Most KU undergraduate programmes require a minimum CGPA of 2.00 to graduate, and several faculties require 2.50 for postgraduate degrees. Always confirm with your department handbook.

Does KU include failed courses in CGPA?
Failed (F) courses carry 0 grade points but their credit hours still count in the denominator until the course is repeated, which is why one F can pull a CGPA down sharply.
