative Point Average)

Semester GPA CPA Academic Standing

I 3.82 3.82 Good Standing

(Kedudukan Baik - KB)
