FC College Official 4.0 Grading Scale
Forman Christian College University (FCCU) uses a 4.00-point GPA scale for all undergraduate and postgraduate programmes. A student's GPA and CGPA are calculated based on quality points assigned to each letter grade. Plus (+) and minus (-) variations are factored in at fractional values.
| Letter Grade | Grade Points | Description |
|---|---|---|
| A | 4.00 | Superior Work |
| A- | 3.70 | Superior Work |
| B+ | 3.30 | Good Work |
| B | 3.00 | Good Work |
| B- | 2.70 | Good Work |
| C+ | 2.30 | Satisfactory Work |
| C | 2.00 | Satisfactory Work |
| C- | 1.70 | Satisfactory Work |
| D+ | 1.30 | Poor Work |
| D | 1.00 | Poor Work |
| NS | 0.00 | No Show — Unauthorized Withdrawal |
| F | 0.00 | Unacceptable Work — Fail |
NS Grade — No Show: The NS (No Show) grade is assigned when a student withdraws from a course without authorization or simply stops attending without formally dropping the course. An NS carries 0.00 grade points — identical to an F — and counts against your GPA. Always formally withdraw from a course through the Registrar's Office to avoid an NS grade on your transcript.
Semester GPA Formula
SGPA = Σ (Grade Points × Credit Hours) ÷ Total Semester Credit Hours
Example: Course 1 (3 Credits) = A- (3.70) + Course 2 (3 Credits) = B+ (3.30)
Sum = (3×3.70) + (3×3.30) = 11.10 + 9.90 = 21.00 → SGPA = 21.00 ÷ 6 = 3.50
CGPA Formula
CGPA = Σ (SGPA × Semester Credit Hours) ÷ Total Credit Hours of All Semesters
FCCU CGPA to Percentage Formula
FCCU follows the standard HEC percentage conversion formula:
Percentage = CGPA × 25
Example: CGPA 3.50 → 3.50 × 25 = 87.5%
"FCCU uses the standard HEC formula (CGPA × 25) for percentage conversion. Use this value for job applications, government service forms, and graduate school admissions — it applies consistently across HEC-recognized Pakistani universities."
FCCU CGPA Requirements & Degree Progression Rules
FCCU applies a tiered minimum CGPA requirement that increases as students progress through their degree. This ensures continuous improvement and prepares students for the higher academic demands of later years.
Minimum CGPA for Good Academic Standing
| Year Level | Credits Completed | Min CGPA Required | What It Means |
|---|---|---|---|
| Freshman | 1 – 30 credits | 1.50 | Introductory threshold — build your foundation |
| Sophomore | 31 – 60 credits | 1.75 | Rising requirement — consistent effort needed |
| Junior | 61 – 90 credits | 2.00 | Standard minimum — required for most degrees |
Degree Progression & Grade Rules
| Situation | Rule |
|---|---|
| Passing Grade for Degree Credit | A grade of C or higher is required for a course to count toward degree requirements |
| D Grade | A course with a D can only satisfy degree requirements if a grade of B or higher is earned in another full course |
| Dean's Honour Roll | Semester GPA of 3.70 or above qualifies for the Dean's Honour Roll |
| NS / F Grade | Both NS and F carry 0.00 grade points and negatively impact GPA — treated identically in calculations |
C Grade is the minimum for degree completion: At FCCU, a course in which you earn a D does not automatically count toward your degree requirements — even though you technically passed. You must earn a C or higher for a course to fulfil your programme requirements. Plan your course load carefully to avoid needing extra semesters.
D Grade workaround: If you earn a D in a course, that course can still satisfy a degree requirement — but only if you earn a B or higher in a different full course. This rule gives students a path forward without immediately retaking the low-grade course, but it requires strong performance elsewhere in your programme.
