The UWI should devise a strategic plan that involves proper research on a student's record to tackle issues of this nature better. Going above and beyond for students needs to be mandated by the UWI. The Tell Claudienne column has received the following e-mail from the UWI public relations office, in response to your concerns:.
In light of a request for a statement, please note the. All graduate students are made aware of the financial requirements for the completion of their studies as this is a term under which acceptance of our offer is grounded. Those who fail to register each year will be deemed to have withdrawn from the university. His research paper was submitted for examination on December 20, , which is the end of Semester I, His degree was awarded on March 23, University regulations stipulate that all students must have financial clearance — meaning all outstanding fees should be paid — before they can have access to their degree award.
M L registered for the academic year and Semester I, for the academic year in February As it relates to the duration for marking, it is important to note that the delay associated with the marking period was due to the fact that one marker failed his paper and the other passed it.
In a situation whereby no consensus can be reached, an external examiner is usually brought in, which was the case in this particular instance. M L was made aware of this reason in a letter dated February 27, While it is not unusual for delays as a result of non-consensus between examiners, the UWI considered the plight of M L and a decision was taken to waive all his outstanding fees for the academic year.
This decision was communicated to M L on February 27, , and he was also reminded that he would be required to pay the associated fees as at the end of Semester academic year. To date, the outstanding amount has not been paid, hence the withholding of his degree. Tell Claudienne emailed you the UWI's response to your concerns and you responded as follows:. I had already paid for the research course in my school fee for the academic year This course was headed by the head of the department at that time but it wasn't a face-to-face class, neither was it online.
My understanding is that this course is only present on the system for the assignment of a final grade, for which I worked assiduously to submit my final paper in less than a year after completing the degree. I paid the UWI all outstanding fees tuition and accommodation before I was able to submit my final research paper.
After submitting my paper in December of I was never made aware that I would need to pay the UWI any additionall fees. If I was made aware of this, I would have worked towards paying this money before my degree was awarded. My problem lies with the lack of compassion for students that is shown in the way the UWI handles business and student-related affairs. I was only made aware of this outstanding fee when my degree was awarded in early Why wasn't I told to register for another semester when I submitted the paper in December for marking?
I am frustrated. This is a simple error on the UWI's part and they fail to own up to it. They need to revise my case in detail so it can help them alter how they handle situations like this moving forward.
On receipt of your counter arguments to the UWI's statement, Tell Claudienne asked the UWI public relations department for clarification in respect of the payment of fees.
Additionally, reminders about the policy for registration and payment of fees are sent to the students upon acceptance, at the beginning of each semester, and prior to the start of the examination period.
