I thought the purpose of a University (I assume here) is to demonstrate an ability to understand different but related disiplines, there will always be parts of a course that a individual will find difficult or just plain boring, but thats part of the game. And to show an ability to take on new subjects/tasks and to be able to see them through to completion.

This individual deserves not to complete the course, as they quite clearly cannot be bothered with the parts of the course that do not interest them, just wait until they get into the real world, and find out just what "work" really entails, and not an idillic paradise designing websites (yawn!).
