Result Data Analysis

of Terms
·
Carry
Over: When one fails a course, it
leads to carry over. It means the student will have to sit for that course in
the following session. In most schools when you fail a course, it will affect
your GPA for that semester. When you sit for the course in the following
session, it will add to your workload.
·
Missing
Script: a missing script is a situation
whereby your exam script for a particular subject was not found. It is expected
that you sit for the course again. In some school such result is considered as
a fresh exam and it will not have a direct effect on the semester. But some
school will take it as carry over. However make sure you don’t have a carry
over or a missing script because it will slow you pace in academics
acceleration.
· Letter
Grades: They are alphabet from A to F representing grade obtained in a
particular subject.

· Grade
Point (GP): This is the product of the point weighing and the credit hour(s) for
a/any given course. See example below. GP = PW x CH Note: PW = point weighing,
CH = credit hours.
· Grade
Point Average: It is the sum of grade point divided by the sum of credit hour
(workload), which is the average performance
GPA - TPG
TCH
·
Cumulate
Grade Point Average: This is the average, GPA for the two semester in a session.

Calculation
of Final Cumulative Grade Point Average (FCGPA)
To calculate the FCGPA, add all the
CGPA and divided by the numbers of years if a student of a university has the
following CGPA: 4.00, 3.85, 5.0, 4.50, then the FCGPA will be calculated as
follows
FCGPA
= 4.00 + 3.85 + 5.00 + 4.50
4
= 17.35 =
4.33
4
For a University student this grade is
Second Class Upper Division. (See page……… for polytechnic and College of
Education) Note for Polytechnic and College of Education will be divided by two
for ND and HND and by three for NCE.
Direct Entry Students
A University direct entry student is
either three or four years as the case may be. Thus the calculation for FCGPA
for a direct entry student will be according to the numbers of years. Example
3 years
4.00 + 3.85 + 5.00
3 = 4.283
4 years
5.00 + 4.00 + 4.00 + 5.00
4 = 4.50
