- appoints examiners for all examinations;
- may make recommendations to the council regarding the faculty to which each academic department, or other academic structure belongs;
- may make recommendations to the council regarding the establishment and disestablishment of faculties, academic departments, and other academic structures;
- may make standing orders on procedures and delegation of powers for the better carrying out of its functions;
- may, in terms of the Rules, cancel the registration of a student in all or one or more of the courses for which the student is registered in that year, if, in the opinion of the senate, the academic achievement of the student is such that the student may not at the end of the year obtain credit in such course or courses, as the case may be.
3. The senate -
- must carry out such other functions as the council assigns to it;
- must submit to the council such reports on its work as may be required by the council; and
