How To Calculate CGPA In Nigerian Universities

Grade Point (GP): This is the product of the point weighing and the credit hour(s)/unit for any given course. See example below.
GP = PW x CH, PW = point weighing, CH = credit hours.



UNIVERSITY CLASS OF DEGREE
FC GPA         CLASS OF DEGREE
4.50-5.00         1st Class
3.5-4.49            2nd Class Upper
2.50-3.49          2nd Class Lower
1.50-2.49          3rd Class
1.00-1.49          Pass
0.-0.99               Fail

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 (CGPA): This is the average, GPA for the two semester in a session.
GPA  =   1 Semester GPA + 2 Semester GPA

Core Course
These are courses that must be offered and passed by all students in any undergraduate programme.

Elective Course
These are course which can be registered only under the advice of the academic adviser as require courses, and must be passed by a student  in order to graduate.

Work Load
A student is normally in any one academic year allowed to register for at least 30 credits and at most 48 credits depending on your institutions. You can’t be credited more than 48 credits (or the maximum credits) at the session. Consequent to this, students carry over courses cannot be allowed to register more that approved maximum number or unit for the session. Without prejudice to the above, a graduating student may register for only the number of credit he/she requires to graduate.

            Total=21                                Total=84


Computation of GPA & CGPA 2nd Semester
Course  Credit   Letter   Point       Grade
code.       Unit.   grade.  weight.       point
GST107      2            B            4             2x4=8
GST104      2            B            4             2x4=8
ICH102       3           A            5             3x5=15
PHY102      3           A            5             3x5=15
BIO102       3           A            5             3x5=15
CEE112       3           C            3             3x3=9
MAT102      3           D           2             3x2=6
              Total=19                            Total=76

First semester
GPA  –   84   =  4.00
21

Second semester
GPA       =  76/19  = 4 . 00
CGPA  =  1 GPA + 2 GPA
2
=             4.00 + 4.00   =  4.00

Case of carry over/missing script
The course that is carried over to the following year will be entered along side with other causes in that very year/Level, and the treated like other courses.

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
