Multimedia University (MMU) GPA Calculator

Multimedia University grades every course on a fixed, marks-based scale from F (0%) up to A+ (90-100%), with twelve letter grades in between. Six of those letters — A-, B+, B, B-, C+, and C — are further split into five 1-mark-wide sub-bands, each carrying its own grade-point value that steps up by roughly 0.06-0.07 per mark, rather than one flat value for the whole letter; the other six letters (A+, A, C-, D+, D, F) each carry a single flat grade point across their whole range.

The standard passing grade is D (a mark of 40% or above), effective from Trimester 3 of the 2022/2023 academic year onward. Three professional-body programmes are the exception: Bachelor of Law, Bachelor of Accounting, and Diploma in Accounting require a 50% passing mark instead — a student in one of those programmes who scores in the C-, D+, or D range is recorded as having failed the course, even though the same mark counts as a pass in every other programme.

Each trimester's Grade Point Average (GPA) is the Total Grade Points earned divided by the Total Credit Hours taken that trimester. The Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) is the same calculation run across every trimester completed so far — Cumulative Total Grade Points divided by Cumulative Total Credit Hours.

A student may repeat a course up to two times. Only the best grade earned across all attempts counts toward the CGPA — lower attempts do not drag the average down — but a repeat requires redoing the full coursework and examinations, not just the exam. A student who still fails a course after two repeats and is dismissed cannot appeal for reinstatement.

A CGPA of 2.00 or above keeps a student in good standing ("Pass" status). Falling below 2.00 in a trimester's GPA or CGPA places a student on Probation. A student whose GPA or CGPA stays below 2.00 for two consecutive trimesters is Terminated from their programme.

A terminated student may appeal to the Senate Appeal Committee for reinstatement; if that appeal is unsuccessful, a second and final appeal can be made to the President of Multimedia University.

To graduate, a student must complete the number of credits prescribed by their programme with a CGPA of at least 2.00, in addition to meeting their Faculty's own requirements and any further requirements set by the Senate.

Classification of Honours (on graduation, by CGPA):

• Bachelor's degree — First Class: CGPA 3.67-4.00; Second Upper: 3.33-3.66; Second Lower: 2.67-3.32; Third Class: 2.00-2.66.
• Diploma — Distinction: CGPA 3.50-4.00; Credit: 3.00-3.49; Pass: 2.00-2.99.

Dean's List (per trimester, by GPA):

• Foundation students need a minimum GPA of 3.67, while carrying at least 12 credit hours of graded coursework in a Long Trimester (6 in a Short Trimester).
• Bachelor's and Diploma students need a minimum GPA of 3.50, alongside a minimum graded credit-hour load for that trimester.

Credit transferred from another institution must come from a course covering at least 80% of the matching MMU course's syllabus, with a grade equivalent to at least MMU's Grade C. Transferring from a Diploma into a Bachelor's degree (a "vertical" transfer) is capped at 50% of the Bachelor's programme's total credit, and the minimum grade required rises with the amount transferred: Grade C for the first 30% of credit, Grade B for the next 20%. Transfers between programmes at the same level ("horizontal" transfers) and credit awarded for prior experiential learning (APEL) follow their own separate caps.

Grade transfer — carrying both credit and grade forward after a change of faculty or programme — is handled separately from credit transfer and is only available for coursework taken within the five years before the new programme's registration date; students who were dismissed and later reinstated are not eligible for it.

Students who passed Bahasa Malaysia with a credit at SPM level are automatically exempted from the Bahasa Kebangsaan A course, and take a replacement MPU elective instead.
