The University of Guyana (UG) is taking steps to resolve a prolonged delay in releasing grades for Criminal Law I and Criminal Law II for the 2024/2025 academic year. UG Chancellor Sir Ronald Sanders orders urgent action to ensure affected students are not placed at a disadvantage, while also responding to student concerns about the lack of timely results.

Kaieteur News reports that Sanders apologises to the students affected and describes the delay as “completely unacceptable.” The Guyana Chronicle likewise says the chancellor directs immediate measures to bring the grade release process to a resolution. Both outlets frame the issue as impacting students’ academic standing and progress, and both point to the chancellor’s intervention to speed up the outcome.

While the outlets differ in emphasis—one highlighting the apology and the characterisation of the delay, the other focusing on the urgent directive to prevent disadvantage—they agree on the core facts: the UG faces delays for specified Criminal Law courses, the chancellor is engaged directly, and actions are underway to resolve the issue.
