Government-declared public holidays should be observed by the university where applicable, subject to academic and regulatory requirements.

Fees for reappear and backlog examinations should be reviewed with the objective of making them more affordable for students.

17. CONSIDERATION OF GENUINE ATTENDANCE-SHORTAGE CASES

18. OFFICIAL RECOGNITION OF SAC
The Student Action Committee should receive formal recognition from the university, with clearly defined rights, responsibilities and mechanisms for student representation.
