semester average
A- The semester average (GPA: Grade Point Average) is calculated for each student at the end of each semester, which is the sum of the logical marks obtained by the student in the courses he studied during that semester, pass or fail, after multiplying each of them by the number of credit hours of the course divided by the total number of hours The credit that the student studied during the semester.

C- The courses in which the student failed and obtained a grade (F) with a point (zero) are calculated in the point average.
cumulative average
A- The cumulative average (AGPA: Accumulated GPA) is calculated for each student at the end of each semester in the same way as the semester average, taking into account all the courses that the student has studied since the beginning of his studies until the date of calculating that average, pass or fail. Only the highest mark will be taken.
