REGULATIONS

22nd May, 2020

LEGAL NOTICE 212 of 2020.

(1)

These regulations may be cited as the Special

Powers of Senate in Extraordinary Circumstances Regulations.

(2) In these regulations, unless the context otherwise requires,

the term “extraordinary circumstances” shall refer to any event or

circumstance that could not be avoided even if reasonable steps were

to be taken, such as the spread of a disease in the country or a

pandemic or any extraordinary circumstance related to public order

when national authorities recommend or order specific measures; and

in any case, when such a circumstance would seriously interfere with

the normal activities of the University as determined by the Rector of

the University.

(1)

These regulations shall be applicable from 1 May

2020 onwards.

(2)

In the event of a conflict between these regulations and

any other regulations, these regulations shall take precedence.

In extraordinary circumstances when normal University

activities have to stop or be drastically restricted due to situations

beyond the control of the University, Senate may take any measure it

deems appropriate for the teaching and assessment activities to be

cancelled or postponed or done differently as provided for or

required in any regulations.

(1)

The special measures shall be applicable only to

those students who have been materially and/or substantially affected

by the extraordinary circumstances.

(2)

From time to time, Senate shall decide whether the

extraordinary circumstances are still in force for the purposes of

these regulations.
