S.L. 327.440 Art. 6Assessment and progress.

(1) The assessment of each taught study-unit shall be completed by the end of the semester in which the teaching of the study-unit is held.

(2) Students who in any academic year fail in the assessment of not more than 20 ECTS credits, if following the full-time Course, or not more than 10 ECTS credits if following the part-time Course, shall be given the opportunity to re-sit the failed assessment/s during the September assessment session. Provided that students who fail in a study-unit involving a placement that requires assessment over a period of time shall not have the right to a supplementary assessment and shall be required to withdraw from the course.

(3) Subject to the conditions specified in paragraph (2) of this bye-law, students who fail the assessment of a study-unit involving a work placement, clinical practice or any other unit that requires assessment over a period of time, when it is not practicable or possible for the re-assessment to be undertaken during the same academic year, shall be required to re-do the unit during an additional year. The additional year shall not be taken into account for the purpose of Course duration. If successful on re-assessment of such units, and if otherwise eligible, students shall be allowed to continue with the Course at the next available opportunity.

(4) Students who fail in more than the number of credits permitted under paragraph (2) of this bye-law, or students who after re-assessment fail to obtain credit for any study-unit, shall be required to withdraw from the course.
