B.Eng. Programme UTME(5 yrs )- Direct Entry Direct Entry (3
100 Level (4yrs)-200 Level yrs)-300 Level
Degree Classifications
The determination of the class of degree shall be based on the Cumulative Grade Point
Average earned at the end of the Programme. The GPA is computed by dividing the
total number of credit points (TCP) by the total number of units (TNU) for all the courses
taken in the semester. The CGPA shall be used in the determination of the class of
degree as summarized in Table below.
8
(ii) Have passed all courses registered in their current university before seeking the
transfer.
(iii) Having a minimum CGPA of 4.00 out of 5.00 or 3.00 on a scale of 4.00.
(iv) Transfer cases can only be entertained up to and not beyond 300L.
Notice: In all cases, admission is purely based on:
(a) Available vacancies
(b) The number of candidates applying for admission.
Furthermore, Students who transfer from other universities shall be credited with only
those courses deemed relevant to the Programmes, which they have already passed
prior to their transfer. Such students shall however be required to pass the minimum
number of units specified for graduation for the number of sessions he/she has spent
in the Faculty; provided that no student shall spend less than two sessions (4 semesters)
in order to earn a degree. Students who transfer for any approved reason shall be
credited with those units passed that are within the curriculum. Appropriate decisions on
transfer cases shall be subjected to the approval of Senate on the recommendation of the
Faculty.
(b) the pre-requisite courses for the higher level courses have been passed.
Withdrawal
A candidate whose Cumulative Grade Point Average is below 1.50 at the end of a
particular year of probation should be required to withdraw from the University.
However, in order to minimize waste of human resources, consideration should be given
to withdrawal from Programmed of study and possible transfer to other Programmed
within the same University.
Additionally, any student who fails to register and sit for examinations in any of the
sessions without any approval shall be deemed to have withdrawn himself/herself
voluntarily at the end of the session.
Grading of courses shall be done by a combination of percentage marks and letter grades
translated into a graduated system of Grade Point Equivalents (GPE). For the purpose of
determining a student’s standing at the end of every semester, the Grade Point Average
(GPA) system shall be used. The GPA is computed by dividing the total number of
credit points (TCP) by the total number of units (TNU) for all the courses taken in the
semester. The credit point for a course is computed by multiplying the number of units
for the course by the Grade Point Equivalent of the marks scored in the course. Each
course shall be graded out of maximum of 100 marks and assigned appropriate Grade
Point Equivalent as in Table below.
10
The total number of units (TNU) is simply the arithmetic addition of the unit weights of all the
courses under consideration.
Total Grade Point (TGP)
The raw score obtained by each student in any course is converted to grades and subsequently
to Grade point (GP) as follows:
%Score Grade Grade Point
70 – 100 A 5
60 – 69 B 4
50 – 59 C 3
45 – 49 D 2
0 – 44 F 0
The Total Grade Point (TGP) for each student is obtained by multiplying the Grade Point earned
by the Student in that course by the units assigned to that course, and summing over all the
courses registered by the student in that semester.
Grade Point Average (GPA)
Performance in any semester is reported in Grade Point Average. This is the average of
weighted grade points earned in the courses taken during the semester. The Grade Point
Average is obtained by multiplying the Grade Point average in each course by the
number of Credit Units assigned to that course, and then summing these up and dividing by the
total number of Credit Units taken for the semester. The Grade Point Average (GPA) is simply
equal to the quotient of TGP and TNU, i.e.
GPA = TGP
TNU
Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA)
This is the up-to-date mean of the Grade Points earned by the student in a Programme of
study other than the first semester in the Programme. It is an indication of the student’s
overall performance at any point in the training Programme. To compute the Cumulative
Grade Point Average, the total of Grade Points multiplied by the respective Credit Units for
all the semesters are added and then divided by the total number of Credit Units for all
courses registered by the student.
11
A minimum CGPA of 1.50 is required for graduation. In order to obtain an overall pass in the
examination in any year of study, a student is required to maintain a CGPA of at least 1.50 to be
in “good academic standing”, student whose CGPA falls below 1.50 at the end of year of study
shall be placed on probation. A student who remains on probation for two semesters and who
fails to attain the status of “good academic standing” at the end of consecutive that year of study
shall be withdrawn from the programme of study.
EVALUATION
Techniques of Student Assessment
(a) Practical
By the nature of the Engineering discipline, laboratory practical are very important in
the training of the graduates. To reflect this importance of practical work, a minimum
of 9 hours per week (3 credits) should be spent on students’ laboratory practical.
Furthermore, it is very important to determine performance of the student in the
practical component of the Programme. To achieve this, all the laboratory
practical have been lumped together to form a course which the student must pass. It
is expected that the weighting given in the various courses is reflected in number and
nature in the design of the experiments. These practical must follow the trend in the
current development of the Programmes.
(b) Tutorials
There should be one hour of tutorial for every four hours of lecture. Thus a course
of one credit unit should comprise 12 hours of lecture and 3hours of tutorials.
(d) Examinations
In addition to continuous assessment, final examinations should normally be given
for every course at the end of each semester. The final grade should be based on the
following breakdown, subject to section 1.5.1 (c) of this document:
12
A student who registered for a course but fail to take the examination without approval is
deemed to have failed the course.
EXAMINATIONS
Examinations are normally held at the end of each semester. Examinations may take the form of
written papers, oral examinations, practical, the submission of projects, any combinations of
these, or any other form approved by the senate. The continuous assessment of course work is
normally included in determining examination results.
Eligibility
In order to be admitted to write any examination, a student must have registered the course to be
examined and must have fulfilled all university requirements concerning residency, fees and
others that may be specified from time to time. He/she must also fulfill all departmental
requirements regarding satisfactory completion of any course-work, practical, assignments,
projects or other matters.
A student with a genuine medical case may apply for To-Take (ToT) for examination(s) in course(s)
missed if the University Medical Centre authenticates the student’s claim. However, when approval is
granted the Student will be allowed to write the examination during the next available opportunity.
Furthermore, any student having ill-health challenge is advised to seek for medical attention in any
government approved hospital or clinic. Thereafter, such case(s) must be reported to the Head of
Department in writing at least 24 hours before the scheduled examination.

DEPARTMENT OF CHEMICAL ENGINEERING
WELCOME ADDRESS
This second edition of the student handbook has been designed to provide every bit of
information concerning courses registration for each Semester of an Academic Session as well as
the detailed regulations regarding admission requirements; academic regulation and the
Departmental Staff whom any student could approach for necessary guide or assistance. The
handbook is also a fulfillment of the basic requirements of the NUC/COREN accreditation,
which the department must meet in order to keep abreast of the current curriculum development
and update. The student (fresh or old) is advised to make the book a necessary companion to
avoid registering the wrong Courses and having excess credit Loads. The University is endowed
with a multiplicity of Professional Societies, e.g. Nigerian Society of Engineers (Student
Chapter), and the Nigerian Society of Chemical Engineers (NSChE) and religious groups to
which the Student could find convenient to belong instead of searching for banned secret cults or
Societies. The student is cordially invited to discuss his/her problem with Academic Adviser
attached to his/her Level or with the Head of department because we believe that peaceful
dialogue is a panacea to most problems:
