About the IIUM GPA System
The International Islamic University Malaysia operates under a unique Kulliyyah (faculty) structure and offers programmes in both English and Arabic. IIUM is known for its law, economics, and Islamic studies programmes, attracting a diverse international student body from over 100 countries.
Why GPA Matters at IIUM
The Dean's List needs a semester GPA of 3.50 or above with at least 12 credits and every course passed, and the Rector's List a final CGPA of 3.50 or above with graduation on time.

IIUM Grading Note
IIUM grades on a 4.00 scale where C (50-54) is the lowest pass. Below it, D is 1.67, D- 1.33, E 1.00 and F 0, and all four are fails, so IIUM letters do not line up with other Malaysian universities: a D at IIUM means 45-49 marks.
What Counts in Your IIUM GPA
When you pass a failed required course on a repeat, the failed grade is marked RPT and dropped from your CGPA (for up to two repeats of a course). If you repeat a passed course, the lower grade is dropped. Medicine and Dentistry use Pass/Fail grades instead.
GPA Tips for IIUM Students
- IIUM organizes academics by Kulliyyah rather than faculty. Check your specific Kulliyyah regulations as they can set additional CGPA requirements beyond the university baseline.
- Students in Arabic-medium programmes should note that language proficiency courses carry credit hours and affect CGPA.
- IIUM Gombak and Kuantan campuses may have different course offerings; plan your course selections carefully to maintain a balanced CGPA load.
Common GPA Mistakes at IIUM
Students coming from other Malaysian universities often read IIUM's D as a pass. At IIUM, C (50-54) is the lowest pass, and D (1.67), D- (1.33) and E (1.00) are all fails even though they carry grade points.
IIUM Grading System
International Islamic University Malaysia uses a 4.0-point grading scale. The highest achievable GPA is 4.0, and letter grades are converted to grade points using the official IIUM grade table below. IIUM awards degree classifications based on cumulative GPA thresholds, with First Class requiring a CGPA of 3.50 or above.
Each module grade earns a specific number of grade points, which are then weighted by credit units to compute your semester GPA and cumulative GPA (CGPA). Use the IIUM GPA calculator above to project your CGPA based on expected grades.
