Results and Pass Rate
Course Marks, Grades, Pass Rate, and Semester and Cumulative Grade Point Averages
1- Examination marks for courses are recorded numerically as percentages, in letter grades, and as grade points, as set out in the following table:
| Percentage Marks | Letter Grade | Grade Points | |
| 90 to 100 | A | 4 | |
| 85 to less than 90 | B+ | 3.5 | |
| 80 to less than 85 | B | 3 | |
| 75 to less than 80 | C+ | 2.5 | |
| 70 to less than 75 | C | 2 | |
| 65 to less than 70 | D+ | 1.5 | |
| 60 to less than 65 | D | 1 | |
| Less than 60 | E | 0 |
2 - The minimum pass grade for each individual course is (D) in letter grade, equivalent to (1) grade point and (60) percent. A student who receives an (E) grade in a course, i.e. less than sixty, receives (zero) grade points and is therefore considered to have failed. The student must retake the course in the following semester or semesters.
3 - Grade points are used to calculate semester and cumulative averages in the Sharia Department and the Sharia and Law Department, as follows:
| Grade Points | Letter Grade | Rating | |
| 4 | A | A | Excellent |
| 3 to less than 4 | B, B+ | B, B+ | Very Good |
| 2 to less than 3 | C, C+ | C, C+ | Good |
| 1 to less than 2 | D+, D | D, D+ | Acceptable |
| Less than 1 | E | E | Weak |
4 - Semester and cumulative grade point averages are calculated by multiplying the grade points of each course by its credit hours, then dividing the sum of these products by the total credit hours of all courses, as shown in the following example:
| Course | Grade | Points | Credit Hours | Total |
| Modern Literature | B | 3 | 1 | 3 |
| Usul al-Fiqh | B+ | 3.5 | 3 | 10.5 |
| Civil Law | C+ | 2.5 | 3 | 7.5 |
| Banking and Finance | C | 2 | 2 | 4 |
| Total | 9 | 25 |
Final semester or cumulative average: 25 ÷ 9 = 2.77 points = C+ = Good
5 - The semester average is the grade point average of all courses the student studied in the semester, whether passed or failed, provided that the credit hours of these courses are not less than the minimum for a full semester, which is (17) credit hours in the Sharia Department and (18) credit hours in the Law Department.
6 - The cumulative average is the grade point average of all courses the student has studied from the beginning of their studies up to the date on which the average is extracted, whether passed or failed.
7 - The cumulative average of students in the Sharia Department or the Law Department must not be less than (2) points (70%) in order to clear academic warning, avoid possible compulsory transfer or final dismissal, and retain their right to graduate.
8 - First-class honours are awarded to a student who obtains a cumulative average of at least (4) points upon graduation. Second-class honours are awarded to a student who obtains a cumulative average between (3.5) and less than (4) points upon graduation.
9 - Students who obtain a semester average of (3.5) points or above are ranked according to their grade points and placed on the College's Honour Roll throughout the following semester.
