The decision, which was made during an Academic Board meeting on September 20, 2024, has caused dissatisfaction among students. Many voiced their frustration, particularly about the delay for Level 100 students.
Some students expressed concerns about the financial burden of raising funds for tuition only to face delayed exams. “We can’t raise this huge amount of money then at the end of the day we begin to fail our exams,” said one student. Others questioned the reasons behind the postponement, saying, “Why is the school treating us like this?”
This shift in reopening dates has led to a disagreement between the university‘s management and students, with many feeling misled about the original timeline.
