KANO UNIVERSITY OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY, WUDILKANO UNIVERSITY OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY, WUDIL

BRIEF HISTORY OF THE UNIVERSITY

The process of establishing Kano University of Science and

Technology (KUST) Wudil started in 1988 when the Kano State

Government set up a Task Force under the Chairmanship of Professor

Ibrahim H. Umar, the erstwhile Vice-Chancellor of Bayero University,

Kano. The Task force submitted its Report in February, 1989,

recommending the establishment of the University. Subsequently, a

Technical Committee was inaugurated in July, 1989 to study, in detail,

the Report of the Task Force. Consequent upon this, an eleven (11)

member Implementation Committee was appointed and assigned the

responsibility for the smooth take-off of the University in October,

1991. However, due to some technical and administrative problems, the

University could only commence academic activities in April, 2001,

with six (6) programmes (Agriculture, Food Science & Technology,

Computer science, Applied Mathematics, Pure Mathematics and

Statistics) in two (2) Faculties; namely, Agriculture and Agricultural

Technology (FAAAT) and Science and Science Education (FASSE)

respectively. Presently, the University runs eighteen (18) programmes

in six (6) Faculties namely; Agriculture and Agricultural Technology

(Agriculture and Food Science and Technology), Earth and

Environmental Sciences (Architecture, Geography, Urban & Regional

Planning and Geology), Engineering (Electrical, Civil and

Mechanical), Mathematical and Computing Sciences (Mathematics,

Computer Science and Statistics), Science (Biology, Chemistry,

Physics, Biochemistry, Microbiology) and Science Education(). This is

in keeping with the Universities Strategic and Phasing Plan and in the

spirit of our Vision and Mission. The first programme accreditation visit

to the University took place in 2005 and all the programmes were given

1

interim accreditation. The subsequent visit in 2007 gave all the

programmes Full Accreditation. Kano University of Science and

Technology, Wudil was among the first Universities to be subjected to

Institutional accreditation by the National Universities Commission

where the University scored B grade, which is interim accreditation for

five (5) years.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF COURSE CREDIT SYSTEMThe University operates a course credit system. The following are the important features of the system.(a) Programme of study:This refers to the aggregate courses registered by a student that is systematically structured to meet requirements for the award of a degree.

(b)Course: This embodies an element of teaching, study and other

academic activities that may consist of lectures, laboratory work,

presentation and or field work. The University uses a system of coding

for its courses comprising three letters and four digits. The three letters

indicate the Department offering the course. The first of the four digits

indicates the level of the course, the second digit indicates the credit

load of the course and the last two digits indicate the serialization.

(c)Credit Unit: Refers to the measure of workload that describes the

student- teacher contact hours per week per semester.

(d) Semester: This refers to a segment of the Annual duration of the

period of study conventionally divided into two (2) semesters; a

semester normally lasts for at least eighteen (18) weeks including

registration, teaching and examination periods provided no less than

fifteen (15) weeks is devoted for lectures each of the semesters.

(e)Session: This is an academic year comprising of two (2) semesters as

determined by the University Senate.

Continuous Assessment:

This refers to the Assessment of the student performance and conduct

throughout the semester. It includes tests, assignments, attendance and

so on. The Continuous Assessment carries 40% and examination 60%.

Grading System:

The University operates a course credit system. The following are the

13

important features of the system.

(a) Letter Grade: Letter grades A, B, C, D; F and (Inc) are used in

assessing each course. The letters are classified as follows.

S/N LETTER GRADE SCORE

1 A 70 – 100

2 B 60 – 69

3 C 50 – 59

4 D 45 – 49

5 F 0 – 44

The Incomplete grade (Inc) is awarded to a student who has completed

all aspects of a course except the end-of-semester examination with

approved valid reason(s). The student's C.A for the course will be

carried forward and the student can sit for the examination in the

following session. Such a student will not need to register for the course

again.

(b) Grade Points (GP): Each letter grade is assigned a Grade Point as

follows: A=5, B=4, C=3, D=2 and F=0. No grade point is assigned to

the grade (Inc)

(c) Points: The points earned in a course are the product of the credit

weight and the grade point. For instance, if a student obtains a 'B grade'

in a 3-credit course, the points are 4×3=12

(d) Grade Point Average (GPA): The (GPA) is defined as the

14

weighted average of all grade points obtained in a semester. It is an

indication of student's performance in the semester. In computing the

GPA, credit weight of incomplete course(s) are not counted. GPA = Total Points Earned per Semester

Total Credits Registered per Semester

(E) Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA): The (CGPA) is

defined as the weighted average of all the grade points earned by the

student from the time he\she joined the program of study up to the time

of computation. Thus, the CGPA gives an indication of the student's

overall performance in the program of study. It is computed as follows:CGPA = Total Points Earned for all Semesters

Total Credits Registered for all semesters

(f)CGPA classification: The CGPA values are classified as follows:

S/N CGPA Degree Classification

1 4.50-5.00 First Class

2 3.50-4.49 Upper Second Class

3 2.40-3.49 Lower Second Class

4 1.50-2.39 Third Class

(g) Probation

A student whose CGPA is below 1.50 at the end of a session will be

placed on probation for one academic session.

(H) Withdrawal

A student whose Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) is below

15

1.50 at the end of two consecutive sessions would be required to

withdraw from the programme. Any student who cannot satisfy the

graduation requirements within two (2) years after the prescribed

duration of the programme (6 or 7 years after admission as the case may

be) will also be required to withdraw from the University.

REGISTRATIONi. Both returning and fresh students must register online with the

University portal (www.kustwudil.edu.ng) at the beginning of each session, based on the guidelines set out by the Senate.

ii. Each student must complete the registration exercise within the

stipulated period.
