Sir Eke what he's saying is right. The PASS GRADE has been eliminated from Nigerian universities. Meaning our scaling system has been altered. We now operate a 4 point scaling system (according to NUC) Thanks

oduzbaba2015:
@U EKE4OSEVEN God bless you, so with that am confused, i dont understand if uni assist will use new scale 4 or the old scale 5. i want to ear from people who applied for admission for winter 2015, if they use scale for them or scale 5. i willl welcome suggestioins cox am applying for summer semester 2016.

victz:
What I asked was just a question. You answered as if one does not know the importance of abolition of tuition fee. That the issue of accommodation should be looked into does not warrant such response.

ogagaejay:



U are not totally correct, NUC Removed the pass from the nigeria grading system,
Two things I would like to point out
1. This doesn't affect those who have already graduated as it takes effect from this year.
2. This does not affect the grading system in universities. university of ibadan will still maintain her 7.0 system, uniben her 5.0 and the likes.
And I agree with eke40seven as 3.0 still amount to 2.5 in the german grading system. I know of someone with this cgpa in the winter 2015 and unassist.ev said it is 2.5 I won't mention who.
Shalom!!

Eke40seven:
Even if NUC alters it to 10.00, how does that affect his own grading system. Its is the grading system that was used in my time that will be applicable in converting my grades to the German grading system. For instance, on my transcript, all the grading systems that my school have ever used with the corresponding years when it was applicable are all explained on the transcript. The only sthing the school needs to do is to check the applicable year where mine falls under. My school once used the 4.0 system at a point and changed later. Uni assist will use what is available or explained by your school on your transcript. Transcripts comes with the explanations of the grading system used in grading you. Capiche!

Well you're saying this from your own perspective I guess. The fact that schools decide to maintain their grading system doesn't change the nationally accepted standard. Other countries will judge degrees from Nigeria based on the benchmark set by the regulatory body in the country and not by the benchmark of individual universities. It remains to be seen how other countries will judge degrees from Nigeria as soon as the policy comes into effect (those results which will be computed based on the new benchmark).
I believe the guy should contact the school and ask what criteria/scale was used in determining the German grade they gave to him (whether 5.or 4.0).

Lol, this news is confusing to allot of people. I will explain by using a typical nigerian uni that operates a 5.0 scale ambrose Ali uni.

Previous method
4.5-5.0. First class
3.5-4.49. Second class upper
2.5-3.49 second class lower
1.5-2.49 third class
1.0-1.49 pass
Minimum grading unit is 1.0

New system
4.5-5.0 first class
3.5-4.49. Second class upper
2.5-3.49 second class lower

1.0-2.49 third class
Minimum grading unit is still 1.0

Bros Na AAU u con take judge mata? I think u have to contact someone der wen the new session commences cuz ur making an assumption. Mind u I am also an Alumnus of AAU and Still have STRONG ties with the school till date. U are NOT right in the sense that GRADE E has been ELIMINATED Bros. 40% is no longer the pass mark 45% is the pass make now and that's termed a D. @ Bros Eke the forgoing sums up my point pls. So long as the pass mark per course has been changed, everything else changes. I rest my case Sir

ogagaejay:


I can't see where I made reference to the bonded in my quote. Meanwhile, I was trying to explain what NUC Meant by the news. Anyhow, I want you to know 1.0 is still the minimum grading in a 5.0 scale.
Ich sage, meine letzte Abschied zu diesem Thema

number13:
Just 4 parameters are required to convert GPAs in between 2 grading systems: the points for minimum pass marks and the maximum obtainable points. The values of the marks and the point scales are irrelevant.

Pauluche:


Thank you Sir! And that's what has changed in its entirety here. Both minimum and maximum pass marks and obtainable points in this case which happens to be 45% D - 100% A and 1.5 THIRD CLASS to 5.0 FIRST CLASS. So you see the importance of decimal place here. It can significantly affect one's grade when converted to the German scale. I've got nothing to lose on this just saying or for the sake of those who got admitted from 2013/2014 session till date who may be viewing this thread. Wake up brothers and sisters things have changed!

ogagaejay:


That seems correct, 1.5 for AAU minimum grading unit for 2013/2014. Then you should agree, that there is no one system and what is written in your transcript is what is applicable not the 4.0 was you earlier earlier said

Pauluche:


Well I agreed I said 4.0 but technically speaking it is now 4.5 AND NOT 5.0.... This changes A WHOLE LOT OF THINGS when it comes to conversion to the German scale.
Mind you Sire its not only applicable to AAU it is the new NUC standard which took effect from 2013/2014 upwards.

ogagaejay:


That is where u are wrong, I just looked at that for another sch, it was not 1.5, they retained the 1.0

yusufftaiwo:

please try other banks suggested to u ooo especially wen u don't have d luxury of time... It took them 3weeks to process my accommodation fees... D funny thing is dat ur account will be debited 3days after Uve submitted ur form A and It'll take anoda 3weeks b4 dey finally process ur transfer... Run for Ur life...

Franmeme:
No i did not get that mail but the Asian lady asked me when i will do the funding. That was the last thing she asked.

thank you in the rum as per the corrections on the scale 5 0r 4, why am so confused is that there is one of my guy here on the niraland who applyied for evaluation of transcript frm uni assist on scale 5, a university student, 5.00 the highest 1 the lowest, uni assist email him is cgpa was 3.08/5 , meaning after conversion it was 2.9, instead of 2.4sumtin, so the guy told them that his minimum grade is 1 wile 5 is the highest, uni assist said that dough 1 is the minimum but from source anabin say for a degree 2 is the minmum pass mark for a degree na dia allam com blow , instead of 1 dey use 2 knowing fully well on the transcript that 1 is lowest 5 d highest, see film o, what happens in this case, gurus i leav this to u ooo

You are right, that one individual's assessment result caught everyone by surprise. However, for every other person here, 1 was used as the lowest.
You know sometimes sh*t happens.
