F. Missed Examinations
1.
A candidate who misses an
examination as the result of a genuine mistake about the scheduled
time of the examination may be considered for a Special Pass. A
candidate wishing to be so considered must, within 72 hours
(excluding weekends and statutory holidays) after the starting time
of the missed examination, submit a completed statutory declaration
to the Associate Registrar (International/Student Services) and report to the Head of Department/School which set the
examination paper.
2.
If the Head of
Department/School is satisfied that the candidate's work in the
course and results in other courses are substantially above minimum
pass standard, the Head of Department/School may recommend to the
Dean of the Faculty that a Special Pass (S) be awarded by the
Faculty at its examiners' meeting. To assist in coming to a
decision, a Head of Department/School may require the candidate to
take a special test or examination.
3.
A candidate may be given only
one Special Pass in his or her university career, at this
University.
