Supplementary Examination
The supplementary examination will normally take place during the period of make-up examination and will be administered by the Academic Registry or individual departments.
Students who fail a course only due to failure of the end-of-semester or year examination may be allowed to sit for a supplementary examination, as recommended by the Programme in consultation with the course instructor.
Students, including final year students, are allowed to take supplementary examination for a maximum of 1 course per semester and Grade D is the maximum grade for the course after supplementary examination.
For final year students, recommendation to take supplementary examination for any failed course in Semester 2 should be approved by the Senate.
Students who are recommended for a supplementary examination for a course will be notified by email. Supplementary examination timetable for Semesters 1 and 2 will be announced via the BUniPort ("My Examination Timetable") about 1 week before the supplementary examination period stated on the Academic Calendar. Students should login BUniPort to check the details themselves.
