Letter to Students from UCC regarding Fall Updates and Delivery Modality
Spring 2024 - Honour Roll Awardees

A new record has been broken. 😱

Spring 2024 sees a total of 397 students who made the honour roll list, with 80 being on the Top Achievers. That’s a 40% increase from Fall 2023, and it’s the largest honour roll list recorded so far. Congratulations on your remarkable achievement! 🎉

As you continue to strive for excellence, may you inspire others to do the same during this semester, especially in the EOSA period. Once again, congratulations on your well-deserved success. May you continue to achieve great heights and make our university proud.

Sincerely,

The Student Council Executives (2023 - 2024)

URGENT PLAN B OPTION UPDATE:
#UCC_SC_News

Good day folks! Hope you are all doing well.

We have just confirmed that the down payment of the 40% at the start of the semester under the Plan B Tuition Payment Option, has been reduced by a whopping 10%. You are now only required to pay 30% of the overall tuition at the beginning, then pay the remaining 70% before exams.

This will come in to effect this Fall 2024 semester, and students who have not begun payment yet are eligible to use the updated plan.

As per usual, if you have any questions, suggestions, or concerns, please feel free to reach out to any member of the council.

Until our next update,
Student Council Board 2024/2025
Stay safe 🙏🏾

Instead, they recommend that affected students respond directly to the cancellation emails to get assistance with alternative courses or advice on completing their programs. UCC does reserve the right the cancel courses based on low enrollment (fewer than 25 students), as outlined in university policy.

Please use the official channels (email or phone) for any questions or concerns. Thank you for your understanding, and we’re here to support you through this process.

Best regards,
Khalia Phillips (Miss)
(Student Council Executive - Math and IT Department)
