This document has been assiduously prepared with the target of composing a resourceful
Student Handbook which shall serve as an indispensible guide for students of the Department
of Chemical and Petroleum Engineering in pursuing successful academic career during their
studies in the Department.
The document is prepared inline with the Benchmark Minimum Academic Standard (BMAS)
of the academic/engineering regulatory bodies (National University Commission (NUC) and
Council for the Regulation of Engineering in Nigeria (COREN)). The document contains a
lot of very useful information every undergraduate student of the Department needs to know;
such as the course registration, course contents, general registration procedure, course
grading system, grade point evaluation, classes of degree, graduation requirements,
examination rules, suspension of study, punishable offenses, Departmental resources and
career opportunities, just to mention a few.
The document is subject to review as the University or/and academic regulatory provisions
may necessitate, to reflect the exigent changes in the provisions and regulations guiding the
pursuit and award of Bachelor of Engineering (B.Eng.) in Chemical and Petroleum
Engineering, at Bayero University, Kano. I strongly recommend that all students and staff of
the Department of Chemical and Petroleum Engineering take their time to peruse this
immensely resourceful document so as to take to advantage the benefits therein.

3.0 REGISTRATION
3.1 Registration Procedure
At the begining of each academic session a student shall complete all the registration
processes, and submit all the forms to his/her level coordinator. In the case of level 100 and
level 200 (DE) students their registration officer is the Sub-Dean. All aspects of the
registration must be complete within two weeks of the commencemecement of the session.
The following are the guidelines for registration of both new and returning students:
1. All aspects of the registration must be complete within two weeks of the
commencement of the session.
2. Students should consult with their advisors before filling the course registration form.
3. Pre-requisite must be satisfied for courses that require such.
4. New students are required to register 34 credits units including one four-credits of
GSPcourses.
5. All 200 level students are required to register 47 credits including three (3) General
Study (GSP) courses of two credits each, and Student Workshop Experience
Programme (SWEP).
6. All 300, 400 and 500 level students must register for a minimum of 18 credit units per
semester. The number and choice of courses for which a student can register may be
constrained by the Departmental regulation and by time-tabling. Students must
register for all cary-over core courses before any fresh courses. If, owing to failures, a
student entering the final academic session requires to gain not more than 43 credit to
graduate in Chemical Engineering or not more than 39 credits to graduate from
Petroleum Engineering, a student may be allowed at the discretion of the Head of the
relevant programme to register for the minimum additional credits required.
7. If for any reason student could not graduate at the end of level 500, he/she is allowed
four extra semesters within which to graduate. In the case of a student who need to
study for only one semester to meet minimum credit graduation requirement,the
minimum load is 12.
8. A returning students who fails to complete the registration process within the two
weeks period approved for registration shall be deemed to registering late and shall
pay late registration fee as may be prescribed by the University from time to time.
9. A returning students who fails to register within four weeks of commencement of the
registration exercise shall not be allowed to register. Such student shall be deemed to
have withdrawn unless (s)he provides a reason acceptable to the Senate, in which
case(s) can be considered for suspension of studies.
10. A fresh student must complete the registration process within two weeks, failure to
comply within the stipulated time shall attract extra charges or forfeiture of the
admission.
11. Application for suspension of studies must be made to/through the Department, in
time, for such request to be tendered for consideration by appropriate bodies.
12. A student is regarded as registered only when the necessary registration forms have
been submitted to the Departmental Registration Officer. Students are therefore
advised to strictly adhere to the registration guidelines in their own interest.

5.0 ACADEMICS MATTERS
5.1 Course Credit System All Engineering and Technology programmes shall be run on a modularized system,
commonly referred to as Course Unit System. All courses should therefore be sub-divided
into more or less self-sufficient and logically consistent packages that are taught within a
semester and examined at the end of that particular semester. Credit weights should be
attached to each course. One credit is equivalent to one (1) lecture hour (LH) per week per
semester of 15 weeks of lectures or 2 hours of tutorials or three (3) practical hours (PH) per
week of laboratory/studio practical work per semester of 15 weeks.
5.2 Grade Point Average (GPA) & Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA)
5.2.1 Grade point average (GPA)
Grading of courses shall be done by a combination of percentage marks and letter grades
translated into a graduated system of Grade Point Equivalents (GPE). For the purpose of
determining a student‟s standing at the end of every semester, the Grade Point Average
(GPA) system shall be used. The GPA is computed by dividing the total number of credit
points (TCP) by the total number of units (TCU) for all the courses taken in the semester.
Values of GPA range from 0 – 5. Tables 2 and 3 give more details and example respectively,
for evaluation of GPA for a particular semester.

6.0 GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS
The final award and the class of the degree shall be based on the cumulative grade point
average (CGPA) obtained by each candidate in all the prescribed courses and approved by the
Senate of the University. The final CGPA shall be calculated on the basis of the total number
of the courses units registered for during the course of the undergraduate programme. To be
eligible for the award of a Bachelor of Engineering Degree (B.Eng.) in the Chemical
Engineering programme, a student must satisfactorily complete a minimum of one hundred
and eighty seven (187) credits units, for students whose entry level was level 100, and one
hundred and fifty seven (157) for students whose entry level was level 200. To be eligible for
the award of a Bachelor of Engineering Degree (B.Eng.) in the Petroleum Engineering
programme, a student must satisfactorily complete a minimum of one hundred and ninety
nine (199) credits units, for students whose entry level was level 100, and one hundred and
sixty nine (169) for students whose entry level was level 200. See Sections 11.1.7 and 11.2.7
for detail breakdown of the required credit units.
7.0 WARNING, PROBATION AND WITHDRAWAL
The academic standing of a student is determined by the Cumulative Grade Point Average
(CGPA). The minimum tolerable CGPA is 1.50. A student with CGPA below 1.50 will fall
under warning, probation or withdrawal as the case may be.
7.1 Warning
A student is warned if his/her CGPA drops below the minimum tolerable level (CGPA <
1.50) for the first time. This warning is usually in the form of verbal advice, and the student
should be made fully aware of the implication of dropping below the minimum tolerable
CGPA in the next semester examinations.
7.2 Probation
A student is placed on probation if his/her CGPA drops below the minimum tolerable level
for two consecutive semesters. (CGPA less than 1.50).
7.3 Withdrawal
The university uses the term withdrawal to formally indicate that a student has been dropped
from the particular programme (s)he is studying in the Department. Withdrawal from a
Page 13 of 52
programme shall be recommended from the Departmental Board to the Senate through the
Faculty Board on any of the following grounds:
Failure to register within the time set by the University for registration
Failure to pass the probation limit of at least 1.50 CGPA after the probation period.
Failure to sit for the entire examination in a complete semester without any
acceptable reason.
Failure to attend classes for a period which exceeds 30 conservative days except with
an approved reason.
Failure to complete the programme of study within the specified period (semesters)
laid down for the programme.
An eminent failure that a student will not be able to graduate within his/her remaining
period of study, even if (s)he is to register all the remaining credits and pass.
Failure to satisfy any other university, Faculty or Departmental regulation. (safety,
misconduct, character, etc.)
If a student is advised to withdraw from a particular programme, (s)he may seek fresh
admission into the university through the normal admission process. However, if (s)he is
readmitted, (s)he cannot transfer/claim any credit earned from the previous programme (s)he
was withdrawn from.
8.0 SUSPENSION OF STUDY
Students are expected to attend their registered courses regularly and continuously. The
University is under no obligation to repeat course work or examinations for whatever reason.
No degree, except an aerostat degree will be awarded unless the candidate passes all formal
examination concerned. Information on the applicable regulations to the various instances are
provided herein in Sections 9.1 – 9.4. However, further details concerning general University
regulations could be obtained in Part 9 of the Bayero University, Kano, General Examination
and Academic Regulations (GEAR). If a student must suspend his/her study for very
important and genuine reasons while the University is in session, he/she shall submit a
written application at least two weeks before the planned suspension of study so that the
application could be processed and replied to.
8.1 Suspension of Study on Travel Grounds
For travels within the country, a student shall apply to the Dean of his/her faculty through
his/her Head of Department, attaching all supporting documents. Such applications are to be
treated by the Dean on their merit, with the decision communicated to the student, his/her
Head of Department and course lecturers.
a) For travel outside the country, a student shall apply to the Dean of Student Affairs
through his/her Head of Department attaching all supporting documents. The Dean of
Students Affairs shall, on behalf of the Vice-Chancellor, treat all such applications on
their own merit and communicate the decision to the student, the Head of Department
and Dean of Faculty.
Page 14 of 52
b) A student may be permitted to travel out of the country for religious reason not more
than once during his/her programme of study.
c) Where only an examination is involved, the performance in the affected course will be
recorded as „Incomplete‟ and the credit load will not be counted in the calculation of
the student‟s Grade Point Average (GPA) for the semester or the Cumulative Grade
Point Average (CGPA). The student will write the examination when next available.
For a student requiring only such „Incomplete‟ course(s) to graduate, or in a case
where the affected course is being phase out, a faculty may recommend to Senate the
completion of „Incomplete‟ course(s) through the administration of special
examination(s) if such an option is considered feasible.
d) Where coursework for substantial part of the semester is involved, the Faculty Board
shall recommend „‟Suspension of Studies‟‟ for the student. The student shall be
required to take the courses afresh (but not as carry-overs), or undertake alternative
ones (if permitted by the regulations) on his/her return. No GPA shall be computed
for a semester where the student is on suspension of studies. However, if the
suspension is only for one semester, performance in the other semester shall be used
in computing the Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA). Where a student takes
certificated sick-leave, and in all cases where he falls ill during or within a period of
up to 3 days before an examination, he must obtain a sick –leave certificate within 24
hours of the commencement of his absence. If he attends examination during a period
of authorized sick-leave, no subsequent appeal for consideration of failure in the
examination will be entertained.
8.2 Suspension of Study on Health Grounds
8.2.1 Maternity Leave
a) A female student must submit a medical certificate, showing the expected date of
delivery (EDD), not less than 6 weeks in advance of the date, and be can be granted
dispensation from coursework for a period of 12 weeks, commencing 6 weeks before
the (EDD). Incomplete grade will normally be awarded only if the examination occurs
within a period beginning six weeks before the expected date of delivery and ending
nine weeks after the actual date of delivery. A Faculty Board may, at its discretion,
extend this period on receipt of a medical statement indicating exceptional
circumstances. If the expected date of delivery interferes with a substantial part of the
semester‟s coursework, the department concerned shall recommend suspension of
studies for the student. In regulations above the term „sick-leave certificate‟ and
„‟Submit „or „Submission‟‟ will be interpreted as follows:
8.2.2 Sick leave certificate
a) If a student falls sick while residing in the University campus or in Kano Metropolitan
Area, sick leave certificate must be obtained from the University Clinic or from a
reputable hospital. In the latter case the certificate should be an official headed form
