GENERAL INFORMATION13ACADEMIC PROGRESSIONS AND EXCLUSIONS1.The maximum time allowed to complete a programme shall be double the minimum completion duration, for example, six yearsfor a three-year qualification. In addition, students shall be given a maximum of one chance to repeat a semester, year, subject,course or module. In other words, repeaters are limited to one repeat.2.Students shall pass at least 50% of their subjects, including at least two of three major subjects that they are registered for in anysemester or year of study, in order to proceed to the next level of their studies, unless otherwise prescribed by statutory bodies,such as professional bodies. Students shall carry over repeated subjects to the next level that they are promoted to, pendingtimetabling. Students shall not be allowed to carry over more than two subjects per semester/year or at any one time.3.When a student does not fulfil the above requirements for progression, s/he will be notified in writing of his/ her exclusion from theprogramme or from progression.4.Where a student fails to meet rule 2 above s/he shall be permitted to repeat the repeated level a maximum of one time.5.These prescribed requirements will be stated in subject requirements and all efforts shall be made by the department concernedto familiarise students with these additional requirements.6.If a student fails the level or subjects more than once, s/he shall be excluded from the programme.7.If a student obtains an overall mark of less than 30%, s/he shall be excluded from registering for any programme in the faculty.8.If a student obtains an overall mark ranging from 30% to 40%, s/he shall be excluded from the programme. Such a student mayapply for admission to any other programme within the faculty, subject to meeting the Admission requirements.9.If a student obtains an overall mark ranging from 40 to 50%, s/he shall be allowed to repeat the level, subject to rules 1 and 2 ofthis section.10. When a student does not fulfil the above requirements for progression, s/he shall be notified in writing of his/ her exclusion fromthe programme or from progression.11. Where a student has only one or two subjects remaining before completion and is nearing the maximum number of years forregistration, s/he may apply, with appropriate motivation, to the Dean’s office for extension of the period of registration for anadditional year.Normal appeal procedures will apply1.Credits: Credit transfers require CPUT to validate prior formal learning through evaluation of the quality of an accredited provider.2.Subject exemptions as practised in the past are regarded as recognition of prior learning (RPL) and are dealt with in theappropriate RPL policy.3.In the interests of student access, mobility and articulation, and to avoid unnecessary repetition of studies, consideration may begiven to extending to the student:3.1 Recognition by granting credits for any subjects passed at CPUT, but in another programme, whether complete orincomplete, with a view to studying for a University programme.3.2 Recognition by granting credits whereby credits obtained at one institution maybe recognised by another as meeting part of the requirements for graduation, and credits for a completed qualification maybe recognised as meeting part of the requirements for another qualification.4.The mark obtained at higher education institutions from which the credit is transferred, shall be confirmed by the SenateExecutive (SENEX). The purpose of this requirement is to ensure that students who were granted credits can also be consideredfor cum laude awards by the University.5.Credits will only be recorded on the student’s academic history by the Assessment and Graduation Centre (AGC) once approvedby SENEX.6.In all instances the total number of credits awarded shall not exceed 50% of the number of subjects in the programme.7.All credits accumulated in respect of incomplete qualifications shall only be valid for a maximum of ten years.

GENERAL INFORMATION14FACULTY EXCLUSION RULES AND PROCEDURESDiploma / National Diploma exclusionsA Diploma / National Diploma candidate shall not be permitted to renew his or her registration except by permission of the Head ofDepartment and/or the Dean if he or she fails to complete the subjects prescribed:where applicable, for first semester within two semesters after his/her first registration for the Diploma; andwhere applicable, for first year within two years after his/her first registration for the Diploma; Students who fail more than 50% of their subjects/modules in any level of study or who fail any subject twice will not be re-admittedto the qualification. These students shall be referred to a FET college, or will have to work for six months in an engineeringcompany (doing engineering related work) before being eligible for re-admission to the qualification.A student may also upon application to the department enrol for an accredited equivalent subject/ module at e.g. UNISA and applyfor recognition of credits on successful completion of the subject/ module.Students who fail all the core subjects (where applicable) will not be re-admitted to the qualification.Students have to pass specific subjects/modules (pre-requisites) in order to continue with their qualification to the next level.
