of times, the final mark given shall be the average of the marks obtained in the different sittings if this
average is higher than 50% or 50% if the average obtained is less than 50%. Only this average mark
shall be used to calculate the student’s cumulative grade point average (GPA). The fail mark shall no
longer enter into the calculation of the cumulative grade point average (GPA).
In each semester (semester one and two), the student shall register for courses totalling not less than
30 credits. A student who fails to obtain a mark of 50/100 for any course at the end of the semester
shall be obliged to resit the course(s).
