If the work transcends diff\u00aderent disciplines, the supervisors should include experts in related fields<\/p><p>1.5\u00a0 To nominate a Main Supervisor, consideration will be given to the number and progress of students currently being supervised by the Academic staff, the experience, teaching or administrative commitments as well plans with respect to leaves.<\/p><p>1.6\u00a0 The Main Supervisor\u2019s tenure at the University should not be less than the minimum time allowed for the completion of the degree.<\/p><p>1.7\u00a0 Should the case be that the Main Supervisor\u2019s tenure will expire before the minimum period of study for the research degree, a Co-Supervisor who possesses related experience or expertise in the field of research and, is an academic staff\u00ac under tenure will take up appointment before expiration of the main supervisor\u2019s tenure.<\/p><p>1.8\u00a0 A student may nominate a Main Supervisor who has been approved by the Faculty Council.

This case cannot be referred to and be an example or a precedent for a case to come.<\/p><p>1.22 In the event of problems of supervision between the supervisor and student, the faculty should address this problem.
