Each table comes from a document GradeCat opened on 4 November 2026, and says where in that document its rules are.
University of Ghana grading scale
From UG's Regulations for Junior Members, September 2017, sections 9.20 and 9.21. The same nine grades appear on a UG course page and in the College of Humanities FAQ. Status: confirmed on 4 November 2026.
| Marks | Grade | Grade point | Result |
|---|---|---|---|
| 80 to 100 | A | 4.0 | Pass |
| 75 to 79 | B+ | 3.5 | Pass |
| 70 to 74 | B | 3.0 | Pass |
| 65 to 69 | C+ | 2.5 | Pass |
| 60 to 64 | C | 2.0 | Pass |
| 55 to 59 | D+ | 1.5 | Pass |
| 50 to 54 | D | 1.0 | Pass |
| 45 to 49 | E | 0.5 | Failure grade that may still satisfy a prerequisite |
| 0 to 44 | F | 0 | Fail |
Every grade counts in the GPA over its credits, E and F included. The bands are printed in whole marks, and the regulations, as GradeCat's research read them, do not say how a fraction of a mark is rounded.
Class of degree at UG
From section 9.31 of the same regulations. The class comes from the FGPA. Status: confirmed on 4 November 2026.
| FGPA | Class of degree |
|---|---|
| 3.60 to 4.00 | First Class |
| 3.00 to 3.59 | Second Class Upper |
| 2.00 to 2.99 | Second Class Lower |
| 1.50 to 1.99 | Third Class |
| 1.00 to 1.49 | Pass |
| 0.00 to 0.99 | Fail |
FGPA level weights
Section 9.31(b): "The GPAs from Levels 100 to 400 shall be weighted as follows: 1:1:2:2". Status: confirmed on 4 November 2026.
| Level | Weight in the FGPA |
|---|---|
| Level 100 | 1 |
| Level 200 | 1 |
| Level 300 | 2 |
| Level 400 | 2 |
Good standing needs a CGPA of at least 1.00, and there is no probation (sections 9.25 and 9.26).
KNUST class of degree on the CWA
From KNUST's regulations, amended version of 2003, section 12, and its Department of Chemical Engineering. KNUST's CWA averages percentage marks weighted by credits, not grade points. Status: confirmed on 4 November 2026.
| CWA | Class of degree |
|---|---|
| 70 and above | First Class |
| 60 to 69.99 | Second Class Upper |
| 50 to 59.99 | Second Class Lower |
| 45 to 49.99 | Pass |
Graduation needs a CWA of at least 45 (section 12), and a CWA of 40.00 to 44.99 means probation (section 10B).
WASSCE grades in aggregates
From UG's regulations ("Minimum Aggregate", page 38) and a UCC programme page. Confirmed for UG and UCC. An aggregate adds the numbers of six subjects, so lower is better. Status: confirmed on 4 November 2026.
| Grade | Number in an aggregate | Counts as |
|---|---|---|
| A1 | 1 | Credit |
| B2 | 2 | Credit |
| B3 | 3 | Credit |
| C4 | 4 | Credit |
| C5 | 5 | Credit |
| C6 | 6 | Credit |
| D7 | 7 | Pass |
| E8 | 8 | Pass |
| F9 | 9 | Fail |
KNUST's Computer Science department counts C4, C5 and C6 as 4 each and does not accept D7 or E8, so a KNUST aggregate can differ. Whether all of KNUST does this is not verified.
Status of each rule
