Navigating Academic Warning

Students who earn a GPA below 2.00 in either Semester I or II will receive an academic warning. As a result, they will be unable to register for the following semester until they obtain the required PIN after meeting with an academic advisor. 

Please watch the video below for guidance on Student Handbook regulations, obtaining registration pins and counselling for students on academic warning.


Kindly be reminded of the following regulations in the Student Handbook:
 

Regulation 29

a. A student whose Semester Grade Point Average is less than 2.00 will be deemed to be performing unsatisfactorily and will be placed on Warning.

b. A student on Warning whose Semester Grade Point Average remains below 2.00 will be Required to Withdraw from the Faculty.

 

Regulation 34

A student Required to Withdraw from one Faculty:

a. may register immediately in another Faculty, if, in the opinion of the student and the Dean of the receiving Faculty, this is desirable and the student satisfies that Faculty’s entry requirements;

b. will be required automatically to withdraw from the University if not granted registration in another Faculty;

c. may not register in the ensuing Academic Year for any courses in the Faculty from which they were Required to Withdraw; and

d. if readmitted and Required to Withdraw for a second time, will not be considered for readmission until a minimum period of five years has elapsed.
