Repeating /External Candidate

If a student fails a total of 10 to 12 credits, he/she will be allowed to repeat the failed courses as an “external candidate”. An external candidate is one not taking the full complement of courses and is therefore reading only repeated courses. He/she will register for the repeated courses only and must pass them within one academic year before progressing to the next level.

An external candidate:

1. Will retain the lower level status until he/she meets the requirements for progression to another level
2. Will be required to attend lectures and practicals, fulfil continuous assessment requirements and pay 60% of the approved University fees and any other fees to be determined by the University from time to time
3. Must pass the repeated courses at one sitting only. If an external candidate fails to pass any of the failed academic performance
4. Must avail himself/herself of and benefit from Academic Advisory and Counselling Services provided by the University.

Students can assume external candidacy only once during their stay in the University.

A continuing student who fails more than 12 credits will be dismissed outright.

Students with the barest minimum C.G.P.A (1.0 – 1.5) at the end of the academic year shall be cautioned by the Director (Academic Affairs) and counselled by their Departmental Academic Advisor. | UCC repeat and sack the following

Special Supplementary End-of-Semester Examinations for Level 400 Students

There shall be a special supplementary end-of-semester examinations to be held in August for students who have completed Level 400 but are still trailing level 400 courses.

Students who fail the special supplementary end-of-semester examination or do not avail themselves of same shall repeat the failed courses the following academic year keeping in mind the maximum number of years required for completion of undergraduate programmes. Such students will be required to attend lectures and practicals, fulfill continuous assessment requirements and pay 60% of the approved University fees for the year. | UCC repeat and sack the following
