131 Students Dismissed From Cape Vars
The University of Cape Coast (UCC) has dismissed 131 students for poor academic performance.
Sixty-six of them are level 100 students, while the rest are in levels 200 and 300.
A total of 65 Level 200 and 300 students who were referred in three – three credit courses have also been asked to re-sit their papers as external candidates.
Additionally, nine others have been rusticated for periods ranging between two and four semesters for contravening the university’s regulations and engaging in violent conduct.
The Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang, announced this at this year’s Matriculation ceremony to formally admit fresh students into the university for the 2010/2011 academic year.
A total of 5081 students out of the over 13,000 applicants took the Matriculation Oath. The number of students admitted constitutes an increase of 19.5 per cent over last year’s 4251.
Prof. Opoku-Agyemang explained that referred candidates who failed to redeem themselves after the re-sit would be dismissed.
She, charged the students to be diligent and adhere to the rules and regulations of the university, and study hard.
“It is very easy to succeed in your academic life if you apply yourself.
Spend your time judiciously. Where you encounter genuine and unavoidable difficulties, your academic advisors are available to help you,” she said.
Giving a break down of students admitted this year, Prof. Opoku-Agyemang said 551 students were for postgraduate studies made up of 30 PhD and 521 Masters programmes.
For the undergraduate programme, she said, 4,530 students made up of 2,762 males and1,768 females were admitted for various courses.
The Vice Chancellor explained that out of the admission, 538 were from the university’s remedial programme, 360 from mature examination and 96 from deprived and less-endowed schools representing 22 per cent of the admissions.
“University of Cape Coast remains committed to the twin objectives of equalizing opportunities and expanding access to university education,” she emphasized.
She charged the students to let the training they would receive develop them holistically, critical and independent thinkers, confident, trustworthy, morally upright and effective future leaders.
