Students are assessed through the semester activity and the written, practical and oral examinations as well as an assessment of the skills acquired from the research project. The evaluation form of the research project should be approved by the Executive Committee and the Higher Committee of the program. Calculation of course grade is shown in the following table:

Article 14: Failing in Courses
To succeed in the course, the student should get at least 60% of the total marks of the course, otherwise he/she will be considered failing. The Failing student is allowed two other chances to re-register, attend, and apply for the exam in the same course.
Article 15: Calculation of GPA
The semester Grade Point Average (GPA) represents the courses studied in a semester and is computed as follows: Sum of multiplying the number of grade points obtained by the student in each course by the number of credit hours of that course, for all courses accomplished by the student, divided by the total number of hours in the semester - to the nearest two decimal numbers.
GPA= Sum of Grade Points of all courses completed by the student in the semester
Sum of credits hours of all courses completed by the student in the semester
The Cumulative GPA (CGPA) is the average of all final grades obtained by the student within the program to the nearest two decimal numbers. It is calculated as follows:
CGPA= Sum of Grade Points of all courses completed by the student in the program
Sum of credits hours of all courses of the program

**If the student has CGPA score of less than 2, he/she is allowed to re-register in some courses to improve the GPA, in which case the higher grade is calculated
