The categories to be dismissed are;

• Those with unexplained failure to transit to the subsequent level and

• Those who interrupted their studentship by temporary withdrawal, deferment or suspension.

“Students who need assistance, more information and/or further clarification may contact their respective Deans/Directors; Director Graduate School; or Academic Registrar,” he added.
