About the UMS GPA System

UMS Grading Note

For intakes from 2022/2023, UMS grades on a 4.00 scale from A+ (90-100) down to E (0-34), and D+ (40-44) is the minimum pass; D and E are fails. Earlier intakes have no A+ and pass at D. Engineering, Accounting and Medicine use stricter pass grades.

UMS Accuracy Scope

When you repeat a course, only the best grade counts in your PNGK. Audit, withdrawn and vertically transferred courses are left out. Faculty of Computing and Informatics students also need at least 20% in both coursework and the final exam.

GPA Tips for UMS Students

  • UMS marine science and biology students should factor in fieldwork components that carry credit hours. Strong fieldwork reports can boost overall CGPA.
  • Students at UMS Labuan International Campus should verify their programme follows the same grading regulations as the main Kota Kinabalu campus.
  • Plan around Sabah-specific academic calendar considerations, as weather and logistics can occasionally affect semester scheduling.

Common GPA Mistakes at UMS

Students sometimes assume that fieldwork and lab-based courses at UMS are graded on a pass/fail basis. Most carry standard letter grades and credit hours, so a poor fieldwork performance directly lowers CGPA.

UMS Grading System

Universiti Malaysia Sabah 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 UMS grade table below. UMS awards degree classifications based on cumulative GPA thresholds, with Class One requiring a CGPA of 3.67 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 UMS GPA calculator above to project your CGPA based on expected grades.

Frequently Asked Questions

How far can one D+ keep UMS students from a 3.50 dean-level term even with strong grades?
On this UMS profile, one 4-credit D+ (1.33) plus three 3-credit A grades averages about 3.18, which is still far below a 3.50 dean-level target.
What planning floor should UMS students use before the official 2.00 line?
Treat 2.30 as your practical floor and 2.00 as emergency territory. This buffer gives one semester of recovery room before graduation-risk pressure becomes acute.
When UMS recovery time is short, which repeats should be prioritized first?
Prioritize the largest-credit low grades first. For example, upgrading one 4-credit D+ (1.33) to B+ (3.33) adds about 8 grade points, usually far more impact than fixing a 2-credit elective.
What grading system does UMS use?
Universiti Malaysia Sabah uses a 4.0-point grading scale. Each letter grade corresponds to a specific grade point value, and your cumulative GPA (CGPA) is computed as the credit-weighted average of all module grade points.
Which UMS grade points are used on this page?
This page uses the following grade points for UMS: A+=4.00, A=4.00, A-=3.67, B+=3.33, B=3.00, B-=2.67, C+=2.33, C=2.00, C-=1.67, D+=1.33, D=1.00, E=0.00.
Is this UMS calculator valid for every programme?
When you repeat a course, only the best grade counts in your PNGK. Audit, withdrawn and vertically transferred courses are left out. Faculty of Computing and Informatics students also need at least 20% in both coursework and the final exam.
