.
That the gradingsystem and the Grade Point equivalent in line with this directive should be adjusted as follows:

CreditUnit will vary according to contact hours assigned to each course per week per semester, and according to load carried by student.
.
Percentage Scores: 70-100: A, 60-69: B, 50-59: C, 45-49: D, 0-44: F. Grade Point Average (GPA) for degrees are; 4.50-5.00 First Class, 50-4.49 2nd Class Upper, 2.40-3.49 2nd Class Lower, 1.50-2.39 3rd Class
