The assessment procedures for each subject in years 1, 2 and 3 and for the programs taught in years 4, 5 and 6 are described more fully in the appropriate manuals made available to students prior to the commencement of studies each year.
The board of examiners for each year level considers all results from examination and other assessment procedures at the end of each semester and/or year.
Students must obtain a passing grade in all subjects attempted in a given calendar year in order to proceed to the subsequent academic year of the course.
The board of examiners may, at its discretion, grant repeat or supplementary examinations to students who have not satisfactorily completed all required assessment procedures.
In years 1-3 at the end of first semester, the board of examiners may grant a repeat examination in any subject where a student has an unsatisfactory performance. The results of the repeat examination are considered at the second semester board of examiners when supplementary examinations may be granted.
In years 4-6, boards of examiners may, at their discretion, grant supplementary assessments where students have an unsatisfactory performance in components of the course.
Repeat examinations are generally held during the second semester and supplementary examinations are generally held in December or January.
The faculty informs students of the assessment procedures at the commencement of each semester/year. Students who are required to complete repeat or supplementary examinations are notified on the posted publication of results or individually by letter from the faculty office.
The Faculty of Medicine uses the grades fail, pass, credit, distinction and high distinction and reports marks for some components of the course.
