Will I still be able to do ‘Exams Only’ for a course?

Yes.  However it is important to note that there will be no face-to-face or sit-down exams.

 

Students will only be eligible for “Examinations Only” in the following circumstances:

 

  • He/she has failed one or two of the final courses required to complete the degree at the end of their final year and obtained a mark within the F1 range that is no less than 45% in each course.
  • He/she has obtained a medical excuse, certified by the University Health Centre, for not having attempted an a final exam.
  • He/she has been approved for the deferral of sitting exam of account of special or extenuating circumstances. (see regulations below)

Deferral of Sitting Examinations

  • In exceptional circumstances, the Dean may grant a student a deferral from sitting an exam and permission to take it on a subsequent occasion, by virtue of special assignments overseas for an employer, being selected to represent the country on a national team, or on compassionate grounds. In all instances, formal letters will have to be provided by the employer/national association or relevant institution.
