hmmmmn!!!!!!!!!! dis private universities sef!! d rate @ wich they churn out graduates with 'so called distinction' is alarming!! i'm an engrn student of unilorin and i happen to have a friend frm convenant, studying d same field of engrn wit me. there was a time he showed me one of their exam questions and gosh, i was dumbfounded and stupefied @ how elementary d questions were!!!!i showed him our own exam questions on d same course and he was like; our lecturer told us we were gonna treat dis topics @ Msc level!! i also know of a student dat was rusticated from futminna due to academic inadequacies and started again @ convenant. he is now one of d top students in his department and wen we got talking recently, he was like; 'guy,u dey dull urself for unilorin o!! dem no sabi anytin for hia! dis plc na jst like my secondary school!! person no suppose dey fail for dis kind school. DEM NO DEY SET STUPID QUESTIONS FOR HIA'! i fink a point worth noting is dat d authorities consider d fact dat ts a fee-paying school and they are kinda using d "come to our school and graduate with distintion" ish to entice and attract students to the school. i fink d NUC has to look into this issue. maybe certain rules and guidelines shld be fromulated so as to curb d excesses of schools like dis.

Much ado about nothing; the school is second to none in Nija in terms of Quality and standard of education, The guy made it jare,
In 1998 a UNN graduate made 4.96 GPA, people complained so much but he went to Imperial College London and broke a 125 yr record in their Postgraduate school by making an aggregate of 98.9

I am a Covenant University Student Now in my Final year majoring in Computer Science and Buisness, and my Industrial Training was done with colleagues from ABU zaria and IMSU and even FUTA but my level of knowledge in computing was regarded as a higher level than my "fellow colleagues" and everything I know I learnt in school. So all you ignorant people that spew rubbish about covenant university without concrete evidence should please politely stop your bandwidth pollution and go find a cliff and do a jimmy jatt (jump off). Cos no player hating would ever make you as good as the "socially inept" covenant university students.(full stop)

Re: Covenant University: Accounting Student Graduates With 4.99 GPA by alphonsok: 9:44am On Jul 30, 2011
there is nothing like a gp of 4.99.the school should be sanctioned by nuc and they should probably come out and tell the whole world how they arrive at this g.p before they bring international disgrace to the educational image of the country.every nairalander that passed thru university should tell us how gp is calculated in their school and if it s possible to have 4.99 as overall gp if you have B grade in one of your case.what happened to that 0.01.it must be as a result of grade lower than A grade.this is absolutely fraud.
Re: Covenant University: Accounting Student Graduates With 4.99 GPA by lokobinder: 8:11am On Jul 31, 2011
i agree with some comments about there being no basis for comparison. So many infrastructures and learning aids are unavailable in most state-owned schools. Students have no choice than to learn in abstract instead of hands-on. Universities are supposed to be the cradle of research , development, invention, But the reverse is the case in Nigeria where all that is done is RECYCLING OF KNOWLEDGE (let just one of those critics tell me s/he did not copy/paste someone else's project). What do u expect from students who STAND by the window of an over-crowded class listening to a man deliverying his lecture over a battery-powered megaphone that can barely be heard by ½ of the class. So, why hate someone whose dad could afford a better learning environment? FYI, his dad is also an accountantthat can barely be heard by ½ of the class.

While u r here debating on how come some of the students finish with good grades they are there securing mouth watering job offers.Shiorrrrrrrr.

schools calculate g.p's like this:
A = 5* COURSE CREDIT(1,2,3,4 as the case may be)
B = 4* " "
C = 3* " "
D = 2* " "
F = 0* " "
when this is done , divide the grade point by the credit load offered by the student.
if grade point=150 and credits offered=30 then g.p=150/30= 5.0 (this applies where all courses taken a 3 credit units).

using this standard no matter the credit unit of the course offered all A's and 1B will pull you to between 4.92 to 4.96!!

It's not possible to offer just 30 units throughout his stay in school.

If each semester had a total of 15units, assuming he spent 4years (8 semesters) and at the end of the day he had a 'B' in a 1-unit course then his final cgpa will be

[(119 x 5) + (1 x 4)] ÷ 120

= 599÷120 = 4.991667

Just saying that it's mathematically possible.
