Bridging Course in Mathematics & English

Examination and Grading

Both continuous assessments tests and a final written examination are used in the assessment and evaluation of the student’s final performance. The continuous assessment tests normally contribute 30% of the final score and the written examination contributes the remaining 70%. .The final mean grade for the bridging shall be calculated from the final marks of the five modules.
The final grading is done as follows

Marks	Grade	Remark
0-39	E	FAIL
40-49	D	LOWER PASS
50-59	C	PASS
60-69	B	CREDIT
70-100	A	DISTINCTION

Pass Mark and Method of Re-Assessment

The pass mark for each module is 40%.A student who fails to obtain 40% is deemed to have failed and is supposed to resit the failed module, if the student has passed three or more modules. If a student fails more than two modules, the student is supposed to retake the entire course. Those who fail in one or two modules can sit for a supplementary exam which is normally offered within two weeks of the date that the results are officially released. Results are normally released within two weeks after the final exam to enable students enroll for degree programmes on time.

Admission to the University Undergraduate Degree Programmes

Applicant’s overall grade in the Bridging programme and pre-requisite subject grades for a given degree course will be used as a basis for the selection of candidates to undergraduate degree programmes.
Preference for admission to Kabarak University for a Bachelor’s degree programme will be given to those who attain a minimum overall cumulative weighted average of 50% which translates to a mean grade of C. Other departmental requirements may apply.
In addition to these, the applicant must also receive a favourable recommendation from the Dean of Students as to their character, spiritual growth and commitment and his/her academic potential to study the preferred degree programme.
Applicants should note that a grade of C will not automatically guarantee acceptance of the student to his/her chosen programme since each programme has limited enrolment slots available. Priority will therefore be given to students with the highest cumulative weighted average (CWA) which means that students with the highest CWA will be chosen first and given priority in their choice of specific programmes.
