There are a lot of things one could do, knowingly or unknowingly, that could easily end in dismissal. Ignorance of such things would prove futile in the face of the school’s laws. Hence, each student is supposed to receive a copy of the students’ guide which talks about such things. Some of such things are as follows.
1. Poor academic performance:
There has been some change in this area. Before, any student who gets below the 40 percent cumulative weighted average threshold or fails more than four courses was to be dismissed or withdrawn from school.
Now, any student who falls in such a category for the first time is to repeat the programme in question, but such a chance will not be offered to a repeating student who fails again. Also, after failing less than four courses and therefore required to take supplementary exams, upon failing more than two courses, such a student is to be withdrawn from the university.
2. Public Nudity
Any student who exposes their naked bodies in public or for public consumption with any kind of connection to the school will be immediately withdrawn from the school. The main issue here is if such public nudity drags the school’s reputation through the mud.
3. Examination malpractice:
Cheating in exams can also lead to one’s dismissal from KNUST. Such cheating involves getting information from the internet, a friend or any other material besides the question and answers slips during the exams proper.
