8.1 Admission procedure

Candidates that want to apply for Embury’s programmes need to followthe admission procedure outlined in the Admission Policy (E1).

Candidates should:8.1.1 All applicants must complete an Application Form and submit the form together with either their Grade 11, Grade 12 mid-term or Trial Results. Application Forms, course information and fee schedules can be obtained from the Student Recruitment Department or the website at: www.embury.ac.za8.1.2 Successful applicants are provisionally accepted on the basis of qualifications or requirements yet to be completed. Any student receiving provisional acceptance will also receive an Enrolment Contract, which provide further information about the terms and conditions once the applicant has accepted Embury’s offer. The Enrolment Contract is attached as an addendum. Final acceptance only takes place once the NSC Statement of Results becomes available.8.1.3 Applicants who have completed Grade 12 and are already in possession of a matric certificate will be accepted provided that they meet all admission and institutional requirements.

8.2 Recognition of prior learning

The Recognition of Prior Learning Policy (E4) is available for candidates seeking alternative methods of application.

General guidelines:8.2.1 Embury will apply the process of Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) for access to a qualification or module.8.2.2 Embury recognises forms of prior learning and experience as equivalent to the prescribed formal minimum admission requirements or the award of advanced standing in particular programmes through exemption from modules.8.2.3 Applicants who do not hold a National Senior Certificate (NSC) with the appropriate exemption may be considered for access via the RPL route. The RPL application will be evaluated against the entry requirements of the qualification in question.8.2.4 Applicants who have prior learning and experience may be considered for award of advanced standing in particular programmes through exemption from modules at lower levels of the qualification programme. The RPL application will be considered against the module content, learning outcomes and assessment of specific modules and the overall programme outcome.8.2.5 The institution will not grant an individual exemption for more than 50% of the modules/ courses required for any particular qualification. A person must obtain 50% of the credits at Embury for a qualification that is awarded by Embury.8.2.6 The same set of prior knowledge may not be used for obtaining more than one qualification.8.2.7 Credits are not awarded for modules that are exempted in terms of the RPL process and the total number of credits will be less than the minimum number of credits required for the award of the qualification.


8.2.8 A student who, on the basis of RPL, is granted exemption from doing some modules or courses in a qualification programme will complete the qualification with a total number of credits that is less than the normally required number of credits for the qualification in question. RPL creates such an exception, and the student concerned should not be compelled to do more modules or courses to make up for the difference in the total number of credits.8.2.9 On successful completion of the programme and award of the qualification the official certificate will be awarded. The academic transcripts of those who were exempted from some modules will reflect exemptions achieved through the RPL process, but with no credit points attached.8.2.10 Not more than 10% of a cohort of students in a programme will be admitted through the RPL process.8.2.11 The assessment criteria for RPL will include the knowledge and skills gained in practices outside the higher education institution in terms of their value for the particular programme and/or modules.8.2.12 The relevant academic department will be responsible for setting the assessment criteria and assessing the learning achieved by RPL.

RPL Approval Process8.3.1 Students applying for access via RPL will have to undergo an assessment of prior learning as follows: 8.3.1.1 An RPL panel of assessors will be constituted by the Academic Board and chaired by the Head of the Faculty of Education. It will consist of the Head of the Faculty, the Head of Curriculum and Programme Development, the relevant Head of Programme and the relevant Head of Department. 8.3.1.2 The Head of the Faculty of Education will table the application at the Academic Board. Applications for RPL will considered by the Board and a decision made about the student’s admission to a programme and exemption from modules. 8.3.1.3 The Student Support Services Department will communicate the decision of the Academic Board to the applicant. 8.3.1.4 Applicants have a right to appeal the decision of the Academic Board. A letter of appeal and supporting evidence must be provided to the Student Support Services Department. The Student Support Services Department will table the application for appeal for consideration at the Academic Board. The decision of the Academic Board is final.

Formative and Summative Assessment:13.1.1 Formative assessment tasks take place to provide feedback to the students and lecturer during the teaching and learning process regarding the student’s progress. The formative assessment tasks do not contribute towards the final module assessment mark. 13.1.2 Summative assessment tasks take place at the end of a period of learning and measures student achievement. The summative marks contribute towards the final module assessment mark, for example, formal tests, assignments, presentations, portfolios, research projects, class tasks etc. Class tasks are activities that take place during the lecture that are assessed and count toward the DP Mark or final CASS mark, for example presentations.

13.2 Exemption from class tasks/tests/ exams/handing in of assignments

13.3.1 The Duly Performed (DP) mark indicates that students have successfully completed the coursework and minimum attendance requirements of a module (if any, as per study letter), and may write the examination.13.3.2 Embury uses the marks achieved in tests and assignments (and lecture attendance in certain modules, as per the module study letter) to determine if a student has obtained a DP mark.13.3.3 Students have to obtain the minimum DP mark as indicated in the module study letter or assessment guide to gain entrance to the final examination.13.3.4 Students must present their DP Results at the entrance of the venue where the final examinations will be written in order to be allow entry.

13.7.2 The results of the supplementary exams will be calculated as follows:

Academic reasons: 13.7.2.1 If a student qualifies to write the supplementary exam (has a final mark between 40 and 49%), then the student will write the supplementary exam with the same DP as the primary exam.

Medical or compassionate reasons: 13.7.2.3 Should a student have missed the opportunity to write the primary exam for medical or compassionate reasons, then the supplementary exam result will serve as the only primary result, together with the DP mark in order to calculate a final mark (average of DP plus supplementary exam). 13.7.2.4 No further assessment opportunities will be afforded to the student. 13.7.2.5 No appeals for a supplementary examination based on medical and compassionate reasons will be accepted after a student has written the primary exam.
