The following terminologies and abbreviations are commonly used in the computation of students’ results throughout their four/five years stay in the University.

This is the total number of course units carried by a student in a particular semester. It is the summation of the load units on all courses carried during the semester, for example, a student who is taking 8 courses of 2 units each has a T.L.U. of 8 X 2 = 16for that semester.

This is the summation of total load units over all the semesters from the beginning to date. A student who is prone to repeating courses will finish (if he/she does not drop out) with a higher C.L.U. than his non- repeating colleagues, and will most likely require a longer time to complete requirements for the award of a degree.

This is the sum of the product of course units and rating in each course, for the entire semester. For example consider a student who took 6 courses of 3 units each, suppose the grade he/she obtained in the six courses were A, B, C, D, E and F respectively. The TCP of this student unit X grade point 3x5+3x4+3x3+3x2+3x1 +3x0= 15+ 12+9+6+3+ = 45. 0

This is the Total Credit Points (TCP)m divided by the total load unit referred to in section (iii), T.C.P. is 45.0 and (i.e. 6 courses of 3 units each for the semester, GPA is therefore 45/18 = 2.50. The highest possible be earned is 5.00 and that is when a student has earned “A” grade in every course during the semester. The lowest G.P.A. obtainable is 0.00 signifying "F" grade all through

First Class 4. 50 – 5. 00

Second Class Upper Division 3. 50 – 4. 49

Second Class Lower Division 2. 40 – 3. 49

Third Class Division 1. 50 – 2.39
