International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM) GPA Calculator

IIUM grades every undergraduate course on a fixed percentage-to-letter scale, from A down to F, each letter carrying a set grade point (A = 4.00 down to F = 0.00) that is applied the same way in every course — there is no curving or class-relative adjustment involved.

Each letter grade also carries a per-course Pass/Fail status: grades from A down to C are treated as a passing course result, while D, D-, E and F are a failing result for that course — a separate concept from the CGPA thresholds for academic standing described below.

Two Kulliyyahs (faculties) run an entirely different, non-GPA system: Kulliyyah of Medicine and Kulliyyah of Dentistry grade coursework on a Pass-with-Distinction / Pass / Fail basis by exam phase, with no grade points at all — these two clinical programmes do not have a CGPA in the ordinary sense this calculator represents.

A few special grade notations carry no grade point and do not affect GPA/CGPA: P/PA (pass in a pass/fail course), RPT (the lower grade in a repeated course), I (incomplete), IP (in progress), W (withdrawn), AU (audited), and EX (exempted/credit-transferred). A Y grade — given when a student fails to fulfil an additional course requirement such as attendance — is treated as equivalent to an F for GPA purposes even though it is recorded as its own notation.

IIUM reports a semester GPA and a cumulative CGPA, both credit-hour weighted on IIUM's 0.00-4.00 grade-point scale:

• GPA is the sum, across a semester's registered courses, of (credit hours × grade point), divided by the total credit hours registered that semester.
• CGPA is the same calculation across every semester of study to date, divided by total credits registered — counting only courses within the student's approved programme requirements.

IIUM's own regulations do not publish an official CGPA-to-percentage conversion formula — unlike some universities, there is no stated rule for translating a CGPA figure back into an equivalent percentage.

Good academic standing requires a CGPA of 2.00 or above.

Academic probation applies when a student's CGPA falls between 1.67 and 2.00 (1.67 ≤ CGPA < 2.00). A student on probation is capped at a maximum academic load of 18 credits for that semester.

Academic dismissal follows if: the CGPA falls below 1.67; a student on probation fails to bring their CGPA back to 2.00 or above; or a student is placed on probation for a third, non-consecutive time during their studies. Kulliyyah of Medicine and Dentistry students are additionally dismissed if they exceed the maximum allowable duration for their programme's phases.

Readmission after dismissal is available once, to a student with no disciplinary misconduct and a CGPA of at least 1.00 at the time of dismissal, subject to the Dean's approval and the Centre of Studies judging the student capable of completing their studies within the maximum allowable period. A readmitted student must reach a CGPA of at least 2.00 by the end of their readmission semester or face dismissal again; readmission must be applied for within two regular semesters of the dismissal.

IIUM's regulations do not print a fixed minimum CGPA to graduate. Instead, graduation is credit- and curriculum-based: a student's own Centre of Studies (Kulliyyah) evaluates completion of the programme's course and credit requirements and recommends the student to the university's Senate Graduation Committee, which verifies and endorses the graduation list.

This is separate from the CGPA 2.00 "good academic standing" threshold and the 1.67 dismissal threshold described above, which govern standing during study rather than the degree-conferral bar itself — IIUM's document does not state graduation eligibility in CGPA terms.

Dean's List. Awarded each semester to a student who achieves a semester GPA of 3.50 or above, has registered for at least 12 credits (or their equivalent) that semester, and has passed every course taken.

Rector's List. IIUM's highest academic distinction at graduation: awarded to a student who achieves a final CGPA of 3.50 or above and completes their degree within the prescribed study period.

Treatment differs by where the credits come from:

• From another institution, same qualification level (Horizontal Credit Transfer): up to 75% of the programme's total credit-hour requirement can be transferred, subject to the Centre of Studies' approval, provided the course was passed with a good grade, is at least 80% equivalent in curriculum, and comes from an accredited programme.
• From another institution, a lower qualification level (Vertical Credit Transfer): up to 30% of the total credit-hour requirement can be transferred, under the same approval conditions.
• Credits transferred from outside IIUM are recorded with an EX (Exempted) grade, which carries no grade point and does not affect GPA/CGPA — it counts only toward total credits completed.
• Credits transferred within IIUM (from the Centre for Foundation Studies or Pre-Sessional programmes) keep their original course grade, which does count toward GPA/CGPA in the new programme.
