Grading System

  • RU uses the Grade Point Average (GPA) system. Semester GPA is a measure of performance of a student for a semester. A GPA is a number between 0 and 4 inclusively. Cumulative GPA is a measure of performance of a student for a number of semesters. Like semester GPA, Cumulative GPA is a number between 0 and 4 inclusively
  • Each course is assessed based on the Continuous Assessment Semester Examinations   and given a letter grade.  The letter grade F denotes a failure grade and has a numerical value of zero. The letter grades with their corresponding numerical values (including pluses), form an eight-step grade-point scale as shown below:
