The Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) has introduced a revised fee structure for supplementary examinations.
The new decision, formulated by the academic board, brings significant changes in the way fees are calculated for these exams.
Notably, the fee will no longer be charged on a per-paper basis; instead, it will depend on the number of credit hours associated with each paper.

Under this new directive, students who need to retake a four-credit hour paper will now be required to pay GH¢200 as the supplementary examination fee.
This change has been implemented to ensure fairness and equity in the payment structure, as it takes into account both the number of credit hours assigned to a particular paper and the corresponding workload involved.
Previously, students had to pay a fixed fee per paper, regardless of the number of credit hours associated with it. This often resulted in students paying the same fee for papers with varying levels of complexity and resource consumption.

While the revised fee structure may require some adjustment on the part of the students, it is essential for them to take note of this new directive.
The updated methodology ensures that students will only be charged based on the credit hours attached to the paper they wish to retake.
As a result, the fee structure will accurately reflect the resources expended by the university to facilitate the supplementary examination process.
