Additional Courses or Extra Credit

Additional courses or extra credits are those taken in excess of the number of courses normally permitted in any semester or academic year.

It is important to note that full-time students are billed per annum while part-time students are billed per credit.

  • Full-time students who have obtained a GPA of 3.0 or above after completing three semesters.
  • Full-time students with fewer than 13 courses to complete their programme.
  • Part-time students who have obtained a GPA of 3.0 or above after completing three semesters.
  • Part-time students who have satisfied the requirements for full-time matriculation.
