3. Eligibility for Examinations

Candidates are required to complete coursework before they can be allowed to sit for the University Examination.
Where a candidate who has been barred in accordance with paragraph 3.1 or 3.2 enters the examination room and sits for the paper, his/her results in the paper shall be declared null and void.
A candidate whose work or progress is considered unsatisfactory may be required by the Senate, on the recommendation of the appropriate College, School or Academic Institute Board, to withdraw from the University or to repeat any part of the course before admission to an examination. Failure in an examination, including a session or semester examination may be regarded as evidence of unsatisfactory progress.
