They have agreed on two sittings for the examinations; the current sitting and a second sitting in December/January, depending on the Faculty.

 

This come after one of the Fees Must Fall leaders and Wits student activist, Mcebo Dlamini, called for a second exam sitting for students who feel they can get better marks following months of violent protests at the university.

 

Students who did not apply for deferred examinations within the required three days and who wish to apply for the second sitting are expected to do so by midday on Friday, 25 November 2016.

 

Students can elect to write in either the first or second sitting. However, students must apply for the second sitting to allow for proper planning and scheduling.
