Forman Christian College University (FCCU) GPA Calculator

FCCU follows an American-style absolute grading system: each letter grade maps to a fixed numeric percentage band and a grade point on a 4.00 scale. Unlike the HEC uniform scheme used by most Pakistani universities, FCCU sets its top band at 93–100 for an A and its passing floor at 60% for a D — the full letter-to-percentage-to-grade-point mapping is shown in the Grade Scale Reference on this page.

The minimum passing grade is D (60–66%, 1.00 grade points); an F (59% or below) carries 0.00 and earns no credit. An NS (“did not show up in class”) also counts as 0.00.

FCCU reports a semester grade point average and a cumulative grade point average (CGPA) across all completed courses, weighted by credit hours. Administrative grades are handled as follows:

• W (officially withdrawn) and AW (administrative withdrawal / dismissal) do not carry grade points.
• I (incomplete) is temporary; if the outstanding work is not submitted within six weeks of the following semester, the I automatically becomes an F.
• AU (audit / listener) and T (transferred credit) do not count toward the GPA.

A student who receives a D or F in a course may retake it; the better of the two grades is counted and factored into the CGPA. Retaking a course to improve a grade outside that D/F condition is not allowed for CGPA purposes — the second enrollment is recorded as “Academically Withdrawn” (AW) on the transcript.

The minimum CGPA required for Good Academic Standing rises with a student's class level:

A student whose performance falls below these thresholds is placed on Academic Probation, which appears on the transcript and limits them to no more than five courses per semester with mandatory advising. Probation remains in effect until the CGPA meets the required threshold. A student who remains on probation beyond one semester may be dropped; a second drop ends the student's degree at FCCU. No student with a CGPA below 2.0 may compete in officially sanctioned sports.

To earn a bachelor's degree, an FCCU student must complete the prescribed credit hours for their program (a minimum of 124 credit hours for most programs, more for some — e.g. 132 or 205) with a cumulative GPA of at least 2.00 and a major GPA of at least 2.00. Students are expected to complete eight regular (fall and spring) semesters; summer semesters are for addressing deficiencies, not graduating early.

FCCU awards diplomas with Latin Honors based on the graduating CGPA:

• Summa Cum Laude (Highest Honors) — 3.90 CGPA or above
• Magna Cum Laude (High Honors) — 3.70 to 3.89 CGPA
• Cum Laude (Honors) — 3.50 to 3.69 CGPA

Each semester the Vice Rector's List recognizes students who complete at least four courses with a grade point average of 3.75 or better; students with incomplete grades at the time of publication are not eligible. Transfer (migrated) students qualify for honors only if they completed more than half of their graduation credits at FCCU.

Credit earned elsewhere is recorded as a T (transferred credit) grade and does not factor into the FCCU GPA. FCCU has discontinued awarding course credit for A-Level, Edexcel, and International qualifications; instead, only grades of B or above in the relevant A-Level subject are used to meet a course prerequisite (for example, a B or higher in Pure Mathematics 3 satisfies the prerequisite for MATH 201). Students who had already earned A-Level credit keep it but will not receive new credit under the changed policy.
