What are the official degree honours classifications at DELSU?

Delta State University follows the NUC 5.0 scale: First Class Honours (4.50 – 5.00), Second Class Upper Division (3.50 – 4.49), Second Class Lower Division (2.40 – 3.49), and Third Class Honours (1.50 – 2.39). Below 1.50 is the academic warning or probation bracket.

How does a DELSU degree translate to UK and US GPA standards?

First Class (4.50+) maps to UK 1st Class Honours and US 3.70–4.00 (Grade A). Second Class Upper (3.50–4.49) maps to UK 2:1 and US 3.00–3.69 (Grade B+). Second Class Lower (2.40–3.49) maps to UK 2:2 and US 2.50–2.99.

Does DELSU allow rounding up for degree classification?

No. DELSU Senate guidelines evaluate CGPAs to two decimal places without rounding up. A 3.49 remains Second Class Lower and will not be elevated to Second Class Upper.
