Explanation of I, W, Y, O and Z Grades

No credits are granted for grades less than D. The Grade Point Average (GPA) is calculated by total points divided by total credits.

An ‘I’ grade is given to a student who has fulfilled the majority of the course requirement but has been unable to complete. The requirement should be fulfilled by the student before the end of the following semester in consultation with the course- instructor, failing which the grade converts to ‘F’. The student is not required to register for the course in the next semester.

A ‘W’ grade means withdrawal. A student may decide to withdraw from a course by the deadline with the consent of the instructor and the Academic Advisor.

A ‘Y’ grade means audit. A Student may decide to audit a course of his/her interest. In this case, the student pays the full tuition fee for the course, attend the classes, but is not required to sit for the exams or turn in the assignments. No credit is earned.

An ‘O’ grade is given to a student who has been administratively discontinued by the management as a punitive measure.

A ‘Z’ grade is a symbol assigned by the COE Office if no grade is received within the deadline
