(ii) Students will be granted credit for not more than six modules towards the BSc degree for modules or courses passed BEFORE the Mathematics admission requirements to the College have been met.

(e) Students who do not have matriculation exemption as stated in AG17(1)(a) but who hold a senior or school leaving certifi cate:

There are two possibilities:

(i) Students who obtained a rating of less than 4 or 50% in Mathematics OR students who obtained less than 40% (E symbol) in Mathematics HIGHER GRADE or less than 50% (D symbol) in Mathematics STANDARD GRADE at matriculation level.

Such students must register for CSS011 (English for Science Access) and MAT011 (Access to Mathematics), and may register for a maximum of two modules from the list given in AG17(1)(c) for non-degree purposes. When both CSS011 and MAT011 have been passed the student may apply for a Senate discretionary conditional exemption certifi cate, and any of the modules from the list in AG17(1)(c) that have been passed can be recognised as credits towards a BSc degree.

(ii) Students who obtained a rating of less than 4 or 50% in Mathematics OR students who obtained at least 40% (E symbol) in Mathematics HIGHER GRADE or at least 50% (D symbol) in Mathematics STANDARD GRADE at matriculation level.

Such students must register for CSS011 (English for Science Access), and may register for a maximum of two fi rst-level modules in the subjects given at the beginning of Chapter 2, except for those modules where the student does not satisfy the stated mathematics or other prerequisites, or does not satisfy the stated co-requisites. When CSS011 and the two fi rst-level modules has been passed the student may apply for a Senate discretionary conditional exemption certifi cate, and any fi rst-level modules mentioned in the previous sentence that have been passed can be recognised as credits towards a BSc degree.

NB If you hold a senior or school leaving certifi cate without a matriculation exemption, matriculation or university admission endorsement, you should

contact the University in connection with conditional exemption (e.g. on grounds of age (+23)) – see Sc1(1) NB 1. If you fi rst obtained a senior or school leaving certifi cate without a matriculation exemption, matriculation or university admission endorsement, and then

began studies for an approved THREE- or FOUR-YEAR DIPLOMA (e.g. at a Teachers’ College, a Technikon, a University or a Nursing College that was affi liated to a South African university), you can normally apply to the University for a certifi cate of exemption on completion of the diploma.

A certifi ed copy of the relevant document under AG17(1)(a) AND evidence that you have satisfi ed the Mathematics requirement in AG117(1)(b)(i)–(iv) or AG17(1)(c), must accompany your FIRST application for registration.

See G13 in Section 1 in connection with applications for a certifi cate of exemption, conditional exemption and exemption by virtue of qualifi cations obtained in other countries.

(2) Application for registration for a second BSc degreeA student who has completed a BSc or another degree in Science or Engineering may not register for a second BSc degree without permission of the Senate. Applications must be submitt ed on the prescribed form which appears at the end of Section 6. The application must be accompanied by a statement of all the courses already passed, unless he/she completed his/her previous qualifi cation(s) at Unisa. The sixteen modules on second and third level prescribed in accordance with Rule Sc5(1)(a) must be passed at this University towards the second BSc degree. Exemption from these modules cannot be granted. A student may not choose as a major subject for the second BSc degree a subject which was passed as a major subject for the fi rst BSc degree.

(3) Application for registration for a BSc degree aft er a completed Bachelors degreeStudents who have completed a Bachelors degree (not necessarily in Science) must pass the sixteen modules on second and third level prescribed in accordance with Rule Sc5(1)(a) at this university. Exemption from these modules may not be granted.If a student is exempted from one or more modules (or a course) on third-year level on the grounds of courses passed at this or another university towards a completed degree, such modules/courses will NOT be counted as part of a major subject towards the BSc degree, except in the case of third-level modules that were previously passed at this university for the National Certifi cate in Datametrics or for non-degree purposes (NDP) in accordance with the provisions of Sc13(1)(d). See also Sc7(3). The sixteen modules on second and third level prescribed by Rule Sc5(1)(a) must be passed at this University.

(4) Students who want to register for Computing as a major should(a) have access to an Internet Café or a Unisa Regional Learning Centre or other Internet facility. Aft er registration access to myUnisa

on a regular basis is compulsory.(b) have passed Computer Application Technology or Information Technology with a rating of 4 (new NSC) or passed Computer

Studies (NSC) or hold an Industry Standard qualifi cation such as the ICDL in Computer Literacy. Students who do not satisfy this requirement, must pass EUP1501 BEFORE they may register for COS111U or INF1511.

AG18 Defi nitions

(1) Study units in all subjects are known as MODULES.(2) A student receives credit for each study unit passed – see Sc6 in Part 7 of the Calendar.(3) If Module A is a PREREQUISITE for Module B, a student must pass Module A before he/she enrols for Module B.(4) If Module A is a CO-REQUISITE for Module B and a student wishes to enrol for Module B but has not yet passed Module A, he/she must

register for Modules A and B simultaneously.

A student may NOT cancel his/her enrolment for a co-requisite unless the module(s) for which it is prescribed is(are) also cancelled.(5) Modules, courses and the papers of second- and third-year courses are designated by codes consisting of seven characters. The fi rst three

indicate the subject, the fourth the level of the study unit and the next two the number of the unit. The seventh character is for purposes of control.

EXAMPLESCHE101N is module number 1 (or 101) on level 1 in the subject ChemistryCHE213V is module number 3 (or 213) on level 2 in the subject ChemistryMAT301S is module number 1 (or 301) on level 3 in the subject Mathematics

NBThe FULL CODE (eg MAT101L or MAT102M) for each study unit must be used by students in all cases. The full codes will be found in the respective subject chapter in Part 2 of the Calendar.

(6) The examination in each module with a theoretical component consists of one paper of two hours (or, in specifi ed cases, three hours).

AG19 Duration of study and number of study units per year

(1) The BSc degree cannot be completed in under THREE YEARS. It must be obtained within eight years of a student’s fi rst registration for the degree.

(2) ON FIRST REGISTRATION and on RE-ENROLMENT at this University the number of study units for which a student may register is determined by ‘Number of study units per year’ in Section D3 in Part 1 of the Calendar.

NB(i) A student who is restricted to registration for FOUR modules may register for ONE of the following as an additional module: CSS101H (Comprehension Skills for Science) MAT1510 (Precalculus Mathematics A) MAT1511 (Precalculus B)

All three modules may be taken as additional modules only by students who register for a maximum of two other modules.(ii) One course is regarded as the equivalent of four modules for the purpose of this rule, and two courses as the equivalent of eight modules.

BSc (with specialisation in Environmental Management)

Purpose: the purpose of the programme is twofold. Firstly, to deliver competent emerging professionals who have a holistic approach to environmental issues as well as a focused knowledge of the human impact on the natural, socio-economic and cultural environments, and who are equipped with the necessary skills and knowledge to participate in the work of an environmental Management team. Secondly, to deliver citizens who have the knowledge to act as responsible and knowledgeable stakeholders in environmental decision making.

This degree may be taken in any of the following specialisation directions:BotanyChemistryZoology

Botany option (02089 – ENB)

Purpose: it will provide BSc graduates with the knowledge, skills and a broad theoretical and practical competence to occupy entry level positions as professionals in the fi eld of environmental management, and who are able to apply their knowledge and skills concerning Geography and Botany in environmental analysis and problem solving, specifi cally relating to interaction between humans and plants. This stream also forms the basis for further postgraduate studies in Geography and Botany.

Old curriculumNB

at least 50% and the subminimum opposite the module concerned must be obtained.In the case of modules with both a practical and a theoretical component, credit for one component (practical or theoretical) can be retained for a maximum of two successive calendar years aft er the year in which it was passed, on condition that the student passes the other component within that period. The student must re-enrol for the module concerned in the year(s) in which the uncompleted component is repeated
