       (4)    However, if, in opinion of the Chancellor or Vice-Chancellor (the relevant University officer), it is necessary for a document be sealed but the sealing of the document is not required or authorised under subsection (2) or (3), the relevant University officer may direct that the document be sealed and may give any necessary directions about how the document is to be sealed and the sealing witnessed.
