The Downside of obtaining Supplementary, E and referral grades

• A supplementary (SUPP) means a re-sit the following term. Students are allowed one re sit only.
• 2 E grades attract an academic warning letter from the Deputy Principal Academics
• 3 E grades in one term lead to expulsion from the course
• The E and SUPP grades are NOT deleted from the transcript after clearance
• There will soon be a fee for re-sitting examinations

Some Punishable Examination Offences

• Copying from other candidates
• Communicating orally with other candidates during examination
• Possession of used or unused examination answer booklets in the examination room
