The TERRIBLE TRUTH you did not know about CARRY-OVER(referencing a course)in the NIGERIAN university.
Many students enter universities with a promising academic future only to be marred by the realities of life within their citadel. As a fresher, you are told to be diligent and to ensure you rewrite your failed courses and pass. Yes! This is good but do not PRAY nor give any chance to fail any course. Although failing a course does not mean you aren't Brilliant but some failures occur due to ignorance and lack of adequate information . Some students are being frustrated in school due to their poor academic performance which is rated by their CGPA.
In a FIVE POINTS GRADING SYSTEM(uni.)
1.49-below===pass
1.50-2.39=====third class
2.40-3.49=====second class lower division
3.50-4.49=====second class upper division
4.50-5.0======First Class.
ACADEMIC RATING(A--F)
A=5, B=4, C=3, D=2, E=1 and F=0.

If you score an A In a course, you will be awarded 5 rating as above. This will be multiplied by the course credit unit either 2 or 3 unit course etc to get your final point in the course. E.g If GSS 111(use of English) is a 3 credit unit course and funke scored an A,
Where A=5, and credit unit=3
5*3=15 which is calculated in points,
Therefore funke has 15points in GSS111.
If it's B, then 4*3=12points, if it's C,then 3*3=9points, if D, then 2*3=6, if it's E, then 1*3=3points.
BUT IF YOU FAIL. F=0, then 0*3=0points, you will be required to carryover the course to another level( e.g from first year to second year that is from 100level to 200l.

PASSING A CARRYOVER COURSE IS DIFFICULT because:
(1) LIMITED TIME/ ATTENDANCE : The academic curriculum and course outline is very dynamic. You must attend both your current level lectures and carryover course lecture,do term papers, assignments etc for both and you must also RE-REGISTER the courses you failed . Some universities set a regulation of 70% minimum attendance to qualify for exams in each course meaning that if you are in 200level,you will attend all the classes of the courses/course you failed in 100 level meeting 70% minimum.
This is a HARD task when combined with your current level classes. This brings confusion and desperation in the life of the student. He/she will then source for help either by filling the pockets of his brilliant friend or junior colleague or hiring someone intelligent enough to assist him in attendance, assignments/term papers in the failed course. Some times these students become VICTIMS as prey to University Wolves who pretend to be helpers.
