Examination Regulations, Assessment and Grading

The examination, assessment and grading regulations have been set up for the university by the University Senate and the Department of Environmental Engineering is bound by these regulations. The midterm exam (It is also possible to add the marks that students get from homework, quizzes, laboratory to the midterm exam result) contributes 40 % while the final has a share of 60 % on the pass mark. The marking is made out of 100. Grades of 81-100 is assigned a letter grade of AA, 76-80 BA, 70-75 BB, 60-69 CB, 50-59 CC, 45-49 DC, 40-44 DD, 30-39 FD and 0-29 FF. The AA is the highest grade and has a grade credit of 4.00, BA 3.5, BB 3.0, CB 2.5, CC 2.0, DC 1.5, DD 1.0, FD 0.5 and FF 0.0. Grades of AA to CC are pass, DD to FF fail, and DC is conditional pass and requires a CGPA of at least 2.0 for that term. The details given for each course in the programme include the detailed assessment methods together with a description of the second mid-term exam. Each student must register for each course at the beginning of the each semester and attend at least 70% of the each lecture and 80% of each laboratory work in each semester in order to have the right to take the final exam of each theoretical/laboratory course.


Graduation Requirements

In order to successfully complete the program, it is necessary to obtain a grade point average of at least 2.0 out of 4.00 and successfully complete the dissertation.
