Evaluation and Grading
The Evaluation and grading system for undergraduate students typically involves a combination of continuous assessment and final exams. Details are explained as follow:
Continuous Assessment:
This includes tests, reports, assignments, presentations, and other forms of evaluation throughout the course. It accounts for 50% of the total module/course mark. This approach helps measure the individual effort and capacity of each student consistently over time.
Final Exam:
The remaining 50% of the total mark is based on a final exam conducted at the end of the module or course. This exam can be oral, written, or practical, depending on the nature of the course. However, some disciplines such like Medicine will have a blended evaluation approaches of their own general guidelines based on the national health education policies and guidelines.

The student evaluation and grading scale bases its foundation on the following general conditions and principles;
A student with Fx shall take supplementary exam, whereas those who scored ‘F’ grade should repeat that course. Such supplementary exam grades for Fx shall only constitutes 50% of the total assessment (i.e. the other 50% shall be taken from the continuous assessment). However, a student who has scored Fx due to disciplinary or cheating case shall not be entitled for supplementary examination but the F grade shall be maintained.
In cases where a student does not have full examination records, the instructor shall record “NG” for No grade. All “NG”s shall be changed to one of the following:
To an “I” (incomplete) by the DC(Department council) in consultation with the instructor concerned for a student who, because of illness or extraordinary circumstances, fails to complete the course assessment;
To a “W” (withdrawn) by the head/Registrar for a student who has formally withdrawn from the program within eight weeks (50% of the semester duration) after the beginning of the semester;
To a “DO” (dropout) by the Head/Registrar for a student who has not withdrawn from a program in accordance with the withdrawal procedures set forth by the University.
Neither “W” nor “DO” shall play any part in the computation of the semester Average Number Grade/Semester Grade Point Average;
A student who obtains a “DO” for a course or courses shall be required to justify the reasons why he/she failed to comply with the withdrawal procedures set forth by the University to the Appropriate DC within six weeks after the commencement of the subsequent semester. Failure to do so shall result in an automatic “F” grade;
If a student repeats a course, the initial credit hour and grade shall appear on the transcript, but be ignored in calculating the SGPA whether or not there is a change in the grade;
All required non-credit work shall be recorded with a grade of “P” (Pass) and “F” (Failure), but neither shall be included in the computation of the SGPA.
