[*] The Implementation starts of the Policy for every lecturer to teach at least one of his/her classes as a virtual class. HOD after consulting with the lecturer to designate the Virtual Class course for every lecturer, and this information is to be passed to the Registry for documentation.
* During Summer or Long Vacation Session, academic departments may offer a rerun of courses in which many students have recorded a fail grade, and where students have indicated a significant interest in retaking during the Long Vacation Session. Lecturers who teach such courses are paid separately from their regular salaries as students are charged fair cost per credit hour in order to register. Only classes that make a University determined viable number of registered students are offered otherwise a class that does not make such a number is canceled, except where a lecturer offers in writing to teach it as a tutored-study, which attracts less renumeration to the lecturer. A Student is allowed to register only a maximum of 9 credit hours courses during the Long Vacation (Summer) Session.
