How grading works at Islamic University of Madinah

Islamic University of Madinah (IUM) grades on a 1.00–5.00 grade-point scale. Your percentage in a course falls into a fixed whole-number band, and each band carries a single fixed grade weight — the value depends only on which band your percentage falls in, not on your exact mark inside it. The full band-to-weight mapping is shown in the Grade Scale Reference above.

Bands are printed as "{low} to less than {high}" — for example, 90 to less than 95 is grade A — so each whole percentage point belongs to exactly one band, from 0 up to 100.

The scale tops out at 5.00 (grade A+, for 95–100%); the lowest grade, F, is worth 1.00 rather than 0.00 — IUM's guide does not use a zero floor. This grading table is set out in IUM's own university-wide undergraduate student guide, issued by the Deanship of Admissions & Registration, and applies to every course across the university, including its religious colleges.

What counts toward your GPA at IUM

Not every mark on an IUM transcript carries grade-point weight. A Denial (DN) grade — given when a student is barred from a course's final exam for attendance below 75%, or for an unexcused absence — carries the same 1.00 weight as an F, effectively treating it as a forced fail for GPA purposes.

Several other statuses carry no grade-point weight at all and are excluded from the cumulative GPA calculation: In-Progress (IP) and In-Complete (IC) courses, Nograde-Pass (NP) and Nograde-Fail (NF) results, Withdrawn (W) courses, and Exempted (E) courses — IUM's guide states exemptions explicitly are "not included in the cumulative GPA calculation."

Minimum GPA to graduate from IUM

To graduate, a bachelor's student at Islamic University of Madinah must hold a cumulative GPA of at least 2.75 out of 5.00, university-wide. This applies across all of IUM's undergraduate programs — it is not limited to a single college or major.

This floor is higher than the general baseline some other Saudi universities publish (2.00 out of 5.00); IUM's own guide sets 2.75 as the graduation minimum for every bachelor's student, not only for a specific college.

Graduation honors classification at IUM

IUM classifies graduating cumulative GPAs into four bands: Excellent (ممتاز) at 4.50 and above, Very Good (جيد جدًا) from 3.75 up to but not including 4.50, Good (جيد) from 2.75 up to but not including 3.75, and Pass (مقبول) from 2.00 up to but not including 2.75 — all on the 5.00-point scale.

Above the general classification, IUM also awards graduation honors: First-class honors for a cumulative GPA of 4.75–5.00, and Second-class honors for 4.25 up to but not including 4.75.

Frequently asked questions

Can I save my semesters and track my CGPA at IUM?
Yes. After you calculate a semester's GPA, click "Save as semester" to add it to the built-in CGPA tracker, which then computes your cumulative GPA across every saved semester using the standard weighted formula (Σ SGPA × credits ÷ Σ credits). You can save semesters by course (full breakdown) or quick-add a past semester with just the SGPA and credit hours. Locking, renaming, and deleting saved semesters are all supported, and the tracker shows a running CGPA plus a trend arrow versus your previous semester.
How do I convert SGPA to CGPA at IUM?
Your CGPA is the credit-weighted average of every semester's SGPA. The formula is: CGPA = (SGPA₁ × credits₁ + SGPA₂ × credits₂ + … + SGPAₙ × creditsₙ) ÷ (credits₁ + credits₂ + … + creditsₙ). On this page, add each semester to the CGPA tracker (either by course or as a quick SGPA + credit-hours entry) and the calculator runs the conversion for you on every save, edit, and delete — no manual arithmetic required.
Can I add past semester GPAs without entering every course?
Yes. On the My CGPA Tracker tab, click "Add semester" and choose the quick-add option. You enter just the SGPA and the credit hours for that semester — no course-by-course breakdown required. It works as a GPA calculator with previous semesters support, or as a GPA calculator without course details when you only remember the SGPA from your transcript. Quick-added and course-by-course semesters can be mixed freely; both contribute to your CGPA using the same credit-weighted formula.
Is my CGPA tracker data sent to your servers?
No. Your saved semesters are stored locally in your browser only — nothing is transmitted to GPAWise. A "Clear all tracker data" button is always available on the tracker tab to wipe the data on demand.
Is this Islamic University of Madinah (IUM) GPA calculator free?
Yes — GPAWise is completely free to use. There's no signup, no paywall, and your inputs stay in your browser.
Does an F lower my GPA to 0.00 at IUM?

No. On IUM's 1.00–5.00 grade-point scale, an F (below 60% in a course) is worth 1.00 grade point, not 0.00 — IUM does not use a zero floor. The lowest grade above F is D, worth 2.00, awarded for 60% up to but not including 65%. See the Grade Scale Reference on this page for the full band-to-weight mapping.

What GPA do I need to graduate from Islamic University of Madinah?

IUM requires a cumulative GPA of at least 2.75 out of 5.00 for a bachelor's student to graduate, university-wide. This is higher than the 2.00/5.00 floor some other Saudi universities publish as their general graduation minimum.

What happens if I'm barred from a final exam (DN) at IUM?

A Denial (DN) grade is recorded when a student is barred from sitting a course's final exam — for attendance below 75%, or for an unexcused absence. DN carries the same 1.00 grade-point weight as an F, so it counts toward your cumulative GPA the same way a fail would.
