Grading in any course will be based primarily on academic performance as reflected in a student’s class participation, tests, assignments, mid-term and final exams or papers (most courses will use all these methods of testing).
Whenever appropriate, students may also be graded on tutorials, lab work, research or other special projects. The weight assigned to each form of testing may vary from department to department, and indeed course to course. Attendance and impression/participation in the class may also constitute a serious component of the grading. However, passing all required courses is mandatory to obtain a degree from ULAB.
ULAB follows a unique grading system
| Grade | Evaluation Point |
| A+ | 4.0 |
| A | 4.0 |

| B | 3.0 |
| B- | 2.8 |
| C+ | 2.5 |
| C | 2.2 |
| D | 1.5 |
| F | 0.0 |
Note: I- Incomplete, T-Terminate, R-Retake, W-Withdraw
Explanation of ‘I’, ‘W’ and ‘AW’ grades
I: Students will receive an ‘I’ (Incomplete) grade only if (a) s/he has a chance to get a regular grade (A+ to D) by Submitting incomplete tasks, assignments, or project works assigned by the course teacher, or (b) s/he has appeared in the mid-term examination but not in the final examination (due to illness or other valid reason). Normally, a student will have to complete two-third of the course work to request for an ‘I’ grade. If the ‘I’ is not replaced with a regular grade within the following semester, it will be automatically converted into ‘F’ grade.
W: Students will receive a ‘W’ (Withdrawn) grade if s/he has withdrawn from a course within the time stipulated in the Academic Calendar.
AW: Students will receive an ‘AW’ (Administrative Withdrawal) grade if s/he has been withdrawn from the course by the university authority for academic dishonesty.
