Rate of Progress

1.  A full-time student is expected to maintain a satisfactory rate of progress by earning at least the following number of credits or courses by the end of the specified semester:

  • Second semester: 30 credits or 10 courses
  • Fourth semester: 60 credits or 20 courses
  • Sixth semester: 90 credits or 30 courses

2.  A part-time student is expected to maintain a satisfactory rate of progress by earning at least the following number of credits or courses by the end of the specified semester:

  • Second semester: 18 credits or 6 courses
  • Fourth semester: 36 credits or 12 courses
  • Sixth semester: 54 credits or 18 courses
  • Eighth semester: 72 credits or 24 courses
  • Tenth semester: 90 credits or 30 courses

3. A full-time student will be required to withdraw from the Faculty unless, at the end of the specified semester, the student has earned at least the following number of credits:

  • Second semester: 15 credits
  • Fourth semester: 33 credits
  • Sixth semester: 51 credits
  • Eighth semester: 69 credits

4. A part-time student will be required to withdraw from the Faculty unless, at the end of the specified semester, the student has earned at least the following number of credits:

  • Second semester: 6 credits
  • Fourth semester: 18 credits
  • Sixth semester: 24 credits
  • Eighth semester: 39 credits
  • Tenth semester: 54 credits
  • Twelfth semester: 72 credits
  • Fourteenth semester: 90 credits

4.  The satisfactory rate of progress may be influenced by factors such as failures, leave of absence, withdrawal, academic suspension, course availability, change of enrolment status, i.e., fulltime to parttime or vice versa, the addition of a second major or minor, and transfers to name a few.

5.  Students meeting the eligibility criteria may be granted permission to pursue additional credits starting from their fourth semester, allowing for an accelerated rate of progression.

6.  Students also have the option to accelerate the progression of their programme by enrolling in courses offered in the Summer School Programme (SSP). It's important to note that participation in the SSP is optional and is not factored into the considerations outlined in points 1 and 2 above.

7.  Credits gained from courses done in another programme will not be counted towards the rate of progress.
