The Institute of Public Administration and Management (IPAM) at the University of Sierra Leone has issued a sincere apology to its B.Sc. Year Three and Four students for the cancellation of certain exam modules scheduled for the evening of Wednesday, April 3rd, 2024.
In a public notice released by the university, it was regretfully announced that the modules slated for the B.Sc. General Year Three and Four students had to be postponed until the following week. The decision was made following unforeseen circumstances that necessitated the cancellation of the exams on the aforementioned date.
The announcement further stated that the revised exam timetable for Year Three and Four General students would be communicated to them by Friday, April 5th, 2024. This measure aims to provide clarity and ensure that students can adequately prepare for their rescheduled exams.
The need for this public notice and apology arose from a sudden turn of events on April 3rd, 2024, when Year Three and Four students arrived for their scheduled exams. Despite their preparations and efforts to secure seats, the university administration was compelled to halt the proceedings, leaving students waiting outside for several hours before being dismissed to return home.
This unexpected disruption undoubtedly caused inconvenience and frustration among the affected students, who had diligently prepared for their examinations. The university administration acknowledges the inconvenience caused and extends its sincerest apologies to all impacted students and stakeholders.
Such unforeseen circumstances serve as a reminder of the challenges inherent in academic administration and the importance of effective communication and contingency planning.
