Vision and Mission of the Cape

Institute for Agricultural Training:

Elsenburg

Vision The leader in quality agricultural training

and development in Africa

Mission Empowering our clients by presenting market

driven training programmes that stimulate

sustainable economic growth



Elsenburg: a proud tradition Elsenburg’s history dates back to 1698, when the land was allocated to Samuel

Elsevier by Willem Adriaan van der Stel, at that time the governor of the Cape colony. The farm’s successive owners, among whom Martin Melck is probably

the best known, built it up to one of the prime farms in the Cape. Martin Melck built the beautiful old manor house in 1761. The farm was sold to the government by the Myburgh family in 1898.

On 1 September 1898 the Agricultural College, the first of its kind in South

Africa, opened its doors. Five students received their diplomas at the end of the first academic year (June 1899). During the first fourteen years of its existence the average number of students was 44. During the first World War, however,

there was a drastic reduction in applications, with only 8 students studying there in 1915.

In 1926 Elsenburg College of Agriculture and the University of Stellenbosch amalgamated and a two-year diploma course was offered at Elsenburg, with the

primary aim of training prospective farmers. In 1927 this course was replaced with a one-year course, which was replaced by practical courses in 1931. In

1939 the two-year diploma course was reinstated. Elsenburg’s relationship of 47 years with the University was severed in 1973 and the Department of Agriculture

accepted responsibility for agricultural training at Elsenburg. An important milestone in 1976 was the establishment of the Diploma in Cellar

Technology. Many of South Africa’s winemakers today, received their agricultural training at Elsenburg.

In 1994, with the transformation to a democratic political order in South Africa, the Department of Agriculture: Western Cape was created. The Elsenburg and

Kromme Rhee colleges of agriculture amalgamated. The amalgamation placed a great responsibility on the Department of Agriculture to continue and to expand

the training offered. A Centre for Further Education and Training was consequently created to address the need for short, practical courses.

The relationship with the University of Stellenbosch was again initiated and since 2004 Elsenburg has been offering a B. Agric programme in association with the

University of Stellenbosch’s Agriscience Faculty. This development is in line with the government’s new academic policy to give

tertiary students more mobility between educational institutions. Duplication of programmes is also eliminated. Elsenburg College of Agriculture was renamed on 1

April 2004 to the Cape Institute for Agricultural Training: Elsenburg.

South Africa: an agricultural gem!

The creation of employment opportunities and the provision of sufficient and safe food and fibre of high quality at affordable prices are some of the demands faced

by the agricultural sector. The opportunities and challenges in agriculture lie in the diversity of our topography, the variation in our soil, the divergent nature of our climatic regions, and in the expectations of demanding buyers of our

agricultural products. Agriculture has to maintain a balance with nature without exploiting natural resources. Our country has an astonishing diversity of fauna

and flora that has to be respected, protected and conserved. The agriculturalist is



dealing with living and life-giving organisms in such a way that the goal to improve the quality of life of all, will be furthered.

Agriculture in South Africa contributes almost 5% to the gross national product,

assists significantly in earning foreign exchange, is an important provider of employment and supplies basic human requirements in food and fibre. Agritourism is becoming increasingly important as an industry and provides an

escape for many city dwellers. For each R1 million increase in the final demand for agricultural products, 83 new employment opportunities are created, in

comparison with a corresponding figure of only 29 employment opportunities in the rest of the economy. It is generally acknowledged that agriculture has an important role to play in poverty alleviation.

Soil is an important production factor in agriculture. The Republic of South

Africa extends over 122,3 million hectares of which 16 million hectares are used for crop production. Around 1,5 million hectares have established trees and 83 million hectares are covered by natural grazing. Soils with optimum physical

and chemical conditions are scarce and localized, but there are various unique soil/climate interactions that allow for the cultivation of products for niche markets.

South Africa is a water scarce country. Around 30% of the country receives less

than 250 mm rain per year, around 34% receives between 250 and 500 mm, 25% between 500 and 750 mm per year and only 1% of the country receives more than 750 mm of rain per year. In most regions rainfall is uncertain and periodic

droughts occur. As a result of these and other factors, South Africa is dependent mainly on catch-dams and subterranean water sources. Just over 1,2 million

hectares are irrigated. At present, agriculture is one of the largest users of water, almost 50%, but the farming sector faces increasing pressure for more water for industrial and residential users. Only 10% of agricultural soil is viable

without irrigation. Water and irrigation management in South Africa consequently demands thorough knowledge of the subject.

South Africa is an agricultural gem. Due to the varying climatic conditions and topography, practically any crop can be cultivated. The country is currently self-

sufficient in most primary food and fibre requirements for its rapidly growing population. Food crops in which there are not yet self-sufficiency, but which

grow in large quantities are oil seeds, rice, tea and coffee. More than 33% of our horticultural production is exported, deciduous fruit comprising the largest volume. Further examples of South African exports are subtropical fruit, maize,

sugar, vegetables, wine, cut flowers, flower bulbs, mohair and karakul pelts. 81% of agricultural land is natural grazing used mainly for extensive stock farming.

This is almost 70% of South Africa’s total area. A variety of animals are reared: large and small stock, pigs and poultry.

Aquaculture and game farming are rapidly growing industries with great potential. After-harvest handling, processing, storing and preserving of products

and foods are different ways in which value is added to fresh produce. The ultimate quality of the product enjoyed by the consumer is dependent on the quality of the soil or the animal from which it is derived. Sustainable and

responsible pest and disease control is therefore required.



From the above, it is clear that specialised knowledge, expertise, production and management skills are required for sustainable agricultural production. Graduates

can enter various careers in agriculture and related sectors. Careers in farming management, cellar technology, research, education and training, consultation,

as well as installation management (e.g. cellars) and service delivery (e.g. suppliers), offer challenging options. (Information obtained from Univerity of Stellenbosch Year Book)

The profile of an agriculturalist

The graduate agriculturalist has the necessary knowledge, skills and attitude to function independently, or in a team, in an agricultural environment. This

includes the judicious application of science to the management of the value chain of a variety of food and fibre products in an economical, environmentally friendly and sustainable way for the benefit, betterment and welfare of

humanity. To make this contribution, the agriculturalist displays the following professional characteristics:

Knowledge The knowledge of the applicable scientific concepts, the interaction between the biological and abiotic factors in the environment and the basic principles of

research methods and methodology. The ability to create new knowledge, generate ideas and act innovatively. The ability to function effectively in an

interdisciplinary environment. An understanding of sustainable development and sustainable resource management. Management of information and making

informed decisions. A systems approach to the analysis of environmental problems. Attitudes

Respect for the environment and its users. Acknowledgement of own limitations in terms of knowledge and skills. A positive

approach to continuous professional development. Involvement in and service to the wider community. A positive example in terms of social responsibility and obligations. Acceptance of and a striving towards the highest academic

standards. Skills

The ability to collect, integrate, interpret and apply knowledge and to use this information in problem-solving. Effective communication with role players from various environments and

backgrounds. Sufficient skills to function as an agricultural scientist, either independently or as a member of a team. The ability to interpret and apply

relevant subject literature. The ability to utilize relevant resources in the work environment effectively. (Information obtained from the University of Stellenbosch Year Book)

Particulars are provided with the description of modules (see content of modules).

Students should also be conversant with the Academic rules as well as the requirements for re-admission as a student.



ACADEMIC RULES This set of Academic rules was compiled specifically for the Higher Certificate programme offering of the Cape Institute for Agricultural

Training: Elsenburg. 1. ATTENDANCE OF CLASSES AND ABSENTEEISM FROM CLASSES / PRACTICALS / TESTS / EXAMINATIONS

Students are expected to attend all classes, practicals, tests and examinations. Lecturers keep attendance records, copies of which are submitted every

semester to the Director for record purposes. The following rules apply: 1.1 Absence from lectures

If lecturers are of the opinion that the class attendance of a student

during the academic year is unsatisfactory, they may, after the student has been called in and warned, but has not reacted, report this to the

Director. The Director will then deal with the matter as he or she deems fit. 1.2 Absence from practicals 1.2.1 Permission for absence is granted only as an exception (see 1.3). The

onus then rests with the students themselves to arrange with the lecturer concerned to do the relevant practical component and/or be evaluated.

1.2.2 In a case of absence without authorisation from a practical, students are given a zero mark for any evaluation and also forfeit the right to a later evaluation.

1.3 Authorised absence 1.3.1 Authorised absence is granted only as an exception. Students

themselves must make all relevant arrangements. 1.3.2 Any request for authorised absence must be submitted to the Faculty

Management in writing and must include the necessary motivation and/or proof.

1.3.3 Requests for compassionate leave must be arranged directly with the

Director or an authorised person from Student Affairs.

2. DETERMINATION OF EXAMINATION ADMISSION MARKS (PREDICATE

MARKS) 2.1 Predicate marks are earned through scheduled and non-scheduled tests,

assignments, practical tasks and library work.

2.2 In all modules two tests per semester are written during normal class time as a means of continuous evaluation. These tests are the only scheduled

opportunities for earning a predicate mark. 2.2.1 Students must write at least two of the tests per module to earn a predicate

mark.

2.2.2 If students are absent from such an evaluation opportunity (due to illness or other valid reasons), they forfeit that opportunity. They then have only

one opportunity (sick test) in that module presentation left to earn a predicate mark.

2.2.3 If students do not write a test, they are given a zero mark.

2.3 Medical certificates or other documentation will be accepted as excuse for absence during any evaluation provided it is presented within 2 work days

after the evaluation. Students then have to write the sick test and no additional test opportunities will be scheduled.

2.4 Exceptional cases will be considered by Faculty Management on receipt of

written, well motivated representations by the student. 2.5 Composition of predicate mark:



The scheduled tests: at least 70% of the predicate Other prescribed forms of evaluation: a maximum of 30%

Non-scheduled forms of evaluation: a maximum of 10% The specific composition is determined by each module.

2.6. A sub-minimum of 50% is required for the practical component. If the sub-minimum of 50% for the practical component is not achieved, students do not earn a predicate.

2.7 A predicate mark of 40% is required for examination admission in ALL modules.

2.8 It is the responsibility of students to ascertain whether they earned a predicate in the various modules, without which they will be denied admission to the examination. Enquiries must be made from the

Faculty manager immediately (within 1 work day) after the predicate marks have been made known.

3. EXAMINATION 3.1 Students are examined or evaluated in all the modules for which they

register. A valid photo identification should be presented at all test and

examinations. 3.2 Examination/evaluation covers the entire field of study of a module.

Students are expected to keep themselves informed of the content of required modules (refer to Content of modules).

3.3 Only two 1 - 3 hour equivalent examinations are conducted at the close of

each module. The two examinations for a module are known as the main examination and the supplementary examination.

3.4 Examinations are written only during officially scheduled times. Students with examination admission must take advantage of the main examination opportunity.

3.4.1 There are two main examination opportunities during the academic year: (i) The mid-year examination, during which the main examination on

the modules of the first semester is conducted. (ii) The end of year examination, during which the main examination

on the modules of the second semester is conducted. 3.4.2 Supplementary examinations take place immediately after the main

examination has been completed:

(i) The supplementary mid-year examination, during which a supplementary examination on the modules of the first semester is

conducted. (ii) The supplementary end of year examination, during which a

supplementary examination on the modules of the second semester

is conducted. 3.5 If students are absent from the main examination opportunity (due to

illness or any other reason), they forfeit that opportunity. The supplementary examination is then the only other and final opportunity to write an examination on that module, and only if approval is granted by

the Faculty Management (refer to par. 3.8). 3.6 If students do not write any examination, they are given a zero mark and

the module must be repeated. 3.7 Authorised absence of the main examination will rarely be granted. 3.8.1 Students who cannot attend the main examination opportunity must apply

in writing for admission to the supplementary examination. Valid medical certificates and/or other motivating documentation must accompany the



application and be submitted to Student Affairs at least 2 work days after the main examination opportunity. The decision of the Faculty

Management is final. 3.8.2 Students forfeit admission to the supplementary examination if no written

applications are received and/or applications are received too late. 3.9 Exceptional cases will be considered by the Faculty Management on receipt

of a written request/motivation from students.

4. PASS REQUIREMENTS 4.1 Semester Instruction

4.1.1 A weighted average of at least 50% (predicate mark plus examination mark) must be attained, in addition to which the following requirements must also be met:

4.1.1.1 The examination mark must comprise 60% of the final mark. 4.1.1.2 A minimum of 40% must be attained in the examination.

4.1.1.3 A sub-minimum of 50% must be attained for the practical if a module consists of both theoretical and practical components.

4.1.2 The final mark is calculated as follows:

Final mark (100%) = Predicate mark (40%) + examination mark (60%) 4.1.3 A mark of at least 50% must be attained in practical as set out in the

description of the module-content. 4.1.4 A mark of at least 50% is required in supplementary examinations,

irrespective of predicate and main examination marks. 4.1.5 If the supplementary examination is the candidate’s first examination

opportunity (see 3.5 a and 3.8), the final mark is calculated as described

in 4.1.2. 4.1.6 A mark of at least 50% must be attained in special examinations (as

described in 3.8). 4.2 Instructional programme 4.2.1 Refer to 4.1.

4.2.2 All modules required by the teaching programme must be passed. (Refer to Addendum 2: Fields of Study.)

4.3 Pass with distinction 4.3.1 Instructional programme (course) distinction. Students pass a module

with distinction if their average mark for all the modules in the programme

is 75% or more. 4.3.2 Module distinction. Students pass an instructional presentation with

distinction if a final mark for the module is 75% or more. 4.4 Application for re-evaluation of an examination paper 4.4.1 A student who wishes to have an examination paper re-evaluated, must

apply in writing at Student Affairs, and pay the required amount at the cashier, within 1 work day of the final results of a module having been

made known. No re-evaluation will be considered without the necessary receipt.

4.4.2 All examination papers of students who fail or who qualify for a

supplementary examination are moderated before the results are announced.

4.4.3 The re-evaluation of an examination paper is done by external moderators and the results could be made known only shortly before the supplementary examination takes place. A student must therefore prepare

him or her for the supplementary examination in case the re-evaluation indicates that there were changes.



5. ADMISSION TO THE SUPPLEMENTARY EXAMINATION 5.1 Students are admitted to the supplementary examination if their

examination marks are ≥40% and/or their final marks are less than 50%. 5.2 Students who do not write the main examination, forfeit that opportunity.

The supplementary examination is then the only opportunity to write that examination (refer to 3.8 and 4.1.5.).

5.3 If students write the main examination they must attain at least 40% in

that examination. 5.4 If students earn a predicate mark of ≥ 60% but do not meet the

requirement of 5.3, they qualify for a supplementary examination. 5.5 If students do not write an examination, they are given a zero mark.

Unauthorised absence will not be accepted.

5.6 If students cannot or do not wish to write a supplementary examination, a zero mark is allocated and the module must be repeated.

5.7 Exceptional cases will be considered by the Faculty Management at their discretion on the timely receipt of a written request/motivation from the student.

5.8 Only one supplementary examination opportunity per module is allowed. 5.9 There is no limit to the number of modules for which supplementary

examinations may be written, provided that rule 5.3 is met. 5.10 If students lack only one more module before they can obtain a

qualification or a passing-out level, the Director may grant a Director’s examination.

6. CONDONATION

No condonation will be applied. 7. REPETITION OF MODULES AND CONTINUATION OF THE MODULES

Students who fail (a) module(s) may repeat the module(s) on the conditions set out in 7.1 and 7.2.

7.1 Repetition of modules

7.1.1 Re-registration for modules is done during registration for the specific semester. Applications for re-admission of students who had to leave the

Institute must be submitted before or on 02 January of the re-registration year. Registration can only occur if written proof of re-admission is submitted at registration.

7.1.2 If there are clashes in the test or examination timetable, students have to register the outstanding modules. The students must avail themselves in

this regard. 7.1.3 Modules that are prerequisites for subsequent modules must first be

repeated and passed in full before subsequent modules may be followed

(refer to Content of modules). 7.1.4 Students must repeat, in full, any module for which they did not earn a

predicate mark, as well as any practical component where continuous evaluation is done for which they attained less than 50% (refer to paragraph 1). This includes attending all classes and practicals, the

completion of all exercises, tasks and practicals, as well as writing the tests and examinations. Where exercises, tasks and seminars have to be

done, students must do new exercises, tasks and seminars (with new subjects or themes).

7.1.5 Students who earned a predicate mark in a module but did not pass,



may be exempted from class attendance in the module concerned (at a student’s own risk), with the proviso that 7.1.2 and 7.1.3 apply and that

7.1.7 is also applicable. All scheduled tests must be written, scheduled assignments and seminars must be completed and scheduled

examinations written. It stays the student’s responsibility to ensure that he/she is up to date with any rules/ changes/ announcements of the module for which he/she is registered, but not attending classes.

7.1.6 The onus rests on students to keep them informed of the content of modules, changes in the content of modules and of return dates,

arrangements and requirements for assignments, exercises, tests and examinations.

7.1.7 When a module is repeated, the student must apply in writing within the

first two weeks of the academic year for the exemption of attendance for the practical component. The Faculty Management must give approval in

writing. In the case of absence without written approval, a zero mark will be given.

7.1.8 Students may register only twice per module (this includes discontinued

modules), after which they must pass to be able to continue with their studies (refer also to par.7.2).

7.1.9 Full registration and class fees, as prescribed, are payable for each module(s) that is repeated.

7.2 Continuation of instructional programme For the Higher Certificate instructional programme to be continued, the following requirements must be met:

7.2.1 At the end of the first semester of the first year of study, students must pass the modules with a total of at least 30 credits before they are able to

register for the second semester. They will receive a written request to discontinue their studies if this requirement is not met.

7.2.2 Students who at the end of their first or third year of study did not

obtain the number of HEMIS credits required for the programme in terms of the sliding scale below, will no longer be admitted as student (1 HEMIS

credit is equal to the total number of credits required in a specific study year of a programme).

Sliding scale for HEMIS credits

Historical years 1 2 3

HEMIS-credits 0.48 1.23 2.03

(HEMIS is the acronym for Higher Education Information Management System)

7.2.3 Students who at the end of the first and third year did not obtain 0.48 and 2.03 HEMIS credits, receive a letter of warning that their

achievements are not satisfactory and that if their achievements do not improve, they are at risk of not being re-admitted for further study at the end of the following year.

7.2.4 Notwithstanding any other stipulations, students must obtain in their first year of study at least 0,48 HEMIS credits and in their third year of study at

least 0,33 HEMIS credits in order to continue their studies in the following year.

7.2.5 In all study years the requirements in par.7.1.2, 7.1.3 and 7.1.7 must be

met.



7.2.6 Students who for the first time in their period of study discontinue their studies before or on 31st of March of a given year, or who, on grounds of

academic considerations, are not allowed to continue their studies, will not be debited with such academic year in respect of rules of re-admission. Any

further discontinuations by the same students will automatically bring the relevant rules into play in applications for re-admission. This stipulation does not apply in cases of extraordinary circumstances, e.g. justifiable

medical reasons (see par.8).

8. READMISSION AFTER UNSUCCESSFUL STUDY

8.1 Students who do not meet the requirements for re-admission to the Institute for the following semester and consequently must leave the Institute, are given the opportunity, at least two weeks before the start of

the semester in which the failed module(s) may be repeated, to appeal and show why the Faculty Management should consider their re-admission to

their studies. A fully motivated re-application must be drawn up personally by the students and submitted to the Faculty Management. "Fully motivated" means that all relevant information as to the reasons why the

students were not successful and why they expect to be successful in their future studies should be included. Such information may be sensitive and

personal but students have to take the Faculty Management into their confidence. Where available, documents confirming reasons for their poor

performance must be attached. All information will be regarded as strictly confidential. The Faculty Management requires all the information to be able to make a fair decision in the interests of the students. Information

for further motivation cannot be provided after an application has been rejected.

The decision of the Faculty Management will be final and a second appeal will not be considered. 8.2 Students who are refused re-admission may, after two years, re-apply in

writing to be re-admitted as students. The Faculty Management will only consider fully motivated applications.

8.3 Application for admission to the Institute closes on 30 June of the preceding year of study. If students voluntarily interrupt their studies for a year or longer, they must apply in writing for re-admission by or before the

above-mentioned date. The Faculty Management will only consider fully motivated applications.

9. HOSTEL RESIDENCE 9.1 Admission to hostel residence is subject to the availability of rooms. 9.2 Students must apply for hostel residence each year.

9.3 Admission to hostel residence for students who will be repeating is subject to the availability of rooms and screening. Preference is given to

academically successful students. 9.4 Re-admission to hostel residence is subject to the HEMIS credits obtained/

years of study.

10. GENERAL COMMENTS 10.1 Abbreviation and numbering system for subjects and Modules

All subjects are identified by a subject number. Modules are distinguished by a code, in which the year and the semester of the presentation can be read (except stated otherwise). Refer to Content of modules.



Example: Agronomy 55565

AGR 130 (10) Agronomical production techniques (3l + 3p) 55565 is the subject number referring to the subject Agronomy. 130 (10) is

the module code with a credit value of 10, and (3l, 3p) indicates the lecturing capacity and practicals of the module. The module code 130 refers in the first place to the year (e.g. 1 for the first year of study) in

which the module is offered; the second figure (3) refers to different modules of the same teaching presentation (subject) in a specific year of

study and the length of the module (a semester or a year), where 1, and 2 refers to modules that are offered in the first semester, 3, 4 and 5 refers to modules that are offered in the second semester and 7, 8 and 9

refers to modules that stretch over a year. The third figure (0) refers to the relative weighting of the module. The lecture load (lectures l and

practicals p) per week for each module is indicated in brackets. Lectures and practical periods are 40 minutes long; practical periods are normally combined to form a unit, but may also consist of tutorials and semester

presentations. 10.2 Prerequisite pass, prerequisites and co-requisite requirements for modules

Underneath the content of each module the prerequisite pass (S), prerequisite (V) and co-requisite (N) modules will be indicated. A

prerequisite pass module is a module that the student must pass in order to follow the module for which it is prescribed. A prerequisite module is a module in which a satisfactory standard (predicate of at least 40%) must

be obtained before study in the module for which it is prescribed, may be continued. It has to be passed before the degree can be obtained. A co-

requisite module is a module which has to be studied before or in the same semester as the module for which it is prescribed. It has to be passed in an official examination before the degree can be awarded.

Elsenburg: ’n trotse tradisie

Elsenburg se geskiedenis dateer terug na 1698 toe die grond deur die destydse goewerneur, Willem Adriaan van der Stel, aan Samuel Elsevier

toegeken is. Die plaas is tot ’n spogplaas opgebou deur verskeie eienaars, onder wie Martin Melck, wat die deftige ou herehuis in 1761 gebou het. Die

plaas is in 1898 deur die Myburgh-familie aan die Staat verkoop.

Op 1 September 1898 word die Landboukollege geopen, die eerste van sy soort in Suid-Afrika, en aan die einde van die eerste akademiese jaar (Junie 1899) word vyf diplomas toegeken. Gedurende die eerste 14 jaar van sy

bestaan word die gemiddelde studentegetal per jaar op 44 geraam. Die uitbreek van die Eerste Wêreldoorlog het egter ’n merkbare invloed gehad op

studente-inskrywings, sodat daar in 1915 slegs 8 studente was. In 1926 is Elsenburg-landboukollege in die Universiteit van Stellenbosch

opgeneem en is daar voorsiening gemaak vir ’n tweejarige diplomakursus op Elsenburg, met die primêre doel om voornemende boere op te lei. In 1927

word hierdie kursus vervang deur ’n eenjarige kursus, wat in 1931 afgestel en vervang is deur praktiese kursusse. Eers in 1939 word die tweejarige diplomakursus weer ingestel. Elsenburg se verbintenis met die Universiteit van

Stellenbosch is in 1973 na 47 jaar beëindig, waarna die Departement van Landbou verantwoordelikheid vir landbou-opleiding op Elsenburg aanvaar het.

’n Belangrike mylpaal is in 1976 bereik met die instelling van die Diploma in Keldertegnologie, en vandag is bykans 80% van Suid-Afrika se wynmakers

alumni van Elsenburg.

Met die oorgang na ’n demokratiese politieke bestel in Suid- Afrika in 1994 het die Wes-Kaapse Departement van Landbou tot stand gekom. Daarmee saam het die Elsenburg- en Kromme Rhee-landboukollege saamgesmelt. Hierdie

samesmelting het ’n groot verantwoordelikheid op die Departement geplaas ten opsigte van die uitbreiding van onderrigaanbiedinge, en ’n Sentrum vir

Voortgesette Onderwys en Opleiding is gestig met die oog op die behoefte aan kort, praktiese kursusse.

Die verbintenis met die Universiteit van Stellenbosch is na 30 jaar hervat en sedert 2004 bied Elsenburg in samewerking met die Universiteit van

Stellenbosch se Fakulteit Agriwetenskappe ’n driejarige B. Agric-graadkursus aan.

Hierdie verwikkeling is in ooreenstemming met die regering se nuwe akademiese beleid, en bied aan ons tersiêre studente groter beweeglikheid

tussen die twee instellings. Dit verseker ook dat duplisering van opleidingsprogramme nie plaasvind nie. Sedert 1 April 2004 staan Elsenburg-

landboukollege bekend as die Kaapse Instituut vir Landbou-opleiding: Elsenburg.

Suid-Afrika: ’n landbouland!

Die skep van werkgeleenthede en die voorsiening van voldoende veilige voedsel en vesel van hoë gehalte teen bekostigbare pryse is eise wat aan die

landbou gestel word. Die geleenthede en uitdagings in die landbou lê verder in die diversiteit van ons topografie, die variasie van ons grond, die



uiteenlopendheid van ons klimaatstreke en in die vereistes wat kieskeurige verbruikers aan landbouprodukte stel. Landbou moet ook in harmonie met die

natuur beoefen word sonder om natuurlike hulpbronne te beskadig. Ons land het ’n merkwaardige verskeidenheid van fauna en flora wat in die beoefening

van landbou gerespekteer, beskerm en bewaar moet word. Daar word op bepaalde terreine met lewende en lewegewende organismes op so ’n wyse gehandel dat die doelwit om die lewenskwaliteit van almal te verbeter,

bevorder word.

Landbou in Suid Afrika dra byna 5% by tot die bruto binnelandse produk en is ’n belangrike verdiener van buitelandse valuta. Dit is ook ’n groot werkverskaffer en voorsien in die basiese menslike behoeftes van voedsel en

vesel. Agritoerisme raak al belangriker as bedryf en bied ontvlugting aan baie stedelinge. Daar word 83 nuwe werkgeleenthede geskep vir elke R1 miljoen

toename in die finale vraag na landbouprodukte, in vergelyking met ’n ooreenstemmende syfer van net 29 werkgeleenthede in die res van die ekonomie. Dit word algemeen erken dat landbou ’n belangrike rol in

armoedeverligting te speel het.

Grond is ’n belangrike produksiefaktor in die landbou. Die Republiek van Suid-Afrika beslaan ’n oppervlakte van 122,3 miljoen ha waarvan 16 miljoen ha vir

gewasproduksie benut word, nagenoeg 1,5 miljoen ha met bome beplant is en 83 miljoen ha deur natuurlike weiding bedek is. Gronde met optimale fisiese en chemiese toestande is skaars en kom verspreid voor, maar daar is verskeie

unieke grond-klimaatsinteraksies wat die voorsiening van produkte vir nismarkte verseker.

Suid-Afrika is ’n waterskaars land. Sowat 30% van die land ontvang minder as 250 mm reën per jaar, ongeveer 34% ontvang tussen 250 en 500 mm, 25%

tussen 500 en 750 mm per jaar en net 1% van die land ontvang meer as 750 mm reën per jaar. Die reënval is in die grootste dele van die land wisselvallig

en droogtes kom gereeld voor. Weens hierdie en nog ander faktore is Suid-Afrika hoofsaaklik van opgaardamme en ondergrondse waterbronne afhanklik vir watervoorsiening. Net meer as 1,2 miljoen ha is onder besproeiing. Tans is

die landbou nog die grootste gebruiker van water - byna 50% - maar daar is toenemende druk op boerdery om meer water vir industriële en huishoudelike

gebruik af te staan. Water- en besproeiingsbestuur in ons land verg dus besondere kundigheid.

Suid-Afrika is by uitstek ’n landbouland. Ons kan weens die wisselende klimaat en topografie bykans enige gewas verbou. Boonop is ons in die

gelukkige posisie om tans selfvoorsienend te wees in die meeste primêre voedsel- en veselbehoeftes van die land se vinniggroeiende bevolking. Voedselsoorte waarin die land nog nie selfvoorsienend is nie, maar wat in

aansienlike hoeveelhede geproduseer word, is oliesade, rys, tee en koffie. Meer as 33% van die totale waarde van tuinbouproduksie word uitgevoer.

Sagtevrugte maak die grootste volume hiervan uit. Verdere voorbeelde van Suid-Afrikaanse uitvoere is subtropiese vrugte, mielies, suiker, groente, wyn, snyblomme, blombolle, sybokhaar en karakoelpelse. 81% van alle

landbougrond is onder natuurlike weiding wat hoofsaaklik vir ekstensiewe veeboerdery benut word. Dit is byna 70% van die totale landsoppervlakte van

Suid-Afrika.



Daar word met ’n verskeidenheid van diere geboer: grootvee, varke, kleinvee

en pluimvee. Akwakultuur en wildboerdery is sterk groeiende bedrywe met aansienlike potensiaal. Deur na-oeshantering, produkverwerking,

voedselverwerking, voedselopberging en voedselpreservering word waarde tot vars produkte toegevoeg. Die grondslag vir die uiteindelike kwaliteit van die produk wat die verbruiker geniet, word al in die grond of die kudde gelê.

Volhoubare en verantwoordelike plaag- en siektebestuur is hiervoor nodig. Besondere kennis, kundigheid, vaardigheid en bestuursvernuf is nodig vir

volhoubare landbouproduksie. Gegradueerdes kan ’n verskeidenheid van beroepe in die landbou- en aanverwante bedrywe beoefen. Daar is loopbane in bv. boerderybestuur, keldertegnologie, navorsing, onderrig en

konsultasie, asook aanlegbestuur (bv. kelders) en dienslewering (verskaffers). (Inligting verkry van Universiteit van Stellenbosch Jaarboek)

Die profiel van die landboukundige Die afgestudeerde landboukundige beskik oor die nodige kennis, vaardighede

en gesindheid om selfstandig of in spanverband in ’n wetenskaplike landbou-omgewing te funksioneer. Dit sluit in die oordeelkundige toepassing van die

wetenskap om die aanbodketting van ’n verskeidenheid van voedsel- en veselprodukte ekonomies, omgewingsvriendelik en volhoubaar te bestuur ter bevordering van die vooruitgang en welsyn van die mensdom. Om hieraan te

AKADEMIESE REËLS

Hierdie reëls is spesifiek saamgestel vir die Kaapse Instituut vir Landbou-opleiding se Hoër Sertifikaat program-aanbieding.

1. KLASBYWONING EN AFWESIGHEID VAN KLASSE/ PRAKTIKA/

TOETSE/ EKSAMENS Daar word van studente verwag om alle klasse/ praktika/ toetse/ eksamens

by te woon. Bywoningsregisters word deur dosente gehou en afskrifte daarvan word kwartaalliks aan die Direkteur voorgelê. Die volgende reëls is van toepassing:

1.1 Afwesigheid van lesings

Indien dit gedurende die akademiese jaar blyk dat ‘n student se klasbywoning onbevredigend is en die persoon nie op ‘n waarskuwing

in dié verband gereageer het nie, kan dit aan die Direkteur gerapporteer word. Verdere afhandeling van die aangeleentheid word aan die oordeel

van die Direkteur oorgelaat. 1.2 Afwesigheid van prakties 1.2.1 Toestemming vir afwesigheid sal slegs in uitsonderlike omstandighede

verleen word (sien 1.3). Die student is self verantwoordelik vir reëlings

met die betrokke dosent om die praktiese komponent in te haal en/of geëvalueer te word.

1.2.2 In die geval van ongemagtigde afwesigheid van ’n prakties kry die student 'n nulpunt vir enige evaluering en verbeur ook enige reg daartoe.

1.3 Gemagtigde afwesigheid

1.3.1 Gemagtigde afwesigheid word slegs by uitsondering toegestaan en die student is self verantwoordelik vir reëlings in dié verband.

1.3.2 Enige versoek om gemagtigde afwesigheid moet skriftelik en met die nodige motivering en/of bewyse aan die Fakulteitsbestuur gerig word.

1.3.3 Aansoeke om deernisverlof moet direk by die Direkteur of ’n gemagtigde persoon van Studentesake ingedien word.

2. BEPALING VAN 'N PUNT VIR TOELATING TOT DIE EKSAMEN

(PREDIKAATPUNT)

2.1 ’n Predikaatpunt word verwerf deur geskeduleerde en nie-geskeduleerde toetse, werkopdragte, praktiese take en biblioteekwerk.

2.2 In alle modules word twee toetse per semester afgeneem wat in die

normale klastyd geskryf sal word met die oogmerk van deurlopende evaluering. Hierdie toetse is die enigste geskeduleerde geleenthede vir die verwerwing van ‘n predikaat.

2.2.1 ‘n Student móét minstens twee toetse per module skryf om ‘n

predikaatpunt te kan verwerf.

2.2.2 Afwesigheid van so ‘n evalueringsgeleentheid (a.g.v. siekte of ander geldige redes) beteken dat die student dit verbeur. Hy of sy het dan ‘n laaste geleentheid, siektetoets, in daardie module-aanbieding waardeur

hy of sy ’n predikaat kan verwerf.

2.2.3 As ’n student ’n toets nie skryf nie, word ’n nulpunt toegeken.

2.3 Mediese siektesertifikate of ander dokumentasie sal aanvaar word as verskoning vir afwesigheid tydens enige evaluering op voorwaarde

dat dit binne 2 werksdae na die evaluering ingehandig word. Die student moet dan die siektetoets aflê en geen addisionele



toetsgeleenthede sal geskeduleer word nie.

2.4 Uitsonderlike gevalle sal na goeddunke deur die Fakulteitsbestuur

oorweeg word by ontvangs van skriftelike en goed gemotiveerde

vertoë deur die student.

2.5 Samestelling van predikaatpunt:

Die geskeduleerde toetse: minstens 70% van die predikaat

Ander voorgeskrewe evalueringsvorme: hoogstens 30%

Nie-geskeduleerde evalueringsvorme: hoogstens 10%

Die spesifieke samestelling word vir elke module vasgestel.

2.6 ‘n Subminimum van 50% word vir die praktiese komponent vereis. Indien die subminimum van 50% vir die praktiese komponent nie behaal

word nie, verwerf die student nie predikaat nie.

2.7 ’n Predikaatpunt van 40% word vereis vir toelating tot eksamen in

ALLE modules.

2.8 Dit is die student se verantwoordelikheid om te kontroleer dat hy/sy wel predikaat in die onderskeie modules verwerf het. Daarsonder sal toelating tot die eksamen geweier word. Navrae moet onmiddellik

(binne 1 werksdag) na bekendmaking van predikaatpunte aan die Fakulteitsbestuurder gerig word.

3. EKSAMINERING

3.1 Die student word geëksamineer of geëvalueer in alle modules waarvoor hy/sy geregistreer is. ‘n Geldige foto identifikasie moet getoon word by

alle toetse en eksamens. 3.2 Eksaminering/evaluering geskied oor die hele studieveld van die

module. Van studente word verwag om ook op hoogte te bly van die

inhoudelike van voorvereiste modules. (Sien Inhoud van modules)

3.3 Na afloop van elke module-aanbieding word slegs twee gelykwaardige

eksamens, elk met ‘n duur van 1 tot 3 uur, afgeneem. Die twee eksamens vir ‘n module staan onderskeidelik bekend as die

hoofeksamen en die aanvullende eksamen.

3.4 Eksamens word slegs afgeneem tydens amptelik geskeduleerde tye. ‘n Student wat eksamentoelating verwerf het, móét die

hoofeksamengeleentheid benut.

3.4.1 Daar is gedurende die akademiese jaar twee hoofeksamengeleenthede:

(i) Die middeljaar eksamen, waartydens die hoofeksamen in modules van die eerste semester afgeneem word.

(ii) Die einde van die jaar eksamen, waartydens die hoofeksamen in modules van die tweede semester afgeneem word.

3.4.2 Aanvullende eksamens vind plaas onmiddellik na afloop van die hoofeksamen:

(i) Die aanvullende middeljaar eksamen, waartydens 'n aanvullende

eksamen in modules van die eerste semester afgeneem word. (ii) Die aanvullende einde van die jaar eksamen, waartydens 'n

aanvullende eksamen in modules van die tweede semester afgeneem word.

3.5 ’n Student wat afwesig is van die hoofeksamengeleentheid (weens siekte of enige ander geldige rede) verbeur daardie geleentheid. Die aanvullende eksamen is dus die persoon se enigste en finale

geleentheid om eksamen te skryf in 'n bepaalde module en slegs indien goedkeuring deur die Fakulteitsbestuur verleen is (Kyk par. 3.8.).



3.6 Waar 'n student geen eksamen skryf nie, word ‘n nulpunt toegeken en die betrokke module moet herhaal word.

3.7 Gemagtigde afwesigheid van die hoofeksamen sal by uitsondering

toegestaan word.

3.8.1 Studente wat nie die hoofeksamengeleentheid kan benut nie, móét

skriftelik aansoek doen om toelating tot die aanvullende eksamen. Geldige siektesertifikate en/of ander motiverende dokumentasie moet

die aansoek vergesel en binne 2 werksdae na die hoofeksamengeleentheid by Studentesake ingedien word. Die

beslissing van die Fakulteitsbestuur daaroor is finaal. 3.8.2 Studente verbeur toelating tot die aanvullende eksamen indien geen

skriftelike aansoeke ontvang word nie of aansoeke laat ingedien word.

3.9 Uitsonderlike gevalle sal na goeddunke deur die Fakulteitsbestuur oorweeg word by ontvangs van ‘n skriftelike versoek/motivering van die

student.

4. SLAAGVEREISTES

4.1 Semesteronderrig 4.1.1 ‘n Geweegde gemiddelde van minstens 50% (predikaatpunt plus

eksamenpunt) moet behaal word, terwyl daar ook aan die volgende vereistes voldoen moet word:

4.1.1.1 Die eksamenpunt moet 60% van die finale punt uitmaak.

4.1.1.2 Minstens 40% moet in die eksamen behaal word.

4.1.1.3 ’n Subminimum van 50% moet vir prakties behaal word, waar ‘n module uit beide teoretiese en praktiese komponente bestaan.

4.1.2 Die finale punt word soos volg bereken:

Finale punt (100%) = Predikaatpunt (40%) + eksamenpunt (60%)

4.1.3 ‘n Punt van minstens 50% moet behaal word vir die praktiese komponent soos uiteengesit in elke module-inhoud-beskrywing.

4.1.4 'n Punt van minstens 50% word vereis vir aanvullende eksamens, ongeag die predikaat- en hoofeksamenpunt.

4.1.5 Indien die aanvullende eksamen die kandidaat se eerste

eksamengeleentheid is (kyk 3.5 en 3.8), word die finale punt bereken soos beskryf in 4.1.2.

4.1.6 'n Punt van minstens 50% word vereis vir spesiale eksamens (soos beskryf

in 3.8). 4.2 Onderrigprogram 4.2.1 Kyk 4.1.

4.2.2 Alle modules soos deur die onderrigprogram vereis moet geslaag word (kyk bylaag 2: Studierigtings).

4.3 Slaag met onderskeiding 4.3.1 Onderskeiding in die onderrigprogram (kursus)

'n Student slaag die onderrigprogram met onderskeiding indien die gemiddelde punt vir alle voorgeskrewe modules in die program 75% of

meer is. 4.3.2 Onderskeiding in die module-aanbieding

'n Student slaag 'n module-aanbieding met onderskeiding indien 'n

finale punt van 75% of meer vir die module behaal word. 4.4 Aansoek om hernasiening van ’n eksamenskrif

4.4.1 ’n Student wat verlang dat ’n eksamenskrif weer nagesien word, moet binne een werksdag na bekendmaking van die finale uitslag van elke



module skriftelik daarvoor aansoek doen by Studentesake en die vereiste bedrag inbetaal by die kassiere. Geen hernasiening sal oorweeg word

sonder die nodige kwitansie nie.

4.4.2 Alle eksamenskrifte van studente wat druip of vir 'n aanvullende eksamen

kwalifiseer, word gemodereer voordat die uitslae bekend gemaak word.

4.4.3 Die hernasiening van ’n eksamenskrif word deur eksterne moderatore

gedoen en die uitslag daarvan kan moontlik eers kort voor die aanvullende eksamen bekend wees. ’n Student moet hom of haar dus voorberei vir die

aanvullende eksamen ingeval die hernasiening veranderings aantoon.

5. TOELATING TOT DIE AANVULLENDE EKSAMEN

5.1 ‘n Student verkry toelating tot die aanvullende eksamen indien sy of haar eksamenpunte bokant 40% is en/of sy finale punte minder as 50% is.

5.2 ’n Student wat nie die eerste eksamen skryf nie, verbeur daardie

geleentheid. Die aanvullende eksamen is dus die enigste geleentheid om

daardie eksamen te skryf (kyk 3.8 en 4.1.5.).

5.3 ’n Student wat die hoofeksamen afgelê het moet minstens 40% in die eksamen behaal.

5.4 Sou ‘n student ‘n predikaatpunt van ≥ 60% behaal het, maar nie voldoen aan 5.3 nie, kwalifiseer hy of sy vir ‘n aanvullende eksamen.

5.5 Waar ’n student ’n eksamen nie skryf nie, word ‘n nulpunt toegeken.

5.6 Indien 'n student die aanvullende eksamen nie kan of wil aflê nie, word 'n nulpunt toegeken en moet die module herhaal word.

5.7 Uitsonderlike gevalle sal na goeddunke deur die Fakulteitsbestuur oorweeg

word by tydige ontvangs van ’n skriftelike versoek/motivering van die student.

5.8 Slegs een aanvullende eksamengeleentheid word per module toegelaat.

5.9 Daar is geen beperking op die getal modules waarin aanvullende

eksamens afgelê mag word nie, mits voldoen word aan reël 5.3.

5.10 Indien ‘n student vir die verwerwing van ‘n kwalifikasie of uittreevlak slegs

een module-aanbieding kort, kan die Direkteur ‘n Direkteurseksamen toestaan.

6. KONDONERING

Geen kondonering sal toegepas word nie.

7. HERHALING VAN MODULES EN VOORTSETTING VAN DIE

ONDERRIGPROGRAM 'n Student wat 'n module(s) druip, kan die betrokke module(s) herhaal onder die voorwaardes soos uiteengesit in 7.1 en 7.2.

7.1 Herhaling van modules 7.1.1 Herregistrasie van modules word tydens registrasie vir die spesifieke

semester gedoen. ’n Student wat die Instituut moes verlaat, se aansoek om hertoelating moet voor of op 02 Januarie van die herregistrasiejaar ingedien

word. Registrasie sal slegs kan geskied indien skriftelike bewys van hertoelating by registrasie voorgelê word.

7.1.2 Waar botsings in die toets- of eksamenrooster voorkom, moet die student vir die uitstaande modules registreer. Die student moet hom of haar

daarvan vergewis.

7.1.3 Modules wat voorvereistes is vir daaropvolgende modules, moet eers

volledig herhaal en geslaag word voordat voortgegaan kan word met die



volgende modules (kyk by Inhoud van modules).

7.1.4 Enige module waarin ’n student nie ‘n predikaatpunt verwerf het nie, asook enige praktiese komponent waarin deurlopende evaluering gedoen word

en die betrokke student minder as 50% daarin behaal het, moet ten volle herhaal word (kyk na paragraaf 1). Dit sluit in die bywoning van alle klasse

en praktika, die voltooiing van alle werkstukke, take en praktika, asook die aflê van toetse en eksamens. Waar werkstukke, take en seminare gedoen

moet word, moet nuwe werkstukke, take en seminare gedoen word (met nuwe onderwerpe of temas).

7.1.5 ‘n Student wat ‘n predikaatpunt in ‘n module verwerf het, maar dit nie

geslaag het nie, kan vrygestel word van klasbywoning in die betrokke module (op die student se eie risiko), met dien verstande dat 7.1.2 en

7.1.3 geld en 7.1.7 ook van toepassing sal wees. Alle geskeduleerde toetse moet geskryf word, geskeduleerde opdragte en seminare moet voltooi word en geskeduleerde eksamens moet geskryf word. Dit bly die student

se verantwoordelikheid om te verseker dat hy/sy op hoogte is van enige reëlings/veranderinge/afkondigings van modules waarvoor hy/sy

geregistreer is indien hy/sy nie dié modules se klasse bywoon nie.

7.1.6 Die onus rus op die student om op hoogte te bly van die inhoudelike van die

module, met inbegrip van veranderings in die inhoudelike van die module, asook om hom of haar te vergewis van sperdatums, reëlings en vereistes t.o.v. opdragte en werkstukke, asook toetse en eksamens.

7.1.7 By herhaling van ‘n module, moet ‘n student skriftelik aansoek doen binne die eerste twee weke van die akademiese jaar om vrystelling van bywoning van die praktiese komponent te bekom. Vrystelling moet skriftelik deur die

Fakulteitsbestuur goedgekeur word. ‘n Nulpunt vir die prakties sal toegeken word ingeval van afwesigheid sonder goedkeuring.

7.1.8 ’n Student kan hoogstens twee keer registreer vir ’n module (staking van

modules ingesluit), waartydens hy die vak móét slaag om sy studies te kan voortsit. (Kyk ook par. 7.2.)

7.1.9 Volle registrasiegeld en klasgeld, soos voorgeskryf, is betaalbaar vir elke

module wat herhaal word. 7.2 Voortsetting van die onderrigprogram

Vir voortsetting van die Hoër Sertifikaat onderrigprogram moet aan die volgende

vereistes voldoen word:

7.2.1 Studente moet aan die einde van die eerste semester in die eerste jaar van studie, in modules gelykstaande aan minstens 30 krediete geslaag het,

alvorens hulle vir die tweede semester kan registreer. Hulle sal skriftelik versoek word om hul studies te staak indien nie aan hierdie vereiste

voldoen word nie. 7.2.2 Studente wat aan die einde van hul eerste- of derde studiejaar, nie die

vereiste getal HEMIS-krediete in terme van die glyskaal hieronder verwerf

het wat vir die program vereis word nie, word nie verder as student toegelaat nie (1 HEMIS-krediet is gelykstaande aan die totale getal krediete

wat in 'n bepaalde jaargang van 'n program vereis word).

Glyskaal in terme van HEMIS-krediete

Historiese jare 1 2 3

HEMIS-krediete 0.48 1.23 2.03 (HEMIS is die akroniem vir Hoër Onderwys Inligting Bestuur Stelsel)

7.2.3 Studente wat nie aan die einde van die eerste of derde jaar



onderskeidelik 0.43 en 2.03 HEMIS-krediete verwerf het nie, ontvang 'n waarskuwingsbrief dat hul prestasie nie na wense is nie en dat indien hul

prestasie nie verbeter nie, hulle gevaar loop om aan die einde van die daaropvolgende jaar nie hertoelating tot verdere studie te verkry nie.

7.2.4 Ondanks enige andersluidende bepalings, moet studente in die eerste

studiejaar minstens 0.48 HEMIS -krediete en in hul derde studiejaar minstens 0.33 HEMIS -krediete verwerf om die daaropvolgende jaar hul studies voort te sit.

7.2.5 In alle studiejare moet voldoen word aan vereistes in par. 7.1.2, 7.1.3 en 7.1.7.

7.2.6 'n Student wat vir die eerste keer in sy studietydperk voor of op 31 Julie van die gegewe jaar sy studie staak, of op grond van akademiese oorwegings nie toegelaat word om met sy studies voort te gaan nie, sal nie

met sodanige akademiese jaar gedebiteer word t.o.v. hertoelatingsreëls nie. Enige verdere stakings deur dieselfde student sal hertoelatingsreëls

outomaties in berekening gebring word by aansoeke om hertoelating. Hierdie bepaling geld nie in geval van buitengewone omstandighede nie, bv. grondige mediese redes (verwys par. 8).

8. HERTOELATING NA ONSUKSESVOLLE STUDIE

8.1 ’n Student wat nie voldoen aan die vereistes vir hertoelating tot die Instituut vir die volgende semester nie en gevolglik die Instituut moet

verlaat, word die geleentheid gebied om minstens twee weke voor die aanvang van die semester waarin die gedruipte module(s) herhaal kan word, by wyse van appèl aan te toon waarom die Fakulteitsbestuur dit

behoort te oorweeg om hom of haar toe te laat om met studie voort te gaan. ‘n Volledig gemotiveerde heraansoek moet deur die student

persoonlik opgestel word en aan die Fakulteitsbestuur gestuur word. Met "volledig gemotiveerd" word bedoel dat alle toepaslike inligting verstrek moet word waarom die student nie suksesvol was nie en waarom die

student na verwagting voortaan suksesvol sal studeer. Sodanige inligting mag sensitief en persoonlik van aard wees, maar dit is nodig dat die

student die Fakulteitsbestuur ten volle in sy of haar vertroue neem. Waar beskikbaar moet dokumente aangeheg word wat aangevoerde redes vir swak prestasies bevestig. Alle inligting word as streng vertroulik beskou.

Die Fakulteitsbestuur moet oor volledige inligting beskik ten einde in die student se belang ‘n billike besluit te kan neem. Inligting ter verdere

motivering kan nie agterna verstrek word waar ‘n aansoek afgekeur is nie. Die beslissing van die Fakulteitsbestuur is finaal en ‘n tweede appèl sal nie oorweeg word nie.

8.2 ‘n Student wat hertoelating ontsê word, kan na verloop van twee jaar skriftelik aansoek doen om weer as student toegelaat te word. Slegs

volledig gemotiveerde aansoeke sal deur die Fakulteitsbestuur oorweeg word.

8.3 Aansoek om toelating tot die Instituut sluit op 31 Julie van die

voorafgaande jaar van studie. Indien ‘n student sy of haar studie vrywillig vir ‘n jaar of langer onderbreek het, moet hy of sy voor of op die bogenoemde datum skriftelik aansoek doen om hertoelating. Slegs

volledig gemotiveerde aansoeke sal deur die Fakulteitsbestuur oorweeg word.

9. KOSHUISINWONING



9.1 Toelating tot koshuisinwoning is onderhewig aan beskikbaarheid van kamers.

9.2 Studente moet elke jaar aansoek doen vir koshuisinwoning.

9.3 Toelating tot koshuisinwoning vir herhalers is onderhewig aan die beskikbaarheid van kamers en keuring. Voorkeur sal gegee word aan

akademies suksesvolle studente.

9.4 Hertoelating sal geskied aan die hand van die aantal HEMIS krediete verwerf / jare studie.

10. Algemene opmerkings

10.1 Afkorting - en nommerstelsel vir vakke en modules Elke vak word deur ’n vaknommer geïdentifiseer. Elke module word

deur ’n kode onderskei waarin die jaargang en die semester van aanbieding (tensy anders vermeld) saamgevat is (kyk Inhoud van

modules.). Voorbeeld:

Agronomie 55565 AGR 130 (10) Agronomiese produksietegnieke (3l + 3p)

55565 is die vaknommer wat na die vak Agronomie verwys. 130 (10)

is die modulekode met ’n kredietwaarde van 10, en (3l, 3p) dui die doseerlading van die module aan. Die modulekode 130 verwys eerstens na die jaar (bv. 1 vir die eerste studiejaar) waarin die module

aangebied word; die tweede syfer (3) verwys na verskillende modules van dieselfde vak in ’n spesifieke studiejaar en dui die duur van die

module (’n semester of ’n jaar) aan, waar 1 en 2 na modules verwys wat in die eerste semester aangebied word, 3 of 4 verwys na tweedesemestermodules, en 7, 8 en 9 na modules wat oor ’n jaar

strek. Die derde syfer (4) verwys na die relatiewe gewig van die module. Die doseerbelading (lesings l en praktika p) per siklus van elke

module word tussen hakies aangedui. Lesing- en praktikaperiodes duur 40 minute elk; praktiese periodes word normaalweg as ’n eenheid saamgevoeg, maar kan ook uit tutoriale en semesteraanbiedings

bestaan. 10.2 Slaagvoorvereistes, voorvereistes en newevereistes vir modules

Onderaan die inhoud van ’n module word die slaagvoorvereiste (S),

voorvereiste (V) en newevereiste (N) module(s) wat daarop betrekking het, aangedui. ’n Slaagvoorvereiste-module is ’n module wat ’n student moet slaag voordat die module waarvoor dit voorgeskryf is, gevolg kan

word. ’n Voorvereiste-module is ’n module waarin ’n bevredigende standaard (predikaatpunt van minstens 40%) behaal moet word

voordat die studie in die module waarvoor dit voorgeskryf is, voortgesit mag word. Sodanige voorvereiste-module moet geslaag word voordat die graad verwerf kan word. ’n Newevereiste-module is ’n

module wat voor of in dieselfde semester gevolg moet word as die betrokke module waarvoor dit voorgeskryf is en wat in ’n amptelike

eksamen geslaag moet word voordat die graad toegeken mag word.
