Do I need to apply for the Supplementary/Resubmission Sitting and pay a fee? 


Students do not need to apply for subsequent assessment opportunities which they qualify for such as a supplementary assessment/ resubmission opportunity. However, students will only be provided with a supplementary assessment/ resubmission opportunity if performance standards are met.

 

The performance standards to be eligible for a supplementary assessment/ resubmission opportunity are as follows:

  • For modules at NQF levels 5,6 and 7: 

Students need to attain an overall module mark of between 40% and 48% AND achieve at least 30% in their             summative assessment. Students who achieve 28% or less with automatically fail the module. 

  • For modules at NQF levels 8, 9 and 10:

Students need to attain an overall module mark of between 40% and 48% AND achieve at least 40% in their summative assessment. Students who achieve 38% or less will automatically fail the module. 

  • Where students meet the above performance standards, the result symbol will reflect as a Supp granting entry into this opportunity

 

Please take note of the conditions for a supplementary assessment/ resubmission opportunity:

  • Although students are not required to apply for this supplementary assessment/ resubmission opportunity, there is a R550.00 fee applicable per module for students who qualify and sit/ resubmit in the Supplementary/Resubmission opportunity.
  • A supplementary opportunity can only be taken in the summative period associated with the module (i.e., if your module runs in Term 1 you must attempt the supplementary opportunity in that period and not in Term 2 or Term 1 of the next year unless an appropriate concession is in place). 
  • The mark for the supplementary opportunity will be capped at 50% and will become the final module mark excluding any formative contributions. 
  • It remains the student’s responsibility to check eligibility for a supplementary opportunity.
