Grading policy at Jazan University
Jazan University grades courses on a point scale under the Council of University Affairs' unified "Study and Examination Regulations for the University Level," in force university-wide from the start of the 1444 AH academic year. The regulation prints two parallel point columns (out of 5.00 and out of 4.00); Jazan's own text applies the 5.00 column throughout, including a fail grade (F) worth 1.00 rather than 0.00.
Several administrative course-status symbols carry no grade-point weight and do not affect the GPA: In-Progress (IP), Incomplete (IC), Denied/Denial (DN), No-grade pass (NP), No-grade fail (NF), Withdrawn (W), and Exemption (E).
