End-of-semester exams are graded on a 100-point scale. The final grade is determined by combining both the semester/year evaluations and the end-of-semester exam scores. Each evaluation component is weighted according to the contribution percentage specified in the course syllabus, which is made available before the registration renewal period. The weighted scores are then summed and rounded to the nearest whole number to calculate the final grade.To progress to the thesis stage, students must have a weighted GPA of at least 2.30 out of 4.00. To meet the graduation requirement, the GPA must be at least 2.50 out of 4.00.For Master's programs with or without a thesis, the following letter grades are considered successful: A+, A, A-, B+, B, and B-.
