If you are sure of getting A's in the two courses, then wait.

A in a resit is equivalent to C of a first attempt...because the score will be divided by 2.

A in first attempt is NOT THE SAME as A in second attempt.

No sir.
You need to register for a minimum of 10 credits per semester. In addition to your two courses, you will take other EASY courses from 100 Levels as electives. Like this, you will guarantee your 2-1.

Your adviser likes you but I guess you didn't understand well your options
Then when you divide with the higher number years,don't you think he will possibly land in 2.2?

Standard in your school is poor for you to fail two courses and the HOD negotiating for you not to retake surprised me

I wrote my final exam in July this year, few weeks later I was in Delta when my course adviser called me to come to school (Uniben), that it's a matter of urgency, I went to school, then I meet her in the HOD office. She told me I failed two courses in my final exam. She said the department is going to upgrade one to "grin" then wave the other one to me but by imprecation I will graduate as a 2.2 student.
When, I thought about it if I should accept it or come back again to write the two courses (one in 1st semester and the other in 2nd semester) to get 2.1. it was a hard decision for me to make but then I made the decision to accept the offer because of the following reason.
1. Uniben is becoming too stressful/ I'm already tired.
2. The financial expenses involved
3. Economics department in Uniben is not a joke.
4. The probability of me getting "A"s if rewrite the two courses is very low.
5. ASUU and strike
Based on the following reasons I accepted the offer, result came out I graduated as a 2.2 student but some how I started feeling sad. Though 2.2 is not the best but then I also graduate myself. I can't come and kill myself ( schooling in Nigeria university is like war).
If I may ask, did I took the wrong decision?

In my opinion, you took the right decision judging from the reasons you stated.

Graduating with a 2.2 in Nigerian universities these days is not easy.

You will get a good job depending on what you have to offer. So, develop yourself my brother. It's not the 1st class, 2.2 or 2.1 that matters sometimes.

You can write a professional course (ICAN, CIIN, CIPM etc) to augment your degree.

I wish you the best

Thanks, I appreciate

Go back and get your 2-1, go back and get your 2-1, for the last time go back and get your 2-1. The difference between 2-1 and 2-2 is like Lagos to Maiduguri. I graduated almost 20 years ago and I know exactly what I'm telling you. You are going to pass all those with 2-2 even if they graduate 5 years before you

No.
The trick is to register for electives at 100 levels where you know that you can effortlessly have As.
Let's assume that you have B in the two core courses and you have A in four simple elective courses, your average is still an A.

The guy did the right thing because he knows himself better than us. He did it under a normal condition but failed. I don’t think he will be able to pass it under abnormal condition.

He knows deep inside himself that he took the best decision because I believe this same guy was struggling while in school.

If you have agreed to come back and write the exam those people would have make your life a living hell, that's when you will hear missing script again, they will also question your attendance. The truth is you did not settle for less, you settle for moving forward.
You are now a graduate, now you can look forward to other things in life than school.
Moving forward is where success lies not sticking to one school.
Remember no matter what, we move.

The department is much lineat
The department was not only lineat but was more than generous, because they did not only waved 1 course and upgraded the other but their course adviser also called him, i swear that really got me, that department is really father christmas department

You made the right decision my broda. I was faced with this same dilemma. I never had a carry-over until my second semester final exams. I had to accept the 2.2 and move on. Though, I knew my worth. But looking at the country’s situation and the likelihood of getting a job, I am glad I did what I had to do. Now, I have my masters from a university in the US. Also, working for a Fortune 500 company. So, if you let the talks and what people had say set you back my broda you are on your own ooo. Majority of my folks that does have the 2-1 self, I am in a better position than they are by the Grace if God. So, my 2cent, look past that and plan to make the best of what you’ve got. Cheers!

Anything less than A in the two courses will still land me in 2.2


Failing the two has not caused the damage already

If you were fairly confident of getting the result to make the 2:1 then you should have done the extra year.

But if you knew you had no chance of getting two As then you made the right decision.
Re: Accept 2.2 Or Have A Spilled Over For You to get 2.1 by kolaaderin: 1:41pm On Sep 22, 2021
Your decision is very flaw. Just 2 courses to retake and you can't give it all you have got. Those lecturers in charge are human.
You are supposed to give your best in reading your ass out, pray for Gods help and be friend to the lecturer letting them know what is at stake. Even your HOD could help in monitoring your progress.
Now you left a 2.1 that could still be yours for a 2.2 you settled for less man.
This should have been your target and you will be happy for a life time without regret.

Well the did is done, class of degree is not a yardstick for progress in Life as they say. Wish you all the best and don't let it troubles your mind.

What works for you might not work for me but I will tell you that in 2004 I choose the same path and went about my life humbly.

My life is better off today,immediately our final grade was released i started looking at certifications and other additional things I could learn to upgrade myself and it paid off,also surrounded myself with people who have what I needed at the time too.

I have changed job 5 times in IT infrastructure industry and hoping to go solo soon.
Unfortunately in Nigeria of today you need twice effort to get noticed with such grades if you are thinking of securing jobs if at all there is any at the moment.

Open your eyes to opportunities even those beyond here. You can even get a full scholarship to school abroad but 2-2 will never get. Yes you stayed 1 year because Nigeria has lesser and lesser opportunity as more and more hopeless population is generated by northern Nigeria. And the course you read also matters, if you are in STEM then you got too much possibilities open to you, but even in other area you look out
