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.
