ACADEMIC PROGRAMME

Message from the Vice-Chancellor

Dear Students

Welcome to a very special year at CPUT- our 10th birthday celebration. For a decade we have produced some of the country’s most promising graduates and I am certain that you will also one day walk across the stage in front of me during your graduation and join their ranks as a proud CPUT alumnus.

Each year our Admissions Department is flooded with thousands of applications from across the country by young people, just like you, who recognise that CPUT is a leader in innovation and technology. Whether you are a first year or a returning student, you have fought hard to get a seat at our institution and that determination should follow you through to the end of your studies.

Be determined to say no to negative influences, to give your best to each and every evaluation and to becoming a well-rounded student who fully participates in the multitude of extra-mural activities that are available to you through our Student Affairs Department.

We are also determined to ensuring you are fully supported on your journey to graduation. There are a number of intervention units in place to assist students. These include the Student Learning unit which assists you with attributes like academic literacy, study skills and time management. I urge all of you to make contact with this unit and the many others like Student Counseling, the clinic and HIV/Aids unit who are all dedicated to your future success.

Ultimately however your success lies in your own hands. The journey for 2015 starts right now and I wish you well along your way.

Your Vice-Chancellor

Dr Prins Nevhutalu

27RECOGNITION OF PRIOR LEARNING (RPL)

Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) is undertaken by CPUT in line with the principles of the National Qualifications Framework (NQF) as part of the University’s commitment to broaden access to higher education and increase the number of graduates. RPL can accelerate progress through learning programmes and contribute to the increased mobility of students across higher education institutions and other learning contexts.

TimingRPL takes at least three months to process. An applicant will need to gather applicable, verifiable evidence in preparation for the assessment. Once the application has been assessed and approved by CPUT, related administrative procedures have to be concluded before the successful RPL applicant can register as a student.

The deadline for RPL applications is 30 June of every year. For programmes with mid-year intakes, the deadline is 31 May of every year.

RPL processThe RPL process requires the input from three parties.

• The first party is the RPL applicant who wants recognition for work experience and knowledge. • The second party is the academic department and its assessors who evaluate the applicant’s

knowledge and skills against the entry requirements of a particular qualification and/or part of a qualification (modules and subjects) that is offered by this department, and for which recognition is requested.

• The third party is the University that ratifies the assessment decision that has been made.

1. The maximum time allowed to complete a programme shall be double the minimum completion duration, for example, 6 years for a 3-year qualification. In addition, student would be given a maximum of one chance to repeat a semester, year, subject, course or module. In other words, repeaters are limited to one repeat.

2. Students shall pass at least 50% including at least 2 of 3 major subjects that they are registered for in any semester or year of their study in order to proceed to the next level of their studies unless otherwise prescribed by statutory bodies, such as professional bodies. S/he shall carryover repeated subjects, onto the next level that they are promoted into pending timetabling. Students shall not be allowed to ‘carryover’ more than two subjects per semester/year or at any one given time.

3. When a student does not fulfill the above requirements for progression, he/she will be notified in writing of his/her exclusion from the programme or from progression.

4. Where a student fails to meet rule 2 above s/he shall be permitted to repeat the repeated level a maximum of one time.

5. These prescribed requirements will be stated in course requirements and all efforts shall be made by the department concerned to familiarize students with these additional requirements.

6. If a student fails the level or subjects more than once, s/he shall be excluded from the programme.

7. If a student obtain an overall mark of <30% s/he shall be excluded from registering for any programme in the faculty.

8. If a student obtains an overall marks ranging between 30 – 40% s/he shall be excluded from the programme. Such a student may apply for admission for any other programme within the faculty subject to meeting the admission requirements.

9. If a student obtains an overall marks ranging from between 40 – 50% s/he shall be allowed to repeat the level subject to rule 2 of this section.

10. When a student does not fulfill the above requirements for progression, he/she shall be notified in writing of his/her exclusion from the programme or from progression.

11. Where a student has only one or two subjects remaining to completion and is nearing the maximum number of years for registration, he/she may apply, with appropriate motivation, to the Dean’s office for extension of the period of registration for an additional year.

12. Normal appeal procedures will also be applied.

29ACADEMIC PROGRESSIONS AND EXCLUSIONS

Credits

1. Credit transfers require CPUT to validate prior formal learning through evaluation of the quality of an accredited provider.

2. Subject exemptions as practiced in the past are regarded as recognition of prior learning and are dealt with in the appropriate RPL policy.

3. In the interest of student access, mobility and articulation, consideration may be given to avoid unnecessary repetition of studies by extending to a student: Recognition by granting credits for any subjects passed at CPUT, but in another program, whether complete or incomplete, with a view to study for a University program. Recognition by granting credits whereby credits obtained at one institution may be recognised by another as meeting part of the requirements for graduation, and credits for a completed qualification may be recognised as meeting part of the requirements of another qualification.

4. The mark obtained at higher education institutions from which the credit is transferred shall be confirmed by the SENEX. The purpose of this requirement is to ensure that students who were granted credits can also be considered for cum laude awards by the University.

5. Credits will only be recorded on the student’s academic history by the AGC once approved by SENEX.

6. In all instances the total number of credits awarded shall not exceed 50% of the number of courses in the program.

7. All credits accumulated in respect of incomplete qualifications shall only be valid for a maximum of 10 years.
