Foundation University (FUI) GPA Calculator

Foundation University's School of Science & Technology (FUSST) uses different pass floors for Undergraduate and Graduate (MBA/MS, PhD) programs. An Undergraduate course is failed and graded F below 50% marks; an MBA/MS or PhD course is failed below 64% marks. Either way, a failed course is not counted toward the aggregate marks.

Regardless of marks already earned in midterm/internal assessment, a student must obtain at least 20% marks in the terminal (final) examination to pass a course. A student who passes a course only via a retake is barred from receiving any medal or certificate for that result.

The Semester GPA (SGPA) is Sum of (Credit Hours × Grade Point Credit) / Sum of Credit Hours; the Cumulative GPA (CGPA) is the same calculation across every semester taken.

The two are rounded differently. SGPA is rounded to one decimal place using standard rounding (a second-decimal digit of 5 or above raises the first decimal, e.g. 1.45 becomes 1.5, while 1.44 stays 1.4). CGPA is truncated to two decimal places without rounding (e.g. 1.445 is recorded as 1.44).

A student is placed on academic probation once their CGPA falls below the minimum for their program: 2.00 for Undergraduate, 2.50 for MBA/MS, and 3.00 for PhD. A written warning and a counseling session (with parents or guardians where possible) follow.

Consecutive probations lead to dismissal: an Undergraduate student ceases to be a student after three consecutive probations; an MBA/MS or PhD scholar after two. A student with two consecutive probations also cannot register for fresh courses the next semester without HOD approval.

A student with a CGPA below 2.00 (below 2.50 for MBA programs) in their last semester will not graduate.

Each degree program (except PhD/MS) awards one Gold Medal to the student with the highest CGPA and one Silver Medal to the second-highest, per calendar year, provided the student carries no F, Repeat, or Drop/Freeze on record. Neither medal is awarded below 3.50 CGPA.

A Distinction Certificate requires a CGPA of 3.75 or above; a Merit Certificate requires 3.50 or above — both carry the same no-F/Repeat/Drop-Freeze condition and both exclude PhD/MS.

A student migrating into FUI needs a minimum CGPA of 2.00/4.00 (Undergraduate) or 2.80/4.00 (Graduate) to qualify. Only grades of B and above are considered for transfer, and up to 60% of credit hours may be transferred into a graduate program. Migrated students are not eligible for the Best Graduate Award.
