After 11years? I hope he is in a place career wise where 2.2 or 2.1 is insignificant to his prospect

3.47 vs 3.52?

One would think that a candidate that had 3.47 was 'fighting' to make a second class upper. As such, he should not only be calculating his CGPA in his head but knew what scores from many courses would tilt the balance. Many students, in your shoes, would discover this 'error' even before convocation.

Have you ruled out a possibility that a typist transferring your grades had not mistaken 74 for 47 somewhere?

We need help. My friend graduated 11yeras ago with 2:2 (CGPA : 3.47). He ordered for his transcript few months ago for his MBA programm and discovered that the school made a mistake. When we recalculate the scores we discovered that the correct CGPA is 3.52 which is second class upper.

Good people of nairaland, kindly advise us on what to do.

Is there anybody that experience this in the past?

Can we still correct this ?

If yes, kindly give us the best step to take please.
He should write officially to the school, copying his faculty, department, records office, the vc, the dvc academics and research, attaching copies of the transcript, he should as well put his contacts, email, phone number on the letters. Sure it will b looked into and corrected, has same but mine was when I went for my certificate @unilag, 2.2 was stated instead of 2.1, I rejected it immediately, and it was re issues months after.

Easier said than done. He should go back to his department and lodge a formal complaint. It will be looked into from there. Plain and simple.

We know that people like you will put mouth to discourage us.

You get mouth to talk Why not start by asking your friend why hadn't he been calculating his CGPA during his time in school undecided
Man why not forget the 2.1 and move on, 11yrs after graduation is a whole lot of time. I don't even know how my degree certificate looks like after my 11yrs of graduation...

Your friend is at best an ignorant fellow and at worst delusional! You fed us with bits of info. and expect us to offer sound advice, impossible! Post the transcript with all the scores and we will recalculate it for you, only then can we continue otherwise you are on your own!

How did you calculate it ?
I am asking this because the department reserves the right to
calculate your cgpa using the courses they prefer i.e elective
or mandatory except your school calculates with all the courses
which is unlikely.

Op, your friend should write to the Registrar of the University immediately and attach photocopy of the transcript.
He should also go and make enquiries. Because he is not supposed to have access to the transcript in the first place. Transcripts are usually sent to universities the applicant request for directly.
He should write now.
And he needs to engage a lawyer.

How did your manage to see the transcript, transcript are supposed to be official document between institutions. Even if your friend decide to take up the case the school will try and cover up their mistake

This is an example of when your village people follow you to school. 11 years nor bi moimoioo. Bros, take it easy but blame it solely on your village people who were watching over you while in school. Take heart.
