Makerere Expels 500
By Fortunate Ahimbisibwe
MAKERERE University's Nakawa based
Business School (MUBS) has expelled over 500 students who
have been pursuing a Bachelor of Commerce (External) degree.
University officials said the students repeatedly failed examinations
while others failed to raise a Cumulative Grade Point Average of two for two
consecutive semesters.
“The students have been discontinued because
they failed to raise the required passmark. The decision was taken by the
Faculty Board of the MUBS,” spokesperson Hellen Kawesa said yesterday.
The list of the discontinued students was displayed at the Institute
of Adult and Continuing Education, which runs the department of B.Com External
degree. Most of the affected students failed the end of last semester
examinations in February. The faculty board sat in Nakawa early this month.
“They have been discontinued after a series of warnings,” Kawesa said.
She said the university regulations empower the faculty board to discontinue
students who fail examinations repeatedly.
Sources said the number of
students had grown and unserious students would not be tolerated.
