Progression Requirements

The standard passing mark in each course is 50% (equivalent to a D grade or 1.0 grade points) unless otherwise stated. Certain courses require minimums greater than 50% and/or have mandatory components to achieve a passing grade.

Students are required to complete any pre-requisites before enrolling in a course. Failing a course with a co-requisite may require repeating both courses.

Students are expected to achieve, each academic term a Term Grade Point Average (TGPA) of at least 2.0 to remain in Good Academic Standing. Students who do not achieve the minimum TGPA will be placed on either Conditional or Probationary Standing. Continued unsatisfactory academic performance may require the student to be placed on suspension or debarment.
