How DUET grades courses
DUET uses a 10-point letter-grade scale from A+ (4.00) to F (0.00), set by the university's Academic Ordinance for Undergraduate Studies. Both semester GPA and cumulative GPA are rounded to two decimal places for reporting.
An 'F' grade earns no credit and no grade points, but stays permanently on the grade sheet and transcript. Non-credit courses are recorded as satisfactory (S) or unsatisfactory (U) and never affect GPA. Project/thesis courses spanning two semesters carry an 'X' grade until finalized.

Repeating courses to improve GPA
A student who earns an 'F' in a core course must repeat it; an 'F' in an optional course may be repeated or replaced with a substitute. A repeated 'F'-graded course is capped at a 'B' on re-take.
A 'D' grade may be repeated for improvement only while cumulative GPA is below 2.20. Once cumulative GPA reaches 2.20 or higher, courses graded 'C' or better can no longer be repeated for grade improvement.

Academic probation and suspension
Good standing requires a semester GPA of at least 2.20 and earned credits of at least 15 times the number of semesters attended. Falling below either threshold, or a cumulative GPA below 2.20, places a student on academic probation for at least one semester (usually one academic year).
A student who fails to bring their GPA back to 2.20 or above within two consecutive academic years of probation may be suspended. A first suspension may be reinstated on petition; a second is final.

Requirements to graduate
A minimum cumulative GPA of 2.20 is required to obtain the B.Sc. Engineering degree, alongside the credit requirements set by each department. Students may take up to 15 additional credits beyond the normal requirement to raise their cumulative GPA.
Students must complete the degree within a maximum of 7 academic years.

Honours, Dean's List, and Gold Medal
Graduates with a cumulative GPA of 3.75 or above receive their Bachelor's degree with Honours. Students who maintain a semester GPA of 3.75 or above with no 'F' grades may be named to the Dean's List for that year.
The University Gold Medal goes to the top-ranked graduate of each department with a cumulative GPA of at least 3.75, no 'F' grades ever, and completion within 4 consecutive academic years.
