GENERAL INFORMATION
1.
Historical Background
The College of Natural and Applied Sciences was established on
the inception of the University in October 2005. The decree that
established the University academic programmes stipulated the
creation of three Departments only; viz.
Department
of
Biological Sciences, Department of Physical and Earth Sciences
and Department of Computer Sciences and Information
Technology.
Within each Department were to be established other teaching
units which were to offer B.Sc. degree programmes. Thus, in the
Department of Biological Sciences, the B.Sc degree programmes
offered were in Microbiology, Biochemistry, Zoology, Botany,
Biochemistry whilst the B.Sc. degree programmes in
Physics/Electronics, Industrial Chemistry, and Geology/Mineral
Sciences were to be offered in Department of Physical and Earth
Sciences. The B.Sc. degree programme in Computer Science and
Technology, Information and Communication Technology are
offered in the Department of Computer Science and Information
Technology.
Based on the above the students were enrolled into the College in
October 2005. Unfortunately, some of the B.Sc. degree
programmes failed to start due to insufficient students intake.
Those that really got started were seven programmes namely:Microbiology, Biochemistry, Physics/Electronics, Geology,
Industrial Chemistry and Computer Science and Technology,
Information and Communication Technology. These B.Sc. degree
programmes are still in operation till the present day.

ACADEMIC REGULATIONS
THE COURSE UNIT SYSTEM AND
GOVERNING THE AWARD OF A DEGREE
REGULATIONS
ACADEMIC INFORMATION
Crawford University runs the course unit system (cus). This
simply means the way courses offered in the University is
quantified in units as well as the quantification of an academic
session into semesters. each academic session is divided into
two semesters. These are: Harmattan semester and Rain
semester each semester consists of 15 teaching weeks and 2
weeks of examinations.
DESCRIPTION OF THE COURSE UNIT SYSTEM (CUS)
The CUS is an operational system in which the entire programme of
courses required by a student for a particular Degree is packaged into a
number of modules each consisting of a prescribed number of credits.
Usually one module is to be offered in one semester.
Thus, the student’s workload in a semester is defined in terms of credits
where one credit represents one hour of lecture or one hour of tutorials
or two to four hours of practical work per week throughout the
semester, normally of fifteen weeks’ duration. Depending on the
programme, a degree programme is normally packed into eight or ten
modules of courses for students coming through the University
Matriculation Examination (U.M.E) and less for those coming by direct
entry or transfer.
27
Industrial Chemistry
MECHANISM OF THE COURSE UNIT SYSTEM (CUS)
(i)
Registration for courses
This is normally at the beginning of each semester. Each department
appoints an Adviser for each student whose duty it is to monitor the
student’s academic progress and advise him/her appropriately as to how
many units he/she should register for in that semester. The University
regulations for a semester stipulate a minimum of 15 credits and a
maximum of 24 credits for full time studentship.
The average number of credits (or workload) is about 20. Other
regulations governing registration such as the late registration and
penalty may be obtained from the Registry.
(ii)
Adding and Dropping Courses
A student may withdraw from a course for which he/she has
registered without running afoul of regulations on registration
and examination only with the approval of the Dean of his/her
College. Permission to withdraw from the course must be sought
by completing a drop form counter-signed by the course
instructor or the Head of Department.
(iii)
Continuous Assessment
This is a feature of the CUS, which makes it unique. It provides
for a continuous evaluation of the students academic
performance in a given course. The evaluation may take the
form of take-home assignment, tutorials, class tests and quizzes,
reports and any such other means as may be appropriate and
consistent with the objective and conduct of the course, as
determined by the department offering the Course. Assessment
of the performance in tests, tutorials etc. will be used in
determining the student’s overall grade in the course and
constitute 30% or 40 % of the overall grade.
TERMINOLOGY
28
Industrial Chemistry
In order to understand the operation of the CUS, the following
are hereby explained.
(i)
Semester: A semester is one half of an academic year as
determined by Senate.
(ii)
Compulsory Course: A compulsory course is a University
course which must be registered for and passed by students before
obtaining a degree.
(iii)
Required Course: A required course is a course which the
student must register for and pass at 40% before a degree can be
awarded but which is not counted towards degree classification e.g.
General Studies, Library etc.
(iv)
Elective Course: an Elective Course is a course which may be
taken to make up the minimum required of units to increase the number
of units subject to the prescribed maximum allowed by the Regulations.
All electives must also be passed at 40 %.
(v)
Pre-requisite Course: A course, the knowledge of which is
essential, prior to taking another specified course.
(vi)
Concurrent Course: Specified courses, which must be taken
within the same semester
(vii) Audited Course: An audited course is a course which the
student attends but in which he or she is not examined
EXAMINATIONS AND GRADING SYSTEM
The issue of Examination is a logical follow-up of the discussion of
registration. The University has a set of Examination Regulations.
a) Pattern of Examinations: Each course shall be examined at
the end of the semester in which it is offered.
b) Measurement of Performance: A student’s performances
in the Course shall be measured in terms of:
(a)
The scores in the continuous evaluation
29
Industrial Chemistry
(b)
The results of the prescribed theory and or practical
examinations in the course
LEVELS OF PERFORMANCE
The grades awarded for a course are as follows:
Mark Range (%)
Letter Grade
Interpretation
70 – 100
A
Excellent
60 – 69
B
Very Good
50 – 59
C
Good
45 – 49
D
Satisfactory
40 - 44
E
Fair only
0 – 39
F
Failure
Semester Performance
A student’s performance in a semester is computed to obtain the Grade
Point Average (GPA). This involves the awarding of credit points in
respect of each course taken during the semester. To this end, numerical
values are attached to the letter grades earlier mentioned as follows:
A
-
5
Credit points per unit of course
B
-
4
Credit points per unit of course
C
-
3
Credit points per unit of course
D
-
2
Credit points per unit of course
E
-
1
Credit point per unit of course
F
-
0
Credit point per unit of course
30
Industrial Chemistry
The GPA is obtained as the ratio of the Total Weighted Grade
points (TWGP) to the Total Credit Offered (TCO) during the
semester. Thus GPA = TWGP ÷ TCO
Cumulative Performance
While the GPA specified above is used to measure the
performance of a student in a given semester, the Cumulative
Grade Point Average (CGPA) is the one that really determines
the student’s overall academic standing and therefore, his
continued stay or otherwise in the University. It is also the
CGPA that is used to classify the Degrees awarded Students in
their final year.
The CGPA is obtained as the ratio of all the weighted points
accumulated since entering the University to the total number of
credits units registered for since coming into the University.
In other words, CGPA is equal to the Total Credit Point (TCP)
divided by the Total Number of Units (TNU) offered thus TCP
÷TNU
All CGPA calculations are to two places of decimal.
Incomplete Grade
When for valid reasons, a student is unable to complete all the
prescribed requirements for a course in which he/she is formally
enrolled, he/she may, on the recommendation of the department
concerned, be awarded an incomplete grade. Such a grade shall
be removed when the department certifies that all prescribed
requirements have been met. But in any case, not later than one
semester after the course.
Academic Probation
A Student who’s CGPA at the end of semester is less than 1.00
shall be placed on Academic Probation during the subsequent
semester.
31
Industrial Chemistry
Withdrawal from the University
A Student who is on academic probation in a semester and fails
to achieve a CGPA of at least 1.00 at the end of the session may
be advised to withdraw from the University.
Release of Examination Results
At the end of each semester, a provisional result of course
Examinations shall be published by the College Secretary soon
after the ratification of the recommendation of the College
Board of Examiners. The Registrar shall publish the final results
of the semester Examinations as soon as the Senate has
approved them.
Repetition of Courses
Any compulsory, elective or required course failed by a student
must be repeated until it is passed, or otherwise stated by the
regulations. A student may repeat only those courses in which
he has obtained a grade of F. The grade earned in a repeated
course shall be recorded and used in the computation of the
GPA, CGPA in the usual way.
Requirements for the Award of a Degree
To be eligible for the award of a Degree, a candidate must
satisfactorily complete the minimum number of credits
prescribed for the Degree. He/she must, in addition, complete
successfully all compulsory courses as well as the special and
free electives for the degree as prescribed. A repeated course
cannot be counted twice in fulfilling the requirement for
minimum number of units.
Residency Requirements
To qualify for a Degree in the University, each candidate shall
normally be required to spend a minimum period of three, four
or five academic years at Crawford University depending on the
programme and mode of entry.

PHILOSOPHY OF THE DEPARTMENT
Industrial Chemistry is the index of industrial development everywhere
in the world. The frontiers of Chemistry are very large, ranging from
one extreme of natural products to those of synthesized by man. The
enormous strides made by man in the understanding, exploration of
nature and synthesis of new products all have their roots in Chemistry
and Industrial Chemistry/ Chemical Technology.
The degree programme is designed in such a way as to provide the
students with a sound, broad, relevant and balanced theoretical and
practical foundation in modern aspects of Chemistry and Industrial
Chemistry to pursue a career in production, management, research and
development in the chemical and allied industries of Nigeria. They are
also provided with broad mental skills for a cutting-edge competence in
design of process methodology and analysis of products, raw materials,
as well as, intermediates. The training will enable the students to
discharge their initiatives in tasking industrial processes/chemical
processes, especially the unfamiliar ones. The intellectually equipped
students will be able to proffer meaningful solutions to any
environmental and industrial problem to enhance remarkable economic
sustenance and development in Nigeria as well as other African nations
and beyond.
The students’ knowledge will however, not be limited to
chemical/industrial processes alone, but will ramify with
environmental, biochemical applied science and technology.
