To earn credit for a course, the student must score a minimum of 50% (C) in that course if this is compulsory. Students may gain credit in the case of an elective/required course if they scored 40% (D).

If a student obtains a pass mark in a course after re-sitting the course once or any subsequent number of times, the final mark given shall be the average of the marks obtained in the different sittings if this average is higher than 50% or 50% if the average obtained is less than 50%. Only this average mark shall be used to calculate the student’s cumulative grade point average (GPA). The fail mark shall no longer enter into the calculation of the cumulative grade point average (GPA).

In each semester (semester one and two), the student shall register for courses totaling not less than 30 credits. A student who fails to obtain a mark of 50/100 for any course at the end of the semester shall be obliged to resit the course(s).
