FUTO ACADEMIC PROGRAMMES
STRUCTURE:
- Programmes of courses are provided in each school leading to Bachelor Degree
- Instruction shall be by courses evaluated in terms of course units. A course unit is defined as a series of about fifteen one-hours lecture or series of about forty-five hours of laboratory work, or any equivalent work load, offered over one semester of 15 weeks. The following terms shall apply in evaluation:
- Grade Point (GP) – the Grade Point derives from the actual percentage, raw score for a given course; the raw score is converted into letter grade (A to F) and a grade point (5 to 0).
- Total Grade Point (TGP) - this derives from multiplying the grade point by the unit per course.
- Total Number of Unit (TNU)- this is obtained by adding up all the units taken by the student in the semester
- Grade-Point Average (GPA)- Performance in any semester is reported in Grade Point Average. The GPA is obtained by multiplying the GP attained in each courses by the number of Unit assigned to that course and then summing these up and dividing by the total number of units taken for the semester.
- Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA)- this is the up-to-date mean of the Grade Point earned by the student in a programme of study. It is an indication of the students overall performance at any point in training programme. To compute the CGPA, total GP multiplied by the trespective Course Unit for all the semesters are added and then divided by the total number of unit for all courses registered by the student.
