Each student in the faculty must maintain satisfactory academic progress through his or her course. Failure to do so will result in the student being referred to an academic progress/exclusion committee to show cause why he or she should not be excluded from the course.
Each subject offered by the faculty makes certain requirements of students in terms of attendance and written work. Attendance at tutorials and practical classes is compulsory, and students are also expected to prepare assignments and to study in their own time. Students may be refused admission to the examinations in a subject if the requirements for attendance and written work have not been satisfied.
The
faculty issues warnings to students whose progress in a particular semester is
sufficiently poor to suggest that, unless significant improvement occurs, they
will be at risk of being liable for exclusion when liability is next assessed.
Students receiving such a warning letter are encouraged to take the warnings
seriously and to follow any instructions given about discussing their progress
with an academic adviser.
A student will be warned if (a) he or she fails a subject for a second
time; (b) fails half or more of his or her credit point enrolment in the
current semester, or (c) has failed three or more subjects in the current
semester.
Liability for exclusion is assessed at the end of each academic year and exclusion hearings take place in December/January. Any student referred to an academic progress/exclusion committee is entitled to an opportunity to be heard, and in the event that the student is excluded provision exists for an appeal to the Exclusion Appeals Committee of the Academic Board. Information about academic progress or exclusion may be obtained from the faculty's administration offices.
The
following criteria set out what constitutes unsatisfactory academic progress on
all campuses. A student's progress will be deemed to be unsatisfactory and
liable for exclusion if the student satisfies one or more of the following
criteria:
Single degree programs (a) the student has failed in more than half
of his or her credit point enrolment in the current academic year. (b) the
student fails a subject for a third time; or (c) the student has failed to
fulfil a condition imposed on the student's enrolment at a previous meeting of
the Engineering academic progress/exclusion committee.
Double degree programs (a) the student has failed in more than half
of his or her credit point enrolment in engineering subjects in the current
academic year; (b) the student fails an engineering subject for a third
time; or (c) the student has failed to fulfil a condition imposed on the
student's enrolment at a previous meeting of the Engineering academic
progress/exclusion committee.
(BSc/BE students in their first three years are candidates for a science degree
and are subject to the progress rules of the Faculty of Science).
