The President of the Presbyterian University College, Rev. Professor Emmanuel Adow Obeng, has announced that students who indulge in examination malpractices would be dismissed notwithstanding the magnitude of the offence.
The President of PUCG gave the strong caution to the students at the 2015 Matriculation of the freshers held at the Asante Akyem Campus of the University on 14th November, 2015.
He noted that the Examination Malpractice destroys the credibility of the University’s examinations and undermines the integrity of the University.
Few occurrences in the past have attracted punishment of rustication of students and cancellation of papers. But the President said “I wish to serve notice once again that from this academic year, any examination malpractice, no matter its magnitude will attract the punishment of dismissal”.
On rules of progression, a student shall repeat a year if he/she fails more than three courses or has a CGPA less than 1 at the end of the Second Semester after Resit examinations. This policy of the University will be enforced strictly starting this academic year.
The students were advised to attend lectures punctually and actively participate in classes and also cultivate the habit of utilizing available university resources of library, chaplaincy and life values promotion centre, and seek help from their lecturers.
