Grading System
ABU grade point average (GPA) is computed on a four-point scale. GPA is obtained by (1) multiplying the credit hours of each course by the numerical value of the grade received for that course, (2) totaling the results for all courses taken, and (3) dividing the sum by the total credits attempted. The scale of grades and interpretation of the quality of work is as follows:
​
A Excellent 90-100 4.0
​
B Above Average 80-89 3.0
​
C Average 70-79 2.0
​
D Below Average 60-69 1.0
​
F Failure 0-59 0.0
​
WP Withdrawn Passing
WF Withdrawn Failing
I Incomplete
​
P Pass
Course Credit
The unit of credit is the semester hour, and the number of hours that may be earned for a course is based on the number of hours the class meets each week. Credit is awarded at ABU for courses completed with a grade of D or above. Only a class completed with a grade of C or above is eligible for transfer.
