Calculating CGPA: Now this is one topic i have been meaning to write and make a video about for sometime now but due to some other activities i had it pending but today is going to be different because i have decided to talk about how you can calculate your CGPA in few minutes. The video would be rolling soonest.

What is the meaning of CGPA?

-Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA)

Tell me more about CGPA:

One of the things you need not to overlook while you are in the higher institution is your CGPA especially as a fresher in school.Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) is an assessment tool used to evaluate your academic performance. That means; this is what determines whether you are graduating with a First class (1st), Second class Upper or lower (2nd),3rd class or Pass.

One of the most brilliant things you should do at your initial instance in school is to know what CGPA means and how to calculate it and this is one of the reasons i advise a lot of students to make their Faculty Brochure their companion so they can get acquainted with it.

How to calculate Your CGPA

I was also going talk about the importance of knowing how to calculate your CGPA but i believe the upper paragraph has given us insight as to the importance of knowing how to calculate your CGPA. I will be using the University of Portharcourt as a case study while you try to implement the understanding you get from here on your school to get your actual CGPA.

Using UNIPORT as Case Study (Please Apply as it concerns your own school):

Below is the University of Portharcourt Grading Pattern: Please get that of your school close by.

Mark/Score           | Letter Notation       | Grade Point

70% & Above         | A                                 |  5.00

60-69%                   | B                                 |   4.00

50-59%                    | C                                |   3.00

45-49%                     | D                               | 2.00

40-44%                     | E                                | 1.00

0-39%                        | F                                |   0.00

 

Degree Classification (Uniport Case Study) Please Apply as it concerns your school

Class Of Degree                         |     CGPA

1st Class                                       |  4.50 – 5.00

2nd Class Upper                        | 3.50 – 4.49

2nd Class Lower                        | 2.40-3.49

3rd Class                                      |1.50-2.39

Pass                                               |1.00-1.49

Fail                                                 | 0.00-0.99

Every course carries a fixed number of credit unit (CU) and note that Quality Points (QP) are derived by multiplying the credits Unit for the courses by the grade Points (GP) earned by the student. For example, in a course with 3 credit Unit in which a student had 72% (A) with 5.00 grade point, the quality Point is gotten by multiplying the credit unit for the course by the grade point ( 3*5=15).

Please endeavor to know the the credit unit for your course of study.

15 is the Quality point the student earned for that course.

Grade Point Average (GPA) is derived by dividing the Quality points for the semester by the credit units for that semester.In a semester where the student earned 56 quality points for 18 credit units, the GPA is 56/18 =3.11

Once you have gotten that; you can look at the class of degree table of your school to know where you fall under for that semester.

Your Total CGPA is gotten by adding the Total Quality points (TQP) to date and dividing by the Total Credit unit (TCU) to date. If the TQP is 228 AND THE tcu IS 68, THE CGPA is 288/68=3.35 and by Uniport Class of degree thats a Second class lower.

Please use the comment section if you have any question to ask and expect a reply. I should post the video soonest.
