Regulations Governing the Conduct of Examinations:

Eligibility for Examinations

• No candidate shall be admitted to any examination in any subject if the Dean of the Faculty is not satisfied that the candidate has completed by attendance and otherwise the requirements of the course. If such a candidate enters the examination room and sits for the paper his/her results in that paper will be declared null and void.
• Senate may require a candidate whose work or progress is considered unsatisfactory on the recommendation of the Faculty Board, to withdraw from the University or to repeat any part of the course before admission to an examination.
  

Absence from Examinations

• A candidate, who deliberately absents himself/herself from examinations without compelling reasons, shall be discontinued from the University.
• No student will be allowed to postpone examinations except under special circumstances. Permission to postpone examinations will be considered after producing satisfactory evidence of the reasons for postponement. Such special circumstances shall include:

  1. Sickness
  2. Serious social problems (each case to be considered on its own merit).
  3. Severe sponsorship problem.
• Permission to postpone examinations will only be granted by the Dean of the Faculty upon receipt of a written request from the student that has been routed through the Academic Adviser and the Head of Department.
• Where permission to postpone examinations is based on medical grounds, the student should enclose as evidence a signed opinion of a qualified medical practitioner from either the University Health Centre or the Muhimbili National Hospital. The opinion of a medical practitioner from any other hospital will not be considered.

Examination Irregularities

• No unauthorized material shall be allowed into the examination room.
• Senate shall discontinue from studies any candidate who will be found to have brought unauthorized material into the examination room during any part of the examination process.
• Any candidate who will be found to have cheated in any part of the examination shall be deemed to have failed in the whole of that examination for that year and shall be discontinued from the University, subject to confirmation by Senate.

   

Appeals

• Except where unfair marking or other like irregularity in the conduct of any University Examination is alleged, no appeal shall lie in respect of any such examination on any other grounds.
• Where an appeal involves remarking, students are strongly advised to seek for such remarking as soon as the host department releases provisional results.
