UNISWA results in three weeks

Students of the University of Swaziland can brace themselves for more suspense as it has been established that their final examination results will be out in three weeks' time.

Several concerned students have been calling this publication to establish the date for the release of their exam results at the country’s institution of higher learning.
UNISWA Registrar (Corporate Affairs) told the Weekend Observer that external examiners have already left the country after checking the examination papers.

“At the moment, faculty boards are meeting to discuss and make an assessment of the examination papers. Thereafter, Senate will meet and approve the results. This is going to happen next week, and it is only then that the results will be released. Students must rest assured; they will be informed of the date of the release of the results. We are still processing them,” said Gama.

Senate will meet for a day or two next week, which means the results will be out the following week.

The Registrar further disclosed that UNISWA students behaved very well during the May examinations as not even a single student was caught copying.

Said Gama: “We commend the good behaviour this time. No student was caught cheating in the May exams. However, two students were caught copying during the December examinations at the Mbabane Campus.”

After the release of the results, students who did not do well will have to take the supplementary examinations sometime in July.

The next academic year resumes on August 14, 2008.

It is not clear whether the university will reintroduce the infamous semesterisation programme next academic year.

In April, the Supreme Court of Appeal interdicted the university from implementing the semesterisation programme this current academic year after a protracted legal battle between the Student Representative Council (SRC) and the administration.

However, the Court Order does not restrict the institution from reintroducing the semesterisation programme next academic year.
