Grade Point Average (GPA)

It is the general average of grades for all student courses during specific program of studies, balanced by the number of credits for every course, according to the formula:



If a course was repeated, the higher grade is used while calculating the Grade Point Average.

The grades I, W, WW, PR, RR and AL as well as credits transferred from another institution (T) or granted (G) are not included in the general average.

The grades FW which are equal to 40 are included in the general average.

The Grade Point Average is calculated to the second decimal and is displayed on the grades transcript. 

General Average per Semester (GAS)

The General Average per Semester is calculated according to the same aforementioned formula (refer to Grade Point Average (GPA)), according to the course taken in a particular semester.

The General Average per Semester is calculated to the second decimal and is displayed on the grades transcript.

Grade Point Average of a Diploma/Degree (GPAD)

The Grade Point Average of a Diploma/Degree is the Grade Point Average taken into account and needed in order to graduate.
With a normal academic process, the Grade Point Average of a Dilpoma/Degree is equal to the aforementioned Grade Point Average.

The Grade Point Average of a Diploma/Degree is calculated to the second decimal and is displayed on the grades transcript.

Grade Point Average of a Diploma/Degree (GPAD) after changing the academic program

The change of academic programs is not applicable in graduate studies. Students wishing to change their academic program are required to submit a new admission application, and in that case, they have to pass to corresponding admission test.

However, students can submit a request to change the option in their academic program. This request will automatically be rejected in case the student was under probation.

If a student changes his/her academic program, the Grade Point Average of a Diploma/Degree is calculated according to the same previous formula, whilst taking into account the following courses:

• Courses taken by a student

  before changing the program and which are equivalent to some courses in the new academic program;

• Courses taken by the student

  after changing his/her specialization.

For the repeated or equivalent courses, the higher grade will be taken into consideration.

It is worth mentioning that the Grade Point Average of all the courses, since registering in undergraduate studies at USEK, is calculated and displayed in the student’s grades transcript.
