University Of Ibadan Adopts NUC New Grading System
Recall as of last year, we posted that the Nigerian University
Commission has mandated that all universities adopt a new grading system which
is the 4.0 grading system see the post HERE. Sequel to the University of Ibadan Senate’s
decision, at its meeting of 18 July, 2016 the New Grading System and Minimum
Units to be registered for and passed by students at each level, as well as
Change in the status of GES courses in the University are as follows:
1. The average minimum units taken at each Level should be 40 units.
2. The minimum units to be passed at each Level by students in order to proceed to the next Level should be 60% of 40 units.
3. All GES courses, with the exception of the “Use of English I & II (GES 101 and 201)”, should be made to acquire the status of REQUIRED COURSES.

4. The 4-Point Scale Grading System should be adopted in order to align with
other universities world-wide and the recommendation of the National
Universities Commission (NUC).
The above implies that the recommended Average Minimum Units expected of the students to take/register for is now 40 units (for the new intakes: 100 Level) as against the old 30 units. Given this development, the regulations guiding withdrawal of students in the University in respect of the new system are as follows:
i. 100 Level: At the end of first year, a student who has passed less than 24 units should be asked to withdraw from the University.
