Grading System:

Grades are calculated on a 100-point scale. The final grade in a course is determined by combining the student's in-term performance and their results from the final exams. In-term performance includes factors such as class attendance, fieldwork, practical exercises, assignments, projects, internships, workshops, seminars, laboratories, and similar activities. These are assessed in conjunction with the midterm exam, conducted in the final week of the semester as per the academic calendar. The contribution of the final exam to the overall course grade can range between 40% and 60%.

The weight of in-term performance and the final exam towards the overall grade, along with the specifics of in-term activities, are announced by the course instructor during the first two weeks of the semester. The relative grading system is applied, where the average and statistical distribution of the grades of all students in the course are considered. The Senate determines the principles of applying the relative grading system. Course grades and their corresponding coefficients are as follows:

Letter Grades:

- AA: 4.00
- BA: 3.50
- BB: 3.00
- CB: 2.50
- CC: 2.00
- DC: 1.50
- DD: 1.00
- FD: 0.50
- FF: 0.00

Additional Grades:

- S: Satisfactory in non-credit courses
- U: Unsatisfactory in non-credit courses
- P: Passing in the first semester of an annual course
- EX: Exempt from the course after passing a university exemption exam
- NI: Courses not included in the GPA calculation
- NA: Failure due to not meeting attendance and/or practical requirements, ineligible for the final exam
- T: Transfer credit from another institution

A student is considered to have passed a course if they receive one of the grades AA, BA, BB, CB, CC, S, or EX. If a student receives a DC or DD in one or more courses and their cumulative GPA for that semester is 2.00 or higher, they are considered to have passed those courses. The grade T is awarded for courses transferred from other departments of the university or from other universities and accepted by the faculty/school committee based on the recommendation of the department head. This grade is not included in the GPA calculation.

GPA Calculation:

The academic performance of students is determined by calculating both their semester GPA and overall GPA. The weighted score for a course is found by multiplying the course credits by the grade coefficient. The semester GPA is calculated by dividing the total weighted score for all required courses in that semester by the total number of course credits. Annual courses are included in the spring semester GPA. The overall GPA is calculated by dividing the total weighted score for all required courses taken during the student's academic career by the total number of course credits.

When calculating the GPA, two decimal places are used. If the third decimal is 5 or greater, the second decimal is rounded up. Courses from minor or double major programs, as well as courses with S and T grades, are not considered in GPA calculations. If a student repeats a course, only the most recent grade is included in the GPA. Students can retake courses in which they received a DD, DC, or CC grade to improve their GPA, and the most recent grade will be used in the GPA calculation.
