The Academic Affairs Directorate wishes to inform the general public that the Extended Amnesty Programme is currently in its final year. This programme provides an opportunity for undergraduate students whose studentships have elapsed to re-sit outstanding or failed courses and fulfil graduation requirements. The extension, which spans the 2024/2025 and 2025/2026 academic years, is presently in the first semester of its concluding year. Eligible students are strongly advised to take advantage of this opportunity before the programme ends.
