Grading Description
The explanations of letter grades are described as follows:
A (A+, A and A-): Exceptional performance; all course objectives achieved; objectives met in a consistently outstanding manner.
B (B+, B and B-): Very good performance; significantly more than the majority (at least two-thirds) of the course objectives achieved; objectives met in a consistently thorough manner.
C (C+ and C): Satisfactory performance; at least the majority of the course objectives achieved; objectives met satisfactorily.
D: Minimally acceptable performance; less than the majority but more than the minimum required course objectives achieved; objectives achieved at a minimally acceptable level.
F: Unacceptable performance; minimum required course objectives not met; objectives not met at a minimally acceptable level; no credit.
Earned Credits
A course in which a student has obtained 'D' or a higher grade will be counted as credits earned by him/her. Any course in which a student has obtained an 'F' grade will not be counted towards their earned credits.
Calculation of GPA
Grade Point Average (GPA) is the weighted average of the grade points obtained in all the courses passed/completed by a student. The Grade Point Average (GPA) is computed in the following manner:
GPA = Σ (Grade Points × Credits) / Σ Credits Attempted
The Grade Point Average (GPA) is computed by dividing the total accumulated grade points earned during the MS program by the total credit points attempted. For successful completion of the MS program, a student must earn 32 credits or more if approved with no F grade in any department.
Requirements for successful completion of the MS degree:
A student must earn a GPA of 2.50 on a 4.00 scale for obtaining MS degree.
Time Limits for Completion of Master's Degree
A student must fulfill all the requirements for a Master's degree within a maximum period of two academic years, starting from the year of enrollment.
