GPA and CGPA rules
GPA is computed each Term as the credit-weighted average of grade points earned; CGPA is the cumulative version across all Terms to date. Both are rounded to two decimal places for reporting. F grades and non-credit courses (graded Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory) are excluded from the GPA/CGPA calculation, though an F stays permanently on the transcript.
A student who fails a core course (F) must repeat it; a failed optional course may be repeated or substituted. Repeating a previously failed course caps the new grade at B+. A D grade may be repeated for improvement only if CGPA is below 2.20; a grade of C or better cannot be repeated for improvement unless CGPA is below 2.20.
CGPA may be converted to an equivalent percentage using the university's own formula: for 3.75–4.00 CGPA, % = 79 + 80 × (CGPA − 3.75); for 2.20–3.75 CGPA, % = 44 + 20 × (CGPA − 2.00).

Academic probation
A student is placed on academic probation if their Term GPA or CGPA falls below 2.20. The minimum probation period is one Term, though a full academic year is usual. A student on probation who fails to raise their GPA to at least 2.20 across two consecutive academic years may be suspended from the University.

Graduation requirements
The minimum CGPA required to obtain a Bachelor of Science in Engineering or Bachelor of Urban & Regional Planning degree is 2.20. Students must also complete a minimum of 160 credit hours, of which no more than 150 may be core courses, within a maximum of 7 consecutive academic years.

Honors, Dean's List, and Gold Medal
Bachelor's degrees are awarded with Honors if the graduate's CGPA is 3.75 or better. The Dean's List recognizes students who maintain an average GPA of 3.75 or above across both Terms of an academic year with no F grade in either Term. The University Gold Medal is awarded to the top-ranked graduate in each department whose CGPA is 3.75 or above, who completed the degree within four consecutive academic years with no F grades and satisfactory attendance.

Transfer credit
A student may transfer up to 50% of the required theory courses completed at another public university or institution, provided the courses were taken within the previous 5 years, the student earned a minimum CGPA of 3.0 (on a 4.0 scale) with no F grade, and there was no discontinuity of study.
