S.L. 327.633 Art. 48

(1) (a) Students who fail in any Study-Unit at an End of semester assessment session, except a compulsory Study-Unit that is declared to be non-compensatable in a Programme of Study, with a mark of not less than 35% and whose Year Average Mark after the June assessment session is at least 50% shall be awarded a compensated pass (grade CP) and shall be awarded credit for the Unit by compensation and shall not be required to be reassessed.

(b) Similarly, students who fail in any Study-Unit, except a compulsory Study-Unit that is declared to be non-compensatable in a Programme of Study at a September assessment session, with a mark of not less than 35% and whose Year Average Mark after the September assessment session is at least 50% shall be awarded the grade CP and shall UNIVERSITY UNDERGRADUATE

be awarded credit for the Unit by compensation and shall not be required to be reassessed.

(2) Bye-laws may provide that in Courses comprising two main areas of study, Units declared to be compensatable may be passed by compensation if students obtain a mark of not less than 35% in the Unit and their Average Mark in the Programme of Study for the same area for the current year is at least 50%. In such cases, eligibility for a compensated pass shall not be based on the Year Average Mark as provided for in paragraph (1) of this regulation.

(3) A student may only refuse the award of a compensated pass and opt for reassessment in the September assessment session, if eligible, when the mark that can potentially be obtained in the September assessment session could make a difference for the purpose of reaching an average mark required for access to a particular Programme of Study. In such cases, the student is required to advise the Registrar of his intention after all results for the year have been published but in any case by not later than 16 August before the September assessment session.
