General Regulations

Admission and Registration of Students

Students may register only after admission has been approved and all applicable entry requirements for the programme or module have been satisfied. Applicants and first-time students must provide the identification, school-leaving, academic and other supporting documents required by the University.

• Admission to a programme does not remove the need to satisfy faculty, programme or module-specific requirements.
• Registration or renewal of registration remains subject to the University's academic rules, minimum study requirements and applicable fees.
• By completing registration, students agree to comply with the University's current rules, regulations and approved conditions.
• The University may limit enrolment in particular modules or programmes where capacity restrictions apply.

Student Conduct and Discipline

Students are expected to protect the academic environment, the reputation of the University and the rights and property of other members of the University community.

• Attend scheduled lectures, tutorials, practicals, tests and other prescribed academic activities regularly and punctually.
• Comply with University rules, lawful instructions and the specific rules applicable to facilities, residences and other University spaces.
• Report serious illness or circumstances affecting attendance through the appropriate University process and provide supporting documentation where required.
• Avoid conduct involving violence, harassment, damage to property, dishonest information, prohibited substances, dangerous weapons or other misconduct prohibited by University rules.
• Disciplinary matters are handled under the University's approved disciplinary procedures and may affect a student's registration or access to University facilities.

Assessment and Examinations

University assessments and examinations are conducted under the authority of Senate. Students must meet the academic and administrative requirements applicable to each module before being admitted to assessment.

• Students must follow published assessment and examination instructions, including reporting times, identification requirements and invigilator instructions.

• Examination scripts remain University property and are retained for the period prescribed by the University's rules.
• Applications for re-marking, mark verification or viewing of scripts must follow the formal process, meet the relevant time limits and include any prescribed fee. Re-marking is not automatic.

University Residences

Residence admission is separate from academic admission and is subject to the University's residence allocation processes and residence rules.

• Residents must occupy only the room allocated to them and may not exchange or sublet rooms without authorisation.
• Residents are responsible for University property placed in their care and may be held liable for damage.
• Visitors, overnight stays, noise, safety and access to residences are controlled in terms of residence rules.
