Zambia: Students Reprieved

5 November 2009


MANAGEMENT at the University of Zambia (UNZA) has resolved to allow the students who where deregistered from sitting for their first semester examinations due to failure to pay their tuition fees to write.

UNZA registrar, Alvet Ngandu said the students would be allowed to sit for their examinations on condition that they paid a flat surcharge fee of K200,000.

Dr Ngandu said the decision had been arrived at after the vice-chancellor, registrar and the dean of students met with a group of deregistered students to hear their submissions, given the existing policy which they were all aware of after which it resolved to allow them.

He said in a statement in Lusaka yesterday that the students would have to pay a penalty fee of K50,000 for each course failure to which their results would be withheld.
