[Note: It is intended that, in the circumstances described in subrule 4.3, it may be appropriate that a counsellor or a person with medical qualifications be present when the notice is given to the applicant or student concerned with a view to assisting him or her.]

4.8 If the person:
         (a) does not undergo a medical examination arranged by the Registrar or is otherwise uncooperative with the Registrar; or
         (b) does not provide information requested or attend a medical examination arranged by the Registrar;
