Abstract
Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) is a major indicator of students’ academic performance in Nigerian university system and the final class of degree to be awarded to a student solely relies on his final CGPA. The academic entry requirements into the universities are Senior Secondary Certificate Examination (SSCE) grades and Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) points. One may naturally therefore, expect paramount dependency of student’s final CGPA on his SSCE grades and UTME points on entry. This study used multiple linear regression based on ordinary least squares with SSCE grades and UTME points on entry as predictors of final CGPA of students. We also used Pearson correlation to ascertain relationships between each predictor variable and the dependent variable. Results for both methods revealed that final CGPA of students in the university is not strongly determined by their SSCE grades and UTME points.
