Important Note:

 

*  Do NOT be absent for the in-term exams because there will not be any make up exams. If you have an extreme medical reason for being absent, you will need to present official verification from a government hospital of your medical situation, and then each individual case will be dealt with accordingly. If the leave is approved, the make-up exam will take place at the end of the semester, and will include ALL the chapters covered during the whole semester.

*  If a student misses both in-terms, the make-up exam will cover the mark of ONE exam only (i.e. 25 marks only).
