How grading works at University of Swabi
University of Swabi grades every course on a fixed percentage-to-letter scale, from A+ (4.00 grade points) down to F (0.00), printed in its Semester Rules for Bachelor and Master programmes. The same table applies university-wide to both undergraduate and graduate programmes — there is no separate scale for a particular campus or discipline. The full letter grade, marks band, and grade-point mapping is shown in the Grade Scale Reference on this page.
Results are recorded on the transcript by percentage marks, letter grade, and grade point together.

How University of Swabi calculates GPA and CGPA
University of Swabi computes a Grade Point Average (GPA) for each semester and a Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) across all semesters, both as a credit-hour-weighted average: each course's grade point is multiplied by its credit hours, these are summed, then divided by the total credit hours.
- A course dropped or withdrawn from is marked W on the transcript and does not carry a grade point.
- Courses taken as non-credit appear on the transcript but have no impact on CGPA.
- If a student repeats a course, the old grade is replaced by the new grade for CGPA purposes; but if the student instead takes a different course in place of the failed/dropped/withdrawn one, both grades remain on the transcript.

Probation and drop-out rules at University of Swabi
A student is placed on probation the following semester if their semester GPA falls in a set range: above 1.00 and below 2.00 for undergraduate students, or above 1.50 and below 2.50 for graduate students. How many probations a student can be placed on depends on programme length — two-semester programmes allow none, four-semester programmes allow one, and eight-semester programmes allow two. Failing to raise the GPA to the required floor (2.00 undergraduate / 2.50 graduate) by the end of the final allowed probation leads to cancellation of admission.
A student can also be dropped out of their programme on disciplinary grounds, for 7 consecutive days of unexplained absence without readmitting within 15 days, or if their GPA falls below 1.00 in any semester.
