Students must now begin the transition from fieldwork to documentation and assessment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The notice outlines four major expectations:<\/p>\n\n\n\n To ensure a smooth conclusion of the programme, ATBU has issued a strict submission schedule and checklist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Two weeks after school resumes<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Departmental SIWES coordinators<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Students are urged to keep all documents safe<\/strong> and ensure they are complete, filled correctly, and duly signed by their industry supervisors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As the programme closes, students are expected to tidy up all pending responsibilities.
