Failure Grade

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

Punishable ofenses

Some Punishable Examination Offences

  • Possession of unauthorized written material in the exam room
  • Copying from other candidates
  • Communicating orally with other candidates during examination
  • Possession of used or unused examination answer booklets in the examination room
  • Having Laptops and mobile phones in the examination room
