ACADEMIC POLICIES

The following information was extracted from the Statement of Academic Policies document of the University of Port – Harcourt 2012 edition. The Statement of Academic Policies was first issued in 1977, reviewed in 1983 and 1990 to reflect the re-organization from the school system to faculty system and changes in line with the NUC Minimum Academic Standard. the present revision reflects the changes made by Senate of the University between 1995 and 2004. Students should familiarize themselves with this document.

Department Entry Requirement

• Entry requirements shall be same as those stated by the University of Port Harcourt statement of Academic Policies of the University and those of the collaborating Faculties and Departments from which students of the faculty take their teaching subjects. The general entry requirements minimum is five credits at the GCE, SSCE, NECO, or NABTEB including a credit pass in English Language and Mathematics or TC 11 with five Merits, including English. Success in the UTME examination is also required. (See the Jamb Brochure for details).
• Candidates, who obtain a credit level pass in the University of Port Harcourt Certificate Programmes in the faculty or that of any other recognized University, qualify for admission. Such candidates must in addition have credits in five subjects in the West African School Certificate Examination or its equivalents, including the teaching subject of a candidate’s choice and success in UTME Examination. This category of students may also be required to pass the screening interview.

Registration of Courses

• Each student is required to register all courses to be offered during each Academic Session at the time stipulated for registration for the Academic Session, which is usually within the first week of resumption, except where otherwise indicated. Course registration is done on-line. It is the responsibility of the Department (Head of Department and Academic Advisers) to ensure that   all previously failed courses in the programme are re-registered.  Furthermore, the total credit units registered for any Academic Session should not be less than 15 or more than 24 per semester. Students are not allowed to sit for examinations in courses for which they had not previously registered. Such actions are fraudulent.
• Any registration completed after the time specified by the University, will be null and void and will not be credited to the student even when he/she had taken and passed the examination in the course.
• Any genuine request for late registration / adding or dropping a course must be made in writing to the Head of Department only through a form obtainable from the registry and dully approved not later than four weeks before examination.

Grading System

The following system of Grade Points shall be used:

Mark/Score	Letter Notation	Grade Point (GP)
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

Students should sit for examinations in all registered courses. Any student who fails to sit for examination in a course dully registered for without satisfactory reason earns the grade of “F” in the course.

Computation of Grade Point Average

• Each course carries a fixed number of Credit Units (CU); one Credit Unit shows the number of hours a   class meets per week, for one hour credit Unit course, the class meets for one hour per week for one semester. Three hours credit units’ course per week. Means the class holds for three hours either in the class room, laboratory, workshop or field per week.. Quality Points (QP) are derived by multiplying the Credits Units for the course by the Grade Points (GP) earned by the student: e.g. in a course with 3 Credit Units in which a student earned a B with 4 Grade Points, the Quality Points are: 3 x4= 12.
• Grade Point Average (GPA) is derived by dividing the Quality Points for the semester by the Credit Units for the semester: e.g. in a semester where the student earned 56 Quality Points for 18 Credit Units, the GPA is: 56/18 = 3.0.
• Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) is derived by adding the Total Quality Points (TQP) to date and dividing by the Total Credit Units (TCU) to date: e.g. if the TQP are 228 and the TCU are 68, the CGPA is: 228/ 68=3.35. Detailed example of how to calculate GPA and CGPA is as presented in the Table overleaf:

 

Typical Example for GPA and CGPA Computation

First Year, Semester One

Course Code	Credit Units (CU)	Letter Grade	Grade Point (QP)	Quality Point (GP) = (CU x GP)
GES 100.1	3	B	4	12
GES102.1	2	C	3	6
EDU 100.1	2	C	3	6
EDU103.1	1	F	0	0
CHM130.1	3	E	1	1
FSB1OI.1	3	D	2	6
Phy 101.1	3	A	5	15
Total	15		18	46

Calculation of GPA For First Semester:

Total Credit Unit, TCU = ZCU = 15

Total Quality Paint, TQP = ZQP =46

Grade Point Average (GPA) TQP/TCU = ZQP/CU =46/15 = 3.006

First Year, Semester Two

Course Code	Credit Units (CU)	Letter Grade	Grade Point (QP)	Quality Point (GP) = (CU x GP)
GES 101.2	3	C	3	9
GES 103.2	2	D	2	4
EDU 101.2	2	A	5	10
EDU103.2	1	B	4	4
CHM131.2	3	A	5	15
CHM 132.2	3	C	3	9
FSB132.2	3	E	1	3
Total	17			54

Calculation of GPA for Second Semester:

Total Credit Unit, TCU = ECU =17

Total Quality Point, TQP = ZQP =54

Grade Point Average (GPA) TQPITCU EQP/CU =54/17=3..1

Calculation of CGPA at the end of the First year, (First and second Semesters):

Total Credit Unit, TCU = ECU = (15+17) 32

Total Quality Point, TQP = EQP = (46 + 54) = 100

Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) = TQP/TCU =EQP/ZCU =100/32=3.01

• N:B: The following points are noteworthy for GPA and CGPA computation:

Grades obtained in all approved courses of a student’s prescribed programme, excluding audited courses, shall be used to compute the GPA. Where a student has registered more than the allowed number of free elective courses, only the grades obtained in the allowed number of elective courses, chosen in the order of registration, will be used in computing the CGPA. Other elective courses will be treated as audited courses and will not be used in calculating the CGPA.

Where a student was registered for a course but the result is unavailable, due to no fault of the student, no result will be recorded for that course and the student will-register for it in the next academic year.

• When a student transfers from one Department to another, only the grades obtained in the courses in the new prescribed programme of study will be used to compute the CGPA. Courses which were completed before the change of programme and which are not part of the new prescribed programme, will be treated as adited courses.

 

Duration for Degree Programme.

The  degree programme last for a minimum of four academic sessions and maximum of six academic sessions.

Continuation, Probation and Withdrawal, The essential points on the subject matter are as highlighted below:

Continuation Requirement

The continuation requirement in the University is a CGPA of 1.50 at the end of every academic year.

Probation

Probation is a status granted to a student whose academic performance falls below an acceptable standard. A student whose Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) is below 1.50 at the end of a particular year of study earns a period of probation for one academic session.

Limitation of Registration

Students on probation may not register for more than 18 units per semester. The purpose of the restriction is to give the students a chance to concentrate on improving their performance and thus raising their CGPA.

Warning of Danger of Probation

Students should be warned by their Department if at the end of any Semester their GPA falls below 1.50

Repeating Failed Course Unit(s)

Subject to the conditions of withdrawal and probation, a student must repeat the failed course unit(s) at the next available opportunity, provided that credit units carried during that semester does not exceed 24, and the Grade Points earned at all attempts shall count towards the CGPA.

Temporary Withdrawal from Study

A student may apply for temporary withdrawal from study for a period of one year, which may be renewed up to a maximum of 2 years.

Withdrawal

A student whose Cumulative Grade Point Average is below 1.50 at the end of one year’s probation shall be required to withdraw from the programme.

Auditing of Courses

Students may attend courses outside their prescribed programme. The courses shall be recorded in their transcript only if they have registered for it with the approval of the Head of their Department and the Dean of the Faculty and taken the prescribed examination. An audited course shall not be used in calculating the CGPA.

Academic Advisers

Every student is attached to an Academic Adviser who is a member of the academic staff and who will advise him/her on academic affairs as well as on personal matters. Academic Advisers are expected to follow their students’ academic progress and provide counseling to them. It  the duty of the Head of Department to assign an Academic Adviser to each student at the beginning of each session. Academic Advisers should give clear information on their office doors about  times and places at which they will be available to students who wish to consult them.

Classification of Degrees

The degree shall be awarded with 1st, 2nd Upper, 2nd Lower, or 3^rd Class Honors. The cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) for these classes shall be;

	Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA)
Class of Degree	New Students
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

 

General Remarks

All the students admitted into the first year in the Department of Curriculum Studies and Educational Technology must have met the entry requirements stipulated by the University and Department; thus, eligible to pursue the available careers in the Department. The students should be serious with class attendance, assignment and examination in the courses registered for. However, experience has shown that many students relax their efforts in the early years of study, apparently assuming that they would make up the lost efforts in their later years of study. This assumption is false and deceitful.

Here, at the University of Port Harcourt, every registered course (except officially dropped:

• Requires a minimum of 75% attendance to lecture/tutorial and /or Laboratory Practice.

Must be assessed continuously through assignment, tests and examination.

• Must have a grade returned for every student who registered for it, which must comprise of at least 30% from the continuous assessment and 70% from the examination Therefore each course in the programme contribute toward the cumulative grade point average(CGP) with its weight credit units, which may be 1,2or3 credit units ,except for 3rd year Teaching Practice and final year Project whose weights are 4 credit units respectively.

Therefore, for the ambitious student, hard work begins from year 1 and spans through year 4. Failing grades can thwart your ambition. However, hard work according to your abilities should be the focus and not cheating.

Student is advised to completely avoid vices (such as secret cultism and examination malpractice) that will ultimately put them out of humble focus in the pursue of their ambition. They are rather encouraged to -be obedient, Humble and law abiding and to act in such a *er as to achieve their Primary purpose of aspiring for University education. In Nigeria and all over the world top jobs opportunities are usually reserved graduates with excellent or very good degree classification such as 1^st class or 2^nd class upper division .TO qualify to be a lecturer in the University the first degree grade of aspirants should not be below 2^nd class upper and to qualify for admission into a Post- Graduate degree programe at the University of Port Harcourt a minimum of 3.0 CGPA is required.

The 1St class is equivalent to the attainment of at least ‘A’, ‘B’ average (a minimum final CGPA of (5+4)/2 = 4.50) during the course of study. To achieve this, one must earn very few ‘Cs’, say, two or three and more ‘As’ than ‘Bs’ in all the courses. Earning even one ‘E’ grade and/or ‘Ds’ can be fatal.

The 2nd class upper division is equivalent to the attainment of at least ‘B’, ‘C’ average (a minimum final CGPA of 4+3)/2 = 3.50) during the course of study. To achieve this, one must earn very few ‘Ds’, say, two or three, and many ‘Bs’ and ‘As’. Earning few ‘Es’ and ‘Ds’ can be fatal.

The ‘high’ 2nd class lower division is equivalent to the attainment of an average grade of ‘C’ (a minimum final CGPA of 3.0) during the course of study. To achieve this, one must be an average student.

Note:

1. Students should note that all prescribed courses must be passed before graduation. If there is any failed course at the end of the first 4 years, an extra year has to be used to remedy the failed courses. This process is repeated at the end of the 5th year if a course is still not passed. At the end of the 6th year, the student must leave the university with a “fail out”.

2. A student who abandons his/her programme after 4 years will earn a grade of F” for each course being carried over in the 5th and 6^th years. The student will “fail out” at the end of the 6th year.
