University of KwaZulu-Natal UKZN Failed Module
Previously, student work was assessed by means of semester examinations. This is now changing to a mix of end-of semester exams and continuous assessment or ‘class marks’, made up of assessed tasks done during the semester.
• If a student fails an exam with a mark between 40-48% the student is usually given the chance to write a supplementary examination for which there is an extra fee per course.
• Some modules have done away with end of-semester examinations. Tests are done under examination conditions during the semester. Those who pass the assessment do not have to sit the examination.
• Class marks in all modules are important. Make sure you submit your assignments on or before the due date. Marks are deducted for late submission.
