Deprivation (حرمان) and failing a pass/fail course count as a fail. |
| Second Class Honours | 3.25 | No failed course at this or any other university (visiting/transfer included); graduation within the average of the minimum and maximum allowed study period; at least 60% of graduation requirements studied at the graduating university. Deprivation (حرمان) and failing a pass/fail course count as a fail. |
