In a statement dated March 7, 2025, the institution stated that the decision was taken after an audit and querying of their first and second-semester exam results was taken.

The expelled students were expected to score a GPA of at least 1.0, however, many could not. Some scored as low as 0.07.

The institution further stated that following the withdrawal, the affected students are ineligible to attend Level 200 lectures or partake in the mid-semester or end-of-semester exams for Level 200 courses.
