A student could interrupt his/her programme for whatever reason for a maximum pe¬riod of one year. but he/she must be granted permission by his/her Dean through his/her Head of Department. Such request for interruption of the programme will normally be granted within the first four (4) weeks of the start of the semester.

Where the interruption is for one semester, the student shall be required to satisfy the requirement for that semester before he/she proceeds to the next semester. A first year student shall have completed the requirements for his/her first year studies before exercising the right to defer his/her programme.

However, a first year student may be granted permission to defer his/her programme on medical grounds on the recommendation of the Senior Medical Officer.
