Consequence of not meeting 0.375 FTE for Graded results in 2020

• 1. Final Year = 2020 (For admission in 2021 and beyond)

GPA = ((F-1Y2019 GPA x 2) + (F-2Y2018 GPA x1)) / 3

• 2. Final Year = 2021 (For admission in 2022 and beyond)

GPA = ((FY GPA2021 x 3) + (F-2Y2019 GPA x 1)) / 4

• 3. Final Year = 2022 (For admission in 2023 and beyond)

GPA = ((FY GPA2022 x 3) + (F-1Y2021 GPA x 2)) / 5
