10 ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS

ACADEMIC PROMOTION AND EXCLUSIONS

Academic “promotion” means the advancement of students who meet the minimum requirements of a particular study level from that

particular study level to the next (e.g. from the first-year level to the second-year level) as determined per qualification by the academic

department and the Faculty Board, approved by Senate and contained in the Faculty Handbook.

Please note that the curricula in this faculty include certain pre- and co-requisite subjects. These must be completed successfully before

registration for the subsequent subjects can be done.

Academic “exclusion” is the process by which the university assesses the progress of a student towards the completion of their

qualification. If you are excluded, you have the right to present evidence and a motivation to the Faculty Admissions committee,

arguing that there were special circumstances which make this exclusion unfair.

The B Tech Nursing main and extended programmes are phasing out on the Athlone, Boland and George campuses from 2018. The B

Tech Nursing first year intake is at the Bellville campus from 2019. The current post basic programmes are also in the process of being

phased out according to the requirements of SANC, that will guide on approval and implementation new post basic programmes.

Promotion criteria and academic exclusion rules and appeal procedures

Normal progression from one academic year to the next dictates that all subjects in the prescribed curriculum for that academic year be

completed successfully. However, the following concession is made:

Students are allowed to carry failed subjects from one academic year to the next, as follows:

Departments of Nursing, Medical Imaging & Therapeutic Sciences, and Emergency Medical Sciences

Students are allowed to only carry one (1) failed subject to the next academic year excluding clinical subjects. Clinical subjects in Nursing may not to be carried to next year.

Departments of Biomedical Sciences, Dental Sciences, and Wellness Sciences

Students are allowed to carry two (2) failed subjects to the next academic year excluding practical subjects.

Department of Ophthalmic Sciences Students are allowed to carry a maximum of two (2) failed subjects to the next academic year;

In addition, students will only be allowed to register for the Workplace Learning component in 3rd year if two (2) or less subjects are carried from 2nd year into 3rd year.

The above concession will be made provided there are no timetable clashes, please refer to the specific departments’ rules in this

regard.

The following conditions (as prescribed by the relevant professional bodies) MUST be met in order for students to progress from one

study period (academic year) to the next:

Department of Emergency Medical Sciences

In order to be awarded the qualification, students must have at least 80% attendance for every subject over the duration of the programme

Department of Nursing Science

Students must complete 4000 hours of clinical practice for the regulation R425 qualification. The hours and all course requirements must be completed before a student can be registered as a professional nurse with SANC or commence with community service.

Clinical placement hours are calculated as 1000 hours per academic year to ensure that clinical practice is aligned with theory and students receive mentoring in the clinical placement area. Students must complete 80% of clinical hours to be allowed to enter for the last assessment in a subject in June and November assessments. From 2019 it is a requirement that all

11 ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS

post basic students must be registered at SANC as stipulated in Act 2005 as amended.

Exclusion Criteria

• Students who do not pass a total of 50% of the registered subjects in that academic year will be excluded.

• If a student is excluded from the ECP they are also excluded from the mainstream qualification, i.e. they cannot register for the

mainstream qualification after having been excluded from the ECP.

• Students will have a maximum of two (2) attempts (one original and one repeat) to pass a subject, after which the student will be

excluded from continuing with the qualification.

• A student must comply with the Faculty rule of maximum time allowed in which to complete the qualification, which is based on

double the minimum number of years; except for the N Dip Dental Technology for which the maximum time is 5 years (as

prescribed by the South African Dental Technicians Council).

• Students will have a maximum of two (2) years to complete EACH study period, with the exception of the ECP (as described

above).

A student will be notified in writing of his/her exclusion from the qualification, and then have the right to appeal the decision.


RECOGNITION OF PRIOR LEARNING

Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) is a process of identifying a student’s knowledge and skills against a qualification or part thereof.

The process involves the identification, mediation, assessment and acknowledgement of knowledge and skills obtained through

informal, non-formal and/or formal learning. RPL provides an opportunity for a student to identify his/her learning, have it assessed and

formally acknowledged. At CPUT, RPL can only be done against qualifications offered by CPUT. As a University of Technology,

CPUT has two options for RPL namely “Access” or “Advanced Standing” or it can be a combination thereof.

GAINING ACCESS

If you have considerable work experience, but you don’t meet the entry requirements of your chosen course, you may want to apply for

entry into a qualification. This is referred to as “access”. The RPL application is evaluated against the entry requirements of the

qualification. If access is granted, the qualification on the lower level is not awarded.

ADVANCED STANDING

As an individual, you might have gained knowledge in specific areas. When compared to outcomes against a CPUT qualification, your

knowledge might cover some subjects. You may apply for recognition of these subjects and this is called “Advanced Standing”. Once

the assessment is done, the University might give recognition for specific subjects, but not for the entire qualification. You will be

required to complete outstanding subjects before the qualification is awarded. There are guidelines governing the minimum number of

subjects for which advanced standing can be granted and you are required to register as a student and complete the outstanding

subjects in order to be awarded the qualification by CPUT. This is in terms of the “residency clause”, 50% of a programme has to be

completed at the qualification awarding institution. The residency clause requires RPL applicants to complete at least 50% of subjects

as a student with CPUT.

APPLYING FOR ACCESS INTO A POST-GRADUATE PROGRAMME

If you want to apply for access into a post-graduate qualification, you will be evaluated against the under-graduate qualification. For

example, if you want to do the B Tech in Business Administration and you are working as a nurse manager, you can apply for

“advanced standing” against the National Diploma in Marketing to obtain access into the B Tech: Business Administration or the B

Tech: Marketing. Indicate this clearly in your letter of motivation to the University.

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN EXEMPTIONS & ADVANCED STANDING

If you have successfully completed subjects with other institutions of Higher Education in South Africa, including the former technikons

or professional institutions, you may apply for “exemptions”. This is handled by the Faculty Office. However, especially if you have

worked for a number of years, you must include your academic record from these institutions as part of your RPL application.

RETURNING STUDENTS

If you studied at either Peninsula or Cape Technikon more than 10 years ago, the validity of your subjects have lapsed (refer to CPUT

Academic Rules and Regulations booklet). You may apply to the University to use the RPL process to complete your qualification.

Candidates must provide the required information to the RPL Unit.

The closing date for applications for RPL is the 30th of June of every year.

Contact: E-mail: [email protected]


INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS

If you have a qualification from abroad, please have that qualification evaluated by the South African Qualifications Authority (SAQA)

Unit for the Evaluation of Foreign Qualifications before you submit your RPL application - go to www.saqa.org.za. Once your

qualification has been evaluated and you don’t meet the entry requirements of the programme that you would like to do, or you want

credit for what you already know, contact the RPL Unit for further advice.

PROCEDURE FOR THE EVALUATION OF INTERNATIONAL QUALIFICATIONS

Students following the Cambridge System should note the following requirements:

Students must have:

Passes in at least FIVE different subjects of the IGCSE and HIGCSE study levels, of which at least TWO are HIGCSE level subjects.

A pass in the language which is the medium of instruction at the University (English)

Specific pass grades: IGCSE A, B or C and HIGCSE 1,2 or 3.

In addition, students wishing to apply for either the Masters or Doctoral degree programmes, must have their qualifications evaluated

by the South African Qualifications Authority (SAQA) prior to submitting their application forms (see below).

The onus is on the student to apply timeously to SAQA as this may take a bit longer.

Applicants who obtained qualifications from within Commonwealth countries, are exempt from SAQA evaluation procedures.

Other senior school qualifications will be reviewed on merit. In some instances, where the format of secondary school education is

unfamiliar, students applying for Diploma and Degree programmes may also be asked to apply for SAQA evaluation prior to their

acceptance. Applications towards a Diploma or Degree do not require SAQA verification for students from Commonwealth Countries.

As from 1 August 2014, SAQA will only accept online applications for the evaluation of international qualifications. The application form

and more information can be accessed from SAQA’S website viz http://www.saqa.org.za

You must include the following with your application:

All qualification documents i.e. the highest school certificate issued by the official examining body. Complete and legible transcripts of

academic records in respect of all degrees or other higher education qualifications, together with the final certificates, preceding

qualifications leading to any post graduate or other advanced qualification when the latter is submitted. Certificates in foreign

languages should be submitted with sworn translations into English by an accredited translator.

Proof of payment using the submission number that was allocated to you.

STUDY PERMITS FOR INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS

As soon as an international student has received their letter of acceptance, they must apply to the SA Trade Representative closest to

their home for a study permit if they are not a South African citizen. The study permit must indicate that the student has been granted

permission to study at the Cape Peninsula University of Technology.

SUBMISSION OF CERTIFICATES

A National Senior Certificate or equivalent qualification must be submitted by the student upon enrolment at the beginning of the

academic year. If this requirement is not met, the University will be forced to cancel the provisional acceptance.

http://www.saqa.org.za/

http://www.saqa.org.za/


TRANSFERS FROM OTHER INSTITUTIONS

Students who wish to transfer to CPUT from other institutions should note that priority will be given to the promotion of our own

registered students and that transfers will only be considered in the event that there is a place on the course and subject to the

following requirements:

• Applicants should complete the prescribed “Application for Admission” form and return it to CPUT, together with a certified copy of

his/her Senior Certificate, identity document, academic record and the prescribed application fee.

• If the applicant is currently registered for a course at another university and wishes to transfer to CPUT, he/she should submit,

together with the application form, a progress report (issued by the Registrar of the said University) which lists all the subjects

passed by the applicant during the mid-year examinations.

• As soon as the year-end examination results are available, the applicant should submit a formal statement of these results to

CPUT.

• All applications must be accompanied by a certificate of good conduct, or a letter of recommendation, from the applicant’s present

Head of Department.

• If the applicant is accepted, he/she shall be required to complete an “Application for Exemption” form and to pay the prescribed

exemption fee, per subject, when he/she registers in January of the year of study. The form must be submitted to the Faculty

Office.

• Documents to be attached to the application form

• Official original academic record/transcript indicating percentages obtained as issued by the university where you studied.

• Syllabus of the subjects that you passed.

• Proof of payment

• A letter from the institution indicating the NQF level of the subject that was passed.

• If a subject was passed at a private institution, the applicant must submit a letter from that institution indicating its SAQA

registration number.

NB: Applicants should note that certain rules may apply for e.g. maximum number of subjects, maximum number of years to complete

qualification etc.

Students who wish to transfer from another university to register for Nursing Science, need to provide proof of termination at SANC at

the previous institution, before registration at CPUT.

ADMISSION

APPLICATION FOR ADMISSION

It is advisable that applications for admission to study at the Cape Peninsula University of Technology (CPUT) be submitted as early as

possible to the campus of choice. For the various campuses see the application form and guide to the completion of the application

form. The application form must be completed online via the University’s website at www.cput.ac.za.

CLOSING DATE FOR APPLICATIONS

The closing date for applications for South African students is 30 September but the closing date for the Nursing programmes is 30

June. The closing date for applications from International students is 31 August. Applicants will be informed of acceptance/non

acceptance after 31 October.

RESIDENCE ACCOMMODATION Residence accommodation is subject to availability, in terms of the rules, and will be allocated at the campus where the student will be

studying. Part-time students are not permitted to stay in the residences.

http://www.cput.ac.za/


STUDENT IDENTITY CARDS

Students are issued with identity cards at the beginning of each academic year. Presentation of these cards when buying materials,

booking of theatres, etc. may mean special discount rates. For security purposes, these cards must be presented on demand.

BURSARIES & LOANS

Bursary and financial aid applications must be submitted to the Financial Aid Department which is situated on the 5th floor in the

Administration Building, Cape Town Campus and 1st floor in the Student Centre, Bellville Campus.

CLASS & EXAMINATION FEES

A class fees list is available from the Faculty Office. Examination fees are included in the class fees. After the initial payment in

January, the remainder of the fees owing can be paid in monthly instalments from February to November (or over five months for

semester subjects). Please note that these fees are subject to change every year and are not refundable.

PRESCRIBED BOOKS

The titles and prices of prescribed text books that students must purchase are available at the book shops on the Bellville and Cape

Town Campuses. Reference books and technical journals are available to students in the library. Students should not purchase books

until instructed to do so by the subject lecturers.

WORK-INTEGRATED LEARNING (WIL)

Work Integrated Learning (WIL) is a partnership between the student, the university and industry partners. The clinical competencies

acquired by our graduates serve as the foundation of the programmes offered in the faculty where a WIL methodology is used at

undergraduate level. The faculty has close relationships with industry partners and rely heavily on stakeholder engagements. Such

engagements ensure continuous enhancement and relevance of all programmes making students more employable and well sought

after at national and international levels. Professional knowledge and skills are enhanced when students are exposed to real-life

situations in accredited facilities under the supervision of qualified health care professionals. Staff and students contribute meaningfully

to society through active involvement in Community Engagement and Service-Learning projects promoting social awareness in various

communities.

Please note the following – in some departments the following may apply:

· No transport is provided to and from work-place learning sites;

· Proof of Hepatitis B vaccination is needed prior to placement in health care facilities;

· Additional expenses in terms of accessories, uniform and registration with professional bodies.

HOURS OF TUITION

Full-time classes commence at 08:30 until approximately 16:00. In some departments practical teaching activity may continue after

16:00. Note that examinations may be set after hours up to 20:00.


CLASS ATTENDANCE

Continued acceptance of a student’s registration for full-time qualifications depends, amongst other things, upon sustained academic

progress and regular and punctual attendance. Unsatisfactory progress and attendance may result in the suspension of a student.

MEDIUM OF TUITION

The medium of tuition is English, except for the Education Qualifications at the Wellington Campus which are offered in Afrikaans.

Afrikaans and Xhosa speaking students may be offered support, which may be by way of language-specific tutorial groups, the

provision of notes and the setting of tests, assignments and examinations in the first language of the student.

LIBRARY

The CPUT Library is part of the Cape Library Cooperative (CALICO) that gives access to four million books and numerous magazines

in various libraries in the Peninsula. In addition, the library offers excellent facilities for study and provision is made for students who

wish to do research work. All students automatically become members of the library.

STUDENT COUNSELLING

CPUT offers a counselling service by registered psychologists to students, prospective students and their parents. Prospective

students are individually interviewed and assisted to make a responsible career choice. Parents are welcome to attend such

interviews. Career counselling may also include complete psychometric evaluation.

Prospective students and registered students, who have problems regarding career choice, the planning of their qualification or choice

of subjects, can make an appointment at:

Cape Town Campus: Tel: +27 21 460 3252/3/4

Bellville Campus: Tel: +27 21 959 6182

ASSESSMENT

Assessment takes place throughout the year with final assessments in June and/or November each year and a pass mark of 50% must

be obtained in all subjects. In each subject, the various assessments contribute towards the final assessment mark.

The assessment mark for a subject will be determined by a student’s performance in tests, assignments and in accordance with the

requirements for each qualification.

INDEMNITY

A student involved in any university-related activity, whether academic, sporting, cultural or relating to experiential or practical training,

shall indemnify the Cape Peninsula University of Technology (herein after referred to as CPUT) and its staff and/or any co-operative

partner and its staff, or their representatives against any claim of whatsoever nature which such students, his/her executors or assigns

may now or in the future have, arising from any injury or the sequelae thereto and which may be instituted against CPUT as a result of

such university-related activities; and against any liability that may arise from an action or omission by such student. A student,

furthermore, shall undertake not to hold CPUT or any of its employees responsible for any damage of whatsoever nature that such


student may sustain during or arising from any university-related activity, irrespective of whether it occurs on or off the premises of

CPUT. It is expected of students in the Department of Nursing Science to sign an indemnity form as part of the agreement with the

Provincial Department of Health for placements in practice.

INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS

International students should consult the International Student Guide (or visit our website: www.cput.ac.za) for details regarding their

application to study at the University, e.g. study permit, fees structure etc.

RESEARCH

The Cape Peninsula University of Technology actively promotes research, believing that a strong research activity is a necessary

feature of any institution offering higher education. Students are sensitised to the importance of information and library skills during

their first three years of study, introduced to research methodologies in the degree year, and provided with guidance and facilities to

undertake independent research for further studies.

The Guide to Postgraduate Studies is available on the CPUT website:

http://www.cput.ac.za

http://www.cput.ac.za/


PART-TIME STUDY

HOURS OF TUITION Some of the qualifications described in this brochure are offered on a part-time basis. Lectures are scheduled from Mondays to

Thursdays between 17:15 and 20:50. The object of this is to enable persons who do not have the privilege of studying on a full-time

basis to acquire tertiary qualifications. The information contained in this brochure generally also applies to part-time students.

ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS The admission requirements are the same as for full-time students. As a rule, accommodation in a university residence is not available

to part-time students.

SUBJECTS: GUIDE TO TERMINOLOGY

Core subject:

These subjects form a central part of the programme. Inclusion of such courses in a curriculum is compulsory

Co-requisite A co-requisite subject is one for which a student must be registered together with (i.e. concurrently) another specified subject e.g Maths 1 must be taken in the same semester as Mechanics 1 (unless the student has already passed it) as Mechanics 1 relies on content given in Maths 1.

Pre-requisite A pre-requisite subject is one which a student must have passed in order to gain admission to another subject e.g. Maths 1 is a pre-requisite for Maths 2.

Exposure An exposure subject is one which a student must have completed, but does not have to have passed in order to gain admission to another subject e.g. Maths 2 is an exposure subject for Thermodynamics 2.

Elective subject Subjects required for degree purposes (e.g. to make up required number of credits), but in which the choice of courses is left to the student, and subject to timetable constraints.

Subjects ending in an ”X” are Extended Curriculum subjects.


FACULTY EXCLUSION RULES & PROCEDURES

Each qualification that is offered in the Faculty has its own specific promotion and academic exclusion rules. These rules can be found

under each qualification listed in this Hand Book.

MAXIMUM TIME ALLOWED TO COMPLETE A PROGRAMME The maximum time allowed to complete a programme shall be double the minimum completion duration, for example, 6 years for a 3-

year qualification. In addition, students would be given a maximum of one chance to repeat a semester, year, subjects, course or

module. In other words, repeaters are limited to one repeat.

Where a student has only one or two subjects remaining to completion and is nearing the maximum number of years for registration,

he/she may apply, with appropriate motivation, to the Dean’s office for extension of the period of registration for an additional year.

Normal appeal procedures will also be applied.

THE GENERAL EXCLUSION PROCESS Students’ final assessment results are obtained from the Assessment & Graduation Centre at the end of the academic year. A

Departmental Committee, consisting of lecturers, then conducts a marks review. If committee makes recommendations on final mark

adjustments and identifies students for exclusion based on the criteria of each respective programme.

A general letter from the Department informs the student that he/she has been excluded from the programme. This letter gives the

deadline for appeals and details of the steps to be taken for readmission to the programme. It also details the reasons for exclusion

and identifies the exclusion rules that have been contravened. Students who have been excluded are blocked from registering by the

Faculty Office and will not be able to register for any subjects in the following year.

Students may appeal against exclusion on the basis of extenuating circumstances (e.g. a death in the family or illness), or any other

extenuating factors that have bearing on the student’s academic performance, by writing a motivation on the prescribed form to the

Head of Department. This appeal must be accompanied by a full academic record and other supporting documentation and must be

submitted to the Secretary of the Department by Friday of the first week that the University opens for a new year.

A Faculty Admissions Committee will evaluate the appeal. It will consider the overall academic record of the student and the reasons

provided for poor performance. Based on this and input from subject lecturers, a decision is made on whether to readmit the student

into the programme or not. Sometimes certain restrictions will be placed on the student as a condition for readmission. Furthermore,

in some cases the Department will request certain actions from the student as a condition for readmission e.g. attendance of

counselling sessions. A written reply to the student’s appeal will be provided by the department within seven working days after the

meeting of the Faculty Admissions Committee at which the appeal was considered.

If the student does not agree or accept the answer from the Faculty Admissions Committee, the student may then appeal to the Dean

of the Faculty.


The Faculty reserves the right to exclude a student who has been readmitted on appeal, but who has not met the conditions of the

Faculty Admissions Committee.
