S.L. 327.500 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) (i) Students who in any academic year fail in the assessment of not more than 20 ECTS credits shall be given the opportunity to re-sit the failed assessments during the September supplementary examination session, provided that if a student fails in two-thirds or more of the assignments associated with the Design Workshops held in the first year of studies, corresponding to work undertaken over a significant portion of the academic year, the Board may decide that a re-assessment during the following September supplementary session is not a viable option for the student, and may require that the student re-submits the failed assignments during an additional year, before being admitted to the second year of studies; and

(ii) Students in the second year of the course shall only be given the opportunity to re-sit the failed assessments of taught study-units assigned not more than 20 ECTS credits during the September supplementary examination session.

(3) Students who fail 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.
