What qualifies graduating with a distinction and will this be annotated on my certificate?
Your qualification is awarded with distinction when you meet the following criteria:
Achieve an average of 75% and above for all modules in all years of study
- This calculation includes each time a module is repeated
- This calculation includes marks for modules that were awarded internal credits
- The calculation excludes:
- Any external credits that have been credited and annotated “EC” on your academic transcript
- Endorsed (E) not endorsed (NE) modules
- Modules exempted due to curriculum change (ECC)
- Modules exempted (EX) from completion due to advanced standing
If you achieve an average of 74% overall for your qualification, the qualification average mark will automatically be condoned to 75% and reflected as a distinction for the qualification.
- The qualification will not be rounded off as rounding has already happened at a modular level and will not be repeated when the qualification average is determined.
Your qualification distinction will be reflected on your graduation certificate.
