UI Directs 226 Students To Withdraw Over Poor CGPA
The University of Ibadan has directed no fewer than 226 undergraduate students to withdraw from the institution over poor academic performance.
The decision followed a meeting of the university’s Senate last Monday, where results for the 2024/2025 academic session were ratified for both graduating and non-graduating students.
The Senate approved that students with a Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) below 1.0 be advised to withdraw.
Consequently, affected students will no longer have access to the school portal for registration.
The affected students cut across faculties and levels, from 100 to 500 level.
The Faculty of Science recorded the highest number with 79 students, followed by Technology with 45 and Agriculture with 35.
The College of Medicine and Education had 18 each, while Renewable Natural Resources recorded 10.
Others include Arts (9), Economics and Management Sciences (4), Law (3), Veterinary Medicine (2), and Environmental Design and Management (3).
The exercise, popularly dubbed “tsunami,” is conducted almost yearly.
In 2018, 408 students were withdrawn. Meanwhile, fresh students resumed physically for the 2025/2026 session on Monday.
