POINT WEIGHT
The weight of each letter grade. The weight of A is 5, B is 4, C is 3 D is 2, E is 1 and F is 0. (in universities) while in polytechnic A is 4, AB is 3.5 and so on.
GRADE POINT
This the product of the point weight and the credit hour for a given course.
Grade Point = Point weight X credit hour
WORKLOAD
This is usually the sum of all the credit units in a semester.
GRADE POINT AVERAGE (GPA)
Sum of all the grade points earned in a semester divided by the workload.
GPA (GP) = Total Grade Point / Workload
CUMULATIVE GRADE POINT AVERAGE (CGPA)
This is the sum of all the Grade points earned in a session divided by the total workload for that session.
CGPA = Total grade points earned in a session / Total workload in a session
FINAL CUMULATIVE GRADE POINT AVERAGE (FCGPA)
This is the total grade points earned in an entire programme divided by the total workload of the programme.
FCGPA = Sum of all the grade points earned in a programme / Sum of all the workload for the entire programme.
