Note: Examination periods are an integral part of the academic calendar. Students must be available to sit for examinations during the designated period regardless of their individual examination schedules; this includes regularly scheduled examinations on Saturdays. Examinations may be rescheduled (due to inclement weather or some other unforeseeable event) during the period and students will be expected to be present at the newly appointed time.
