Message from the Vice-ChancellorDear 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 2016 starts right now and I wish you well along your way.

Your Vice-Chancellor

Dr Prins Nevhutalu

RECOGNITION 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.

Timing

RPL 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.

ACADEMIC PROMOTION AND EXCLUSIONSAcademic “promotion” means the advancement of students who meet the minimum requirements of a particular study level from that particular study level to the next (e.g. from the first-year level to the second-year level) as determined per qualification by the academic department and the relevant Faculty Board, approved by Senate and contained in the Faculty Handbook.

Please note that the curricula in this faculty include certain pre- and co-requisite subjects. These must be completed successfully before registration for the subsequent subjects can be done.

Academic “exclusion” is the process by which the university assesses the progress of a student towards the completion of their degree. If you are excluded, you have the right to present evidence and a motivation to the relevant committee, arguing that there were special circumstances which make this exclusion unfair.

Promotion criteria and academic exclusion rules and appeal proceduresNormal progression from one academic year to the next dictates that all subjects in the prescribed curriculum for that academic year be completed successfully. However, the following concession is made:

Students are allowed to carry failed subjects from one academic year to the next, as follows:

Departments of Nursing, Medical Imaging & Therapeutic Sciences, and Emergency Medical Sciences

Students are allowed to only carry one (1) failed subject to the next academic year.

Departments of Biomedical Sciences, Dental Sciences, and Wellness Sciences

Students are allowed to carry two (2) failed subjects to the next academic year.

Department of Ophthalmic Sciences Students are allowed to carry two (2) failed subjects to the next academic year; In addition students will only be allowed to register for the Workplace Learning component in 3rd year if two (2) or less subjects are carried from 2nd year into 3rd year.


The above concession will be made provided there are no timetable clashes, please refer to the specific departments’ rules in this regard.

The following conditions (as prescribed by the relevant professional bodies) MUST be met in order for students to progress from one study period (academic year) to the next:

Exclusion Criteria• Students who do not pass a total of 50% of the registered subjects in that academic year

will be excluded. • If a student is excluded from the ECP they are also excluded from the mainstream

qualification, i.e. they cannot register for the mainstream qualification after having been excluded from the ECP.

• Students will have a maximum of two (2) attempts (one original and one repeat) to pass a subject, after which the student will be excluded from continuing with the qualification.

• A student must comply with the Faculty rule of maximum time allowed in which to complete the qualification, which is based on double the minimum number of years; except for the N Dip Dental Technology for which the maximum time is 5 years (as prescribed by the Dental Council of South Africa).

• Students will have a maximum of two (2) years to complete EACH study period, with the exception of the ECP (as described above).

A student will be notified in writing of his/her exclusion from the qualification, and then havethe right to appeal the decision.

Department of Emergency Medical Sciences

In order to be awarded the qualification, students must have at least 80% attendance for every subject over the duration of the programme

Department of Nursing Students must complete 4000 hours of clinical practice for the regulation R425 qualification. The hours and all course requirements must be completed before a student can be registered as a professional nurse with SANC or commence with community service.

Clinical placement hours are calculated as 1000 hours per academic year to ensure that clinical practice is aligned with theory and students receive mentoring in the clinical placement area. Students must complete 80% of clinical hours to be allowed to enter for the assessment in the June and November assessments.


Process for appeals against exclusions

• A student who has been excluded must submit an application to the Head of Department applying for re-admission, along with ALL relevant information (and any supporting documents).

• All appeals will serve at the Faculty appeals committee for consideration.• Departments will provide feedback to students, and if the appeal is approved, the

student continues with the registration process.

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.

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