Abstract -
We developed a Fuzzy Mamdani Inference System (FMIS) for the assessment of the Academic Standing and Continuation Requirements in Higher Educational Institutions with the objective of identifying early, students who are at risk of failing out. The developed model has three inputs: Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA), Failed Units and Repetition Status and two outputs: Academic Standing and Semester Report. Results show that the model can be used to easily identify and advice students whose performance is going below expectation, to avoid failure and dropout.
