Deferment

If a student is not able to continue with their studies for any particular reason he/she is allowed to defer to another Session. The university allows students to defer their studies on the following grounds

• Sickness.
• Maternity/Paternity
• Bereavement
• Lack of fees
• Any other valid reason that is subject to approval by the coordinator

In the case of illness and maternity/paternity, a medical officer or any certified medical practioner will make a recommendation to the Faculty. Any other reason for deferment should be supported by some evidence for the request to be granted.
Here is the procedure for deferring

• Write a letter of deferment addressing it to the Registrar, Academic Affairs, through the Dean of Faculty, through the Chairman of Department (COD) and Lastly through the coordinator e-campus
• Clearly indicate your reason for deferring
• Also clearly indicate the session that you will resume your studies
• Send the letter to our email address and wait for the response
• Attach any document that may serve as evidence for you deferring the session in the email you send

Kindly note that the university shall not entertain any claims of a student being away without official permission. Also you are advised to appply for deferment before the session starts and should you defer after a session starts , you will not be refunded your tuition fee for that session.
