Student Assessment and the Grading System of Undergraduate Students

Student learning is assessed on a continuous assessment basis in the form of tests, assignments, presentations, etc. to determine the final letter grade earned. Continuous assessment shall account for 50% of the total module/course grade. The remaining 50% shall be allotted for a final exam conducted at the end of module/course delivery. Examinations may be oral, written or practical, depending on the nature of the module/course. The number, type and schedule of examinations or tests in a module/course shall be determined by the instructor and stated on the module/course outline to be issued to students at the beginning of the module/course. Letter grades are assigned to the marks earned out of 100% on a fixed scale (criteria referenced grading system). The raw marks out of 100% and their equivalent letter grades are indicated in the following table. Notwithstanding the grading system indicated here, the School of Medicine may follow its own grading system that shall be approved by the Academic Commission of CHS. Instructors are required to report raw marks and letter grades to the department and it should clearly show that continuous assessment has been conducted.

Addis Ababa University Grading System
A student may not graduate with a CGPA of less than 2.0. He shall thus score at least a `C` grade in each of the modules he is required to take under the program.
A student who scores a `C-`grade in all the modules taken may be promoted to the next semester where he/she is a first semester first year student. This minimum grade required to be promoted to the next semester may be raised for second year students and above.
A student in good standing may graduate if he scores a `C-`grade in any course under a module. Where the ‘C-’ grade is for a module or for a course as a module, he shall, however, sit for re-examination with a view to removing it.
A student who scores `D` grades in all courses under a module or in all modules may not be promoted to the next semester
A good standing student is entitled to be promoted to the next semester as well as graduate even if he scores a `D` grade in any course under a module. Where the `D` grade relates to a module or a course treated as a module, such student shall take re-examination and remove the grade.
A student with `Fx` may be allowed to sit for re-examination twice with the necessary support. Any of the grades such student scores in the re-examinations may be taken into consideration in determining his academic status.
A student who scores an `F` grade in a course under a module or in a module or a course taken as a module may be allowed to repeat the same twice. Any of the grades such student scores in the re-examinations may be taken into consideration in determining his academic status.
In cases where students do not have full examination records, the instructor shall record “NG” for No Grade. All “NG”s shall be changed to one or another of the following before grades are submitted to the Registrar.
To an “I” (incomplete) by the AC in consultation with the instructor concerned for a student who, because of illness or of other reasons beyond his control, fails to complete the course; or
To a “W” (withdrawn) by the department/center chair/school head for a student who has formally withdrawn from the program within eight weeks after the beginning of the semester; or
To a “DO” (dropout) by the dean for a student who has not withdrawn from a program in accordance with the withdrawal procedures set forth by the University.
Neither “W”, “DO” nor “I” shall play any part in the computation of the semester grade point average. A student who obtains a “DO” for a module/course or courses shall be required to justify the reasons why he failed to comply with the withdrawal procedures set forth by the University to the appropriate academic commission within six weeks after the commencement of the subsequent semester. Failure to do so shall result in an automatic “F” grade.
All required non-credit work shall be recorded with a grade of “P” (Pass) and “F” (Fail), but neither shall be included in the computation of the grade point average.
A double asterisk (**) shall be entered in place of a letter grade in those rare cases where a module/course is in progress and no work has been completed to give the instructor a basis for giving a letter grade. This would apply only to such modules/courses as projects/thesis/ dissertation or seminars with research components running beyond one semester and shall not be applicable to one-semester modules/courses.

2. Student assessment and grading system of Graduate Students

Examinations are graded on the following letter grading system, with corresponding points.

Raw Mark	Letter Grade	Grade Points
[95, 100)	A+	4.00
[85, 95)	A	4.00
[80, 85)	A-	3.75
[75, 80)	B+	3.50
[70, 75)	B	3.00
[65, 70)	B-	2.75
[60, 65)	C+	2.50
[50, 60)	C	2.00
[40, 50)	D	1.00
< 40	F	0.00

Thesis or Dissertation evaluation shall be graded on the following ranking system, with corresponding grading scales and letter grades;

Rank	Grading scale in percent	Letter Grade
Excellent	≥ 85	A
Very Good	75 ≤ X < 85	B⁺
Good	60 ≤ X < 75	B
Satisfactory	50 ≤ X < 60	C⁺
Fail	< 50	F

Getting a grade less than ‘B’ in individual subjects and/or courses by a graduate student may be tolerated. However, to complete the program, and be eligible for graduation, a graduate student shall have to obtain a minimum CGPA of 3:00 (‘B’).

3. Semester Academic Achievements and Academic Status
Students are required to achieve a certain level of score to be promoted to the next semester. This achievement is measured by (1) Semester Grade Point Average (SGPA), and (2) Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA).
SGPA is calculated by considering only the modules/courses for which the student is registered for the semester.
CGPA is calculated by considering all the modules/courses the student accumulated so far. The GPAs are obtained by dividing the sum of all grade points for the modules/courses divided by the total sum of ECTS/credits. For example Course A has 5 ECTS and the student scored C+. The same student is also registered for Course B which has 7 ECTS and the student scored A-. Therefore
GPA = (5*2.5)+(7*3.75)/(5+7)=3.23
After calculating the GPA, the student will be given status by his/her dean.
