Students' Union Update: Suspension of "No School Fees, No Examination" Policy for Week One

In a significant win for the student body, the Students' Union has successfully negotiated a temporary reprieve regarding the enforcement of tuition fee payments. Following extensive dialogue with the University Management, the stringent "No School Fees, No Examination" policy has been suspended specifically for the first week of the 2025/2026 First Semester Examinations.

This extension serves as a vital grace period, allowing students who are currently facing financial constraints to participate in their scheduled papers while they finalize their fee payments. The Union emphasizes that this is a compassionate intervention by Management to ensure that no student is academically disadvantaged due to temporary financial delays.

Directives for Heads of Departments (HODs)
To ensure this policy is implemented uniformly across all faculties, the Management has issued a formal directive to all Heads of Departments. HODs are instructed to grant access to all students for examinations taking place within the first week, regardless of their payment status.

Furthermore, HODs are encouraged to facilitate the release of previous semester results. This initiative is intended to help students gauge their current academic standing and Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA), allowing them to make informed decisions regarding their studies and take corrective measures where necessary before the session advances further.

ID Card Collection and Regularization of Fees
While the examination policy has been relaxed for the opening week, students are urged not to be complacent. The Students' Union strongly advises all affected individuals to use this window to settle their outstanding balances to avoid complications in the second week of examinations.

Additionally, students are informed that the collection of permanent University Identity Cards is ongoing. Those whose cards are ready should proceed to the Assembly Hall to pick them up. Having a valid ID card remains a core requirement for identification and security within the examination halls.

Final Encouragement for the 2025/2026 Session
The Union expresses its deep appreciation to the University Management for their empathy and responsiveness to the students' plight. Students are encouraged to maintain high standards of conduct throughout the examination period and to focus on their academic performance.

Success in these examinations is a collective goal, and the Union remains committed to advocating for the welfare and interests of every student.
