It will be awarded twice per academic year, in Semester 1 to full-time students and in Semester 2 to both full-time and part-time students. This achievement will be reflected in the student’s final transcript.

    • Modules with ‘EXE’, ‘IP’, ‘IC’ or ‘W’ grades;
    • Modules graded Satisfactory/ Unsatisfactory or Completed Satisfactory/ Completed Unsatisfactory

Computation of Semester Average Point (SAP) / Academic Year Average Point (AYAP)

AYAP is computed from grades achieved within the academic year under consideration.

Formula for computation of SAP / AYSAP : ∑(Grade Point* MCs)/∑ (MCs)
