Student performance in university courses is of great concern to the higher education where several factors may
affect the performance. Currently the huge amount of data is stored in educational database these database contains the
useful information for predicting student performance. In this paper , the classification rule generation process is based on
the decision tree as a classification method where the generated rules are studied and evaluated. A system that facilitates the
use of the generated rules is built which allows students to predict the final grade in a course under study.
