Gradebook Built for Kenyan University Standards

Kenyan universities run three different grading scales depending on the program, standard degrees at 40% pass, health sciences at 50%, and postgraduate at 50%. OpenEduCat ships all three pre-configured, with supplementary exam capping and the Daystar pattern for excluding first-year grades from CGPA.

NotePoints / PlageDescription
A (Excellent)4.0, 70 to 100%Top grade on the KE_STANDARD 4.0 scale. A student scoring 75% in Constitutional Law earns 4.0 quality points per credit hour.
B+ (Very Good)3.5, 65 to 69%A student with 67% in Organic Chemistry lands here. For a 3-credit course, that is 10.5 quality points.
B (Good)3.0, 60 to 64%Solid mid-range performance. Many Kenyan universities consider B the benchmark for postgraduate eligibility.
C+ (Above Average)2.5, 55 to 59%Above the pass mark but below the threshold most employers and graduate programs look for.
C (Average)2.0, 50 to 54%Pass mark for KE_HEALTH and KE_POSTGRAD scales. Standard degree programs pass at D (40%).
D (Pass)1.0, 40 to 44%Minimum pass for KE_STANDARD. A student at 39% fails and must register for a supplementary exam.

Ce que le Module Kenya Fait

Fonctionnalités spécifiques au pays qui vont au-delà du moteur de base du carnet de notes.

1

Three Pre-Configured Scales

KE_STANDARD (40% pass) for regular degree programs, KE_HEALTH (50% pass) for medical, nursing, and pharmacy, and KE_POSTGRAD (50% pass) for master's and doctoral programs. Each scale has its own grade bands and GPA weights. The registrar selects the scale when creating a course, no manual grade boundary setup required.

2

Supplementary Exam Capping

When a student fails and sits a supplementary exam, their new grade is capped at the pass mark (40% for standard programs). A student who scores 65% on the supplementary is recorded as 40%. The transcript shows an asterisk (*) next to supplementary results so examiners can distinguish them from first-attempt grades.

3

Year-1 CGPA Exclusion (Daystar Pattern)

Some Kenyan universities treat first-year courses as bridging or foundation work. When enabled on a course, first-year gradebooks are excluded from the cumulative GPA calculation entirely. This follows the Daystar University pattern where Year 1 grades appear on the transcript but do not count toward the final CGPA.

4

Per-Gradebook CGPA Exclusion

Beyond the Year-1 rule, individual gradebooks can be flagged to exclude from CGPA. This handles remedial subjects, audit courses, and other non-credit work that should appear on the transcript without affecting the student's cumulative average.

5

KAG East Transcript Format

The standard five-column transcript used by Kenyan universities: Code, Title, CR HRS, MARKS, GRADE. Component lines are aggregated into one row per subject. Each semester shows the semester GPA and a running cumulative GPA total. Supplementary grades are flagged with an asterisk.

6

Statement of Results

A single-page academic standing statement showing student details, enrolled course, current standing, cumulative GPA, and honours classification. Useful for employer verification requests and scholarship applications without releasing the full transcript.

7

CAT + Exam Assessment Template

The default KE_STANDARD template splits assessment into CAT (Continuous Assessment Tests) at 30% and Final Exam at 70%. The system computes the weighted average automatically per CUE guidelines.

Politique de Reprise d'Examen

Supplementary Exam (Capped at Pass Mark)

Kenyan universities allow students who fail a subject to sit a supplementary exam. The key rule: supplementary grades are capped at the pass mark. If the pass mark is 40% and the student scores 72% on the supplementary, the recorded grade is 40%. This policy uses the most recent attempt for GPA calculation and shows all attempts on the transcript. The asterisk annotation (*) marks the supplementary grade, while E marks the original failed attempt.

Impact des reprises sur le relevé de notes

  • La note active (comptabilisée dans le GPA) est marquée d'un astérisque (*)
  • Les notes remplacées ou exclues sont annotées avec leur code de statut
  • Toutes les tentatives apparaissent sur le relevé de notes pour une transparence académique totale
  • Les arriérés effacés, tolérés, compensés et exemptés ne bloquent pas l'obtention du diplôme

Foire aux Questions

Questions fréquentes sur le module de carnet de notes Kenya.

CUE guidelines require that supplementary results do not exceed the pass mark. The rationale is that the student had a second opportunity that other students did not. The cap ensures a fair playing field. In OpenEduCat, this is enforced automatically, the registrar does not need to manually adjust grades after supplementary exams.
