“corequisite module” means a module for which a student must register in the same semester as the proposed module, unless the ancillary module has already been passed or attempted with satisfaction of the DP/Year mark requirements.

“prerequisite module” means a module which must have been passed, with at least the minimum mark required, before registration for the proposed module is permitted. “duly performed (DP) requirements OR year mark” means those college-approved requirements for a module which must be met to permit a student to be eligible for final assessment in that module. “examination” means a formal assessment, conducted within an officially designated examination session, usually invigilated, and bound by time constraints. “exit-level module” means a module at the highest level required by the Higher Education Qualifications Framework (HEQF) for a qualification. “supplementary examination” means an examination awarded by the Senate to a student, based on the student’s performance in the original module assessment. All examination papers which constitute the module shall be re-written. “special examination” means an examination awarded by the Senate to a student who has not been able to attempt or complete the original examination by reason of illness or any other reason deemed sufficient by the Senate. Only the component of the examination which has not been attempted or completed shall be re-written. The pass mark for all modules in the University shall be 50%, provided that any sub-minima required in certain components of the Senate-approved assessment have been met.
