How do I apply to be exempt from a module/s?
In terms of the Qualification Completion, Credit Accumulation and Transfer, Articulation and Recognition of Prior Policy (IIE010), an application for “exemption due to curriculum change” (ECC) can be made where modules have been phased out with no replacement modules OR where the qualification has been phased out.
For students still within their maximum completion time, an exemption from successful completion of no more than two modules (ECC) may be applied to the curriculum of the student if:
- The IIE does not have an equivalent or alternative module available for a student who has not interrupted their study, or
- If the student did interrupt their study and there is also not an equivalent module available at an external provider that can be recognised for credit. (Note: It is the responsibility of the student to find such an external module and to confirm if the module would qualify for credits)
And:
- The modules have not been designated as core to the exit level outcomes of the qualification by the faculty at the time that the phase-out was planned; and
- The total credit value of the two modules being exempted must be less than 20% of the total credits for the qualification.
An application for ECC must be made via IIE VC Assist.
