The assessment procedures for each subject in all years of the course 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.
The board of examiners may, at its discretion, grant repeat or supplementary
examinations to students who have not satisfactorily completed all required
assessment procedures.
At the end of first semester in all years of the course, 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.
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.
