HNDIT (SLIATE) qualified applicants are exempted from most of the course modules in the
certificate level and several course modules in the diploma level. Other qualifications need
University Senate approval.
Flexibility is the key
Time and space constraints minimized
Can take longer to complete, lateral entry/exit
Can do part-time, while working
Technology can help a lot
Limited human teacher support
Supported through partner organizations
Learner commitment, discipline needed
New language (medium of instruction)
New learning mode:
Blended: at partners (ESOFT, IDM) with online
and distance learning
New subject matter
May require unlearning some learnt stuff
E.g., how you learn
Need to figure out what works best for you
Technology

Each course module is assigned a credit value
based on the student’s expected workload.
For a typical module extending over one
semester, 1 credit is assumed to involve
about 4 study hours per week for 14 weeks.
Continuous Assessments: laboratory work,
quizzes, discussions, presentations, mid-term
examinations, term papers, and assignments.
Final Examination
Final Project: proposal, mid-evaluation,
demonstration, final evaluation
A student who is unsuccessful in the end-ofsemester examination would be given a grade I
and allowed to upgrade to a maximum grade C,
at a later examination.

D or above: required to earn credit for a course module.
I (incomplete): continuous assessment requirements satisfied and
failed in the end-semester examination. By repeating only the
end-semester examination the grades I, D or C- can be improved
up to a C grade and considered for calculating Semester Grade
Point Average (SGPA).
F (fail): must repeat both continuous assessment and the end-ofsemester components. The maximum grade awarded for
repeating a course module will be a C and it will be used for
calculating SGPA.
T: continuous assessments requirements satisfied, but absent for
the final examination. The student is allowed to sit for the
examination as a first attempt candidate at a subsequent
occasion.
Only the highest grade achieved for each course module will be
entered on student’s permanent record.
SGPA: Semester Grade Point Average
Weighted average of grade points in a semester
GPA: Grade Point Average
Weighted average of grade points up to a given
point in time
Non-GPA courses not taken for calculation
The GPA achieved at Level 3 only will be used
for in awarding of classes
