Abstract
This study was to investigate the relations of Admission Criteria and Overall Curriculum
Satisfaction on CGPA Academic Performance in college. The research was done in Mekane
Yesus Management and Leadership College (MY-MLC) on adult learners in the regular,
extension and summer degree programs. Questionnaire, containing Background Information,
Close-ended and Open-ended items as well as interview were used to collect data for the study.
Admission and CGPA of respondents were taken from record office. The data collected was
analyzed and interpreted using percentages, means and Pearson’s correlation coefficientan. Ten
factors (parameters) were applied to affect overall curriculum satisfaction. These were analyzed
to see their correlation with each other and with CGPA. The overall curriculum satisfaction was
considered to be the average satisfaction of these ten parameters. The result of the research
showed that the ten factors, affecting overall curriculum satisfaction, are strongly positively
correlated to each other. The overall curriculum satisfaction has moderate positive correlation
with CGPA. The admission criteria, studied separately in two cases, showed that admission by
diploma affects college CGPA weakly while admission by EUEE significantly affects CGPA
