GENERAL INFORMATION 1. STANDING INVITATION TO PAST STUDENTS The Registrar cordially invites all past students of Stellenbosch University (SU) to notify him in writing of any change of address. The Registrar also welcomes news of distinctions, academic or other, won by our past students, and would appreciate being informed of the titles of any of their publications. The Senior Director: Library and Information Services would be equally happy to receive copies of such publications on behalf of the University Library.

2. SUMMARY: LANGUAGE POLICY AND PLAN The official Language Policy and Language Plan of Stellenbosch University were approved by the Council of the University in 2002. The following summary is provided in the interests of brevity, but must be read in conjunction with, and is subject to, the full Language Policy and Plan. The full version is available at http://www.sun.ac.za/taal. Language Policy 1. The University is committed to the use and sustained development of Afrikaans as an academic language in a multilingual context. Language is used at the University in a manner that is directed towards its engagement with knowledge in a diverse society. 2. The University acknowledges the special status of Afrikaans as an academic language and accepts the responsibility to promote it. At the same time, it takes account of the status of English as an international language of communication and of isiXhosa as an emerging academic language. 3. The University distinguishes between the use of the three languages in the following manner: Afrikaans is by default the language of learning and teaching at undergraduate level, while English is used to a greater extent at the postgraduate level; isiXhosa is promoted as an emerging academic language. The University creates opportunities for students and staff to acquire communication skills in isiXhosa. 4. The institutional language of the University is, by default, Afrikaans, while English is also used, depending on the circumstances, as an internal

5

General

language of communication. All three languages are used, where possible, for external communication. Language Plan 1. The Language Plan distinguishes between the implementation of the policy in learning and teaching situations and in the support services and management. 2. Choices between various language options may be made in learning and teaching situations, depending on the language abilities of the lecturer and the composition of the students and programme. These language options are arranged in a hierarchy. Reasons must be provided for deviating from the default option (see point 4 for details). In extraordinary and compelling circumstances the University may deviate from the language specification of a module or programme, on condition that any such deviation must be reviewed at the end of each semester to determine whether its continuation remains justified. The deans manage this process, reporting on it to the Executive Committee (Senate). The Language Committee must be informed of any deviation from the language specification of a module or programme and must be given the opportunity to enquire about such deviation, where necessary. 3. Three general guidelines apply with regard to the language of learning and teaching in class: Modules in which a language is taught are conducted mainly in the language in question (e.g. isiXhosa is taught mainly in isiXhosa, Mandarin in Mandarin) and tasks, tests and examinations are set and answered accordingly. Questions papers in all other modules are set in Afrikaans and English and students may answer in Afrikaans or English. Except in cases where the aim of the module is language acquisition or the study of the language, students may ask questions and expect answers in Afrikaans or English. 4. Departments choose and implement the various language specifications as follows (the above three points apply generally for all options):

A Specification* Rationale Applies as the default mode for all undergraduate modules. No reasons need to be given for exercising this option.

6

General

Characteristics Teaching is mainly in Afrikaans Study material such as textbooks, notes, transparencies, electronic learning and teaching material may be in Afrikaans and/or English Study framework is in Afrikaans and English.

T Specification* (bilingual classes) Rationale Is used for classes where students‟ language competence requires greater use of English a programme offered is unique to the University multilingualism is important in the context of a specific occupation the lecturer does not yet have an adequate command of Afrikaans.

Characteristics Teaching is in Afrikaans for at least 50% of the time. Textbooks and reading matter are in Afrikaans and/or English. Study notes, transparencies and electronic learning and teaching material are fully in Afrikaans and English, or alternately in Afrikaans and English.

E Specification (English as the main medium of instruction) Rationale Is used only in highly exceptional circumstances for programmes unique in South Africa programmes in which students do not have adequate language skills (foreign or English- speaking students) modules in which the lecturer does not have a command of Afrikaans regional co-operation and strategic aims necessitate English.

Characteristics Teaching is primarily in English. Textbooks and reading matter are in Afrikaans and/or English. Notes are in English with core notes in Afrikaans. Transparencies and electronic learning and teaching material are in English.

7

General

A & E Specification (separate ‘streams’ in Afrikaans and English) Rationale Used only in most exceptional circumstances when academically and financially justified and attainable for modules with large numbers of students regional co-operation and attaining strategic goals programmes offered by satellite technology or interactive telematic education.

Characteristics The characteristics of the A and E options apply respectively here. *

For both of these options an academic language competence in Afrikaans and English is essential for successful study.

5. Afrikaans is the default language of communication for the support services and management. All official documents of the University are available in Afrikaans. „Default‟ does not, however, mean „exclusively‟: important policy documents are available in English and communication with staff is also conducted in English. Guidelines are provided for the language to be used at meetings. Documents relating to the service conditions for staff are available in Afrikaans, English and isiXhosa. 6. Written communication with students is conducted in Afrikaans and English, and recruitment is conducted, where possible, also in isiXhosa. Oral communication is conducted in Afrikaans or English, according to the language of preference of the student. 7. The corporate image of the University reflects the Language Policy and Plan. 8. A Language Committee is appointed by the Council to implement the Language Policy and Plan. 9. The Language Centre assumes the responsibility for the provision of and/or coordination of the relevant language support required for the effective implementation of the Language Policy and Plan.

Please Note A further explanation of the language specifications, as well as the language specifications for specific modules, is given in the section Subjects, Modules and Module Content in the faculty Calendar parts. .

3. CODE OF CONDUCT FOR LANGUAGE IN THE CLASSROOM This Code of Conduct has been drawn up in order to provide practical guidelines for understanding and implementing the Language Policy and Language Plan of SU, which were accepted by the University Council in 2002. The Council regards it as important that the Language Policy and Plan of SU should be implemented with integrity. The Code is offered as an aid for dealing constructively with possible difficulties or uncertainties. The core principle governing the day-to-day use of language on the campus is that all staff, students and clients of the University are responsible for language matters and may have the expectation that disputes will be approached and dealt with in a spirit of co-operation in which workable solutions are sought. A distinction is drawn in the Code of Conduct between the responsibilities and expectations of staff and of students. Complaints on language matters of an academic nature will be dealt with in accordance with standard procedures. The Language Policy and Plan sets the minimum language requirements for students studying at Stellenbosch University (Language Plan 2002:5): As a general rule, students taking an A module or a T module require an academic language proficiency in both Afrikaans and English for effective study at the undergraduate level. A higher level of academic language proficiency is required for postgraduate study. Lecturers, especially with regard to their obligations to set and assess assignments, tests and question papers in English and Afrikaans, will be expected within a reasonable time from their appointment to develop sufficient receptive skills (listening and reading) in Afrikaans and English to be able to follow discussions in class, to set assignments and examination question papers in both languages and to be able to understand students‟ answers in both languages. They should also be capable of judging the equivalence of translations and of fairly assessing answers in Afrikaans and English.

Lecturers’ responsibilities Lecturers bear the responsibility of: 1. implementing the language specifications of the module being taught in accordance with the requirements of the Language Plan (see especially paragraph 3 of the Language Plan). 2. revising and adjusting the language specifications where necessary and according to the circumstances (new text books, other lecturers).

9

General

3. informing students briefly at the beginning of the teaching of the module, orally and in the module framework, of the choices and alternative for which the language specifications make provision. 4. ensuring that questions in assignments, tests and examinations have exactly the same content in English and Afrikaans. 5. developing sufficient language proficiency to be able to mark assignments, tests and examinations in Afrikaans and English, or making other satisfactory arrangements that it takes place. 6. ensuring that, in accordance with the guidelines for the T option (see 3.3.1.2 of the Language Plan), students‟ language proficiency is sufficiently developed, and the necessary measures are in place to ensure subject-specific language proficiency in Afrikaans and English. 7. striving at all times to act courteously and accommodatingly in situations involving language use (e.g. when questions are asked in English in a class where the language specification for the module is A).

Lecturers’ expectations Lecturers can expect students to: 1. take note of the characteristics of the language specification applicable to the specification laid down for the module. (See paragraph 3, Language Plan). 2. inform the lecturer of their needs with regard to academic language skills. 3. respect the spirit of the Language Policy and Plan, especially with regard to the development of skills in a language which is not their language of choice, by deliberately paying attention to it, taking part actively in class and working on their knowledge of subject terminology and subject discourse in both languages. This expectation applies especially to the T specification for modules.

Students’ responsibilities Students bear the responsibility of: 1. ascertaining the language options for each module and noting especially the consequences; e.g. that translations will not be available in some instances. 2. being honest and open-hearted about their language skills and taking the responsibility for early and appropriate action if they should experience difficulties. 3. deliberately developing the receptive skills (listening and reading) in the language not of choice for learning and teaching by active participation in class.

10

General

4. buying and using the prescribed material (especially text books) to improve their language skills in the subject. 5. being courteous and accommodating, and acting accordingly, in situations where language use is at issue, e.g. with regard to the difficulties of the minority group in the class. 6. accepting that one or a few students, because of inadequacies in his/their language proficiency, may not exercise or try to exercise a right of veto with regard to the use of Afrikaans or English in the class situation.

Students’ expectations Students can expect that: 1. help with language skills development will be provided should their academic language proficiency in Afrikaans and/or English be inadequate. 2. they can ask questions and conduct discussions in Afrikaans or English (unless the other languages are required, as in language modules), taking into account their own and the lecturer‟s language proficiency. 3. Afrikaans and English versions of assignments and question papers will be available and will have the same content. 4. there will be sensitivity for language difficulties, so that language errors made under examination conditions will be assessed with discretion.

4. CODE OF CONDUCT FOR LANGUAGE USAGE IN THE SUPPORT FUNCTIONS OF SU The Language Policy of Stellenbosch University (SU) provides for the following: “The default institutional language of the University is Afrikaans. English is used alongside Afrikaans as a language of communication for the University, as circumstances may require…. [This means] that Afrikaans is used in all circumstances as the language of internal communication, but that the particular needs of non-Afrikaans-speaking staff and students are catered for with the appropriate sensitivity.” (Language Policy 2002: 4) The code of conduct for language usage in SU‟s support services spells out broadly the obligations and the expectations of role-players in the communication process, within the parameters of the Language Policy and Plan. The code of conduct refers exclusively to the language of internal communication within SU, as the language of external communication (i.e. with the public and SU‟s other external clients) is the language of preference of the client, where possible (Language Plan par. 5.3(a)).

Language of meetings The default language of meetings of statutory decision-making bodies is Afrikaans. In cases where people who cannot understand Afrikaans are involved, either English becomes the language of the meeting, or an interpreter‟s service must be made available, and agendas and discussion documents with an executive summary in English, or documentation written completely in English and Afrikaans, must be provided. (* „Agendas‟ here refers to the collection of documents for the meeting as well as to the topics listed for discussion at the meeting.)

5. NON-RACISM Stellenbosch University admits students of any race, colour, nationality or ethnic origin to all rights, privileges, programmes and activities generally accorded or made available to students of the University. The University does not discriminate on the basis of race, colour, nationality or ethnic origin in the implementation of its educational policies, its scholarship and loan programmes, or its sports programmes.

6. OMBUDSMAN Stellenbosch University makes use of an ombudsman who acts completely independently and is also not on the staff establishment of the University. In this way, the University has created a channel through which appropriate attention can be paid to all problems and complaints raised by its students, the parents of its students or its staff and that cannot be dealt with satisfactorily along the normal channels by the existing University structures, or for which these structures are inadequate, for whatever reason, as appears from sufficient motivation presented by the complainant or complainants. The discretion regarding whether or not to deal with such a complaint or problem, as well as the discretion regarding the manner of dealing with it, lies exclusively with the ombudsman, provided -

14

General

1. that the ombudsman shall not disclose the identity of any complainants without their permission, unless the further process of dealing with the complaint or problem by the University structures requires disclosure; 2. that, first of all, the ombudsman will refer a complainant to the existing University structures if, in the opinion of the ombudsman, the particular channel through which complaints are processed was not utilised adequately; 3. that, in all respects, the ombudsman may independently obtain further information in relation to the complaint and/or problem, and that, with the permission of the Rector, he may use the University‟s infrastructure to acquire such information; 4. that student complaints regarding purely academic matters shall not normally be dealt with by the ombudsman; 5. that the ombudsman shall give no final ruling, but report the findings at his exclusive discretion as a recommendation to the Rector; and 6. that under no circumstances may the ombudsman deal with a complaint or problem that already is the subject of a lawsuit.

Please note 1. In this publication any expression signifying one of the genders includes the other gender equally, unless inconsistent with the context. 2. Before making a final choice of modules (subjects), every student should closely consult the relevant timetables. Should it then become apparent that two modules fall in the same time slot on a particular timetable, the University will not allow registration as a student in both of them for the same year/semester since they will be an inadmissible combination. 3. The University reserves the right to amend the Calendar at any time. The Council and the Senate of the University accept no liability for any inaccuracies there may be in the Calendar. Every reasonable care has, however, been taken to ensure that the relevant information to hand at the time of going to press is given fully and accurately in the Calendar. 4. In the event of uncertainty or a dispute regarding information in this Part of the Calendar, the final interpretation will be based on the Afrikaans version. 5. Parts 1, 2 and 3 of the Calendar contain general information applicable to all students. Students are urged to note with special care the content of the Provisions relating to Examinations and Promotions in the „University Examinations‟ chapter of Part 1 of the Calendar.

SOME HISTORICAL NOTES: A UNIVERSITY IN THE MAKING Stellenbosch, the country‟s oldest town, has from very early on had a significant involvement in the history of education in South Africa. As early as 1685, when the Dutch Reformed Church founded its second parish here, a beginning was made with regular school instruction. By the 1840s the Cape Colony was operating a system of centrally controlled Public Schools, along the lines advocated by Sir John Herschel. (The famous astronomer‟s advice and active support had been obtained while he was out here on a research visit.) Under this system, Stellenbosch was recognised as a divisional centre for education. Another of the town‟s notable older educational institutions was started in November 1859, namely the Theological Seminary of the Dutch Reformed Church. Meeting in the nearby Old Reading Room in December 1863, thirty public-spirited inhabitants of the Stellenbosch district committed themselves to collecting a certain sum for the establishment of a gymnasium within five years. They achieved their objective well ahead of time. In 1866 under the new Education Act the local Public School was reorganised as a First Class Public School, also to be known as the Stellenbosch Gymnasium. In 1873 the then Board of Examiners was replaced by the Examining University of the Cape of Good Hope. This new university set steadily increasing standards, thereby creating a demand for more advanced teaching. To help meet the new demand, the Stellenbosch Gymnasium in 1874, under the Higher Education Act, set up its own professorial division. This, called the Arts Department, may be regarded as the germ of the present Faculties of Arts and Science. Initially it consisted of the Rector (the Rev Charles Anderson) and two professors, namely Prof A MacDonald for the Classics and English Literature and Prof G Gordon for Mathematics and Physical Science. The pupils at the Gymnasium in 1874 totalled 120, with the Third Class Examination (the later matriculation examination) being passed by 9 candidates and the Second Class Examination (the later BA examination), by 4. In 1879 the town of Stellenbosch celebrated its two-hundredth anniversary; in commemo-ration it was resolved to erect a large and suitable College building to house the Arts Department. Sir Bartle Frere, visiting Stellenbosch at this time, took a warm interest in the project, which he promised to recommend to the government. The Prime Minister, Sir Gordon Sprigg, supported the proposal, and Parliament voted £3 000 towards the cost of the new building, conditional on a like amount‟s being raised by public

66

General

subscription. The foundation stone of the new building was laid by the Administrator, Sir George Cumin Strachan, on 22 December 1880. In 1881 the Arts Department received its charter as a College, and by a special Act of Parliament the status and the constitution of the Stellenbosch College were conferred upon it. It was provided at the same time that the Gymnasium should remain under the control of the College Council. The new building was completed and taken occupation of in phases. The formal opening took place on 6 November 1886. In 1887, the jubilee year of Queen Victoria‟s reign, Her Majesty graciously consented to the College‟s name being changed to the Victoria College of Stellenbosch. The institution of an agricultural course in connection with the College had been discussed in 1882, and in the new building special provision was made for the study of agricultural chemistry. In 1887 the Agriculture Department began with five students. In 1898, although the number of agriculture students had increased to 31, the Agriculture Department was taken away from the Victoria College and removed to Elsenburg. Twenty years later there was another reversal of policy, a full Faculty of Agriculture being established in the new University of Stellenbosch. The period from 1897 to 1900 was also important on account of the construction of the Physics Laboratory and the Christian Marais Library, both made possible by the generosity of the brothers JH and CL Marais. In 1899 the “senior matriculation class”, 44 strong, was transferred from the College to the school, leaving the Victoria College with 116 fully matriculated “Arts” students. About five years later a strong movement began among friends and past students of the College for a further extension of its activity. This resulted in the separation of the chairs of Philosophy and English Literature, and also of Greek and Latin, the establishment of chairs in Zoology, Botany and History and, shortly afterwards, in Applied Mathematics as well. The question of the training of teachers had been under discussion since 1876. From 1895 onwards the College made special provision for students who followed the ordinary degree course but who intended to qualify afterwards for a teacher‟s diploma. The fight for a recognised department of Education was carried on for fifteen years, and in 1911 a Professor of Education was at last appointed. A new building, designed specifically to meet the requirements of teacher training, was soon erected. Two years later this was followed by an even larger new building for four of the natural sciences, to the financing of which the Union government contributed handsomely.

67

General

When the Union of South Africa was founded, the problem of the reform of higher education came up for discussion once again. Various commissions appointed in this connection proposed different solutions. All the proposals were closely concerned with the substantial endowment offered by Sir Julius Wernher and Mr Otto Beit for the establishment of a teaching university at Groote Schuur. An act was drafted in terms of which the Victoria College was to be subordinated to the Groote Schuur project. Thanks, however, to the aid of friends and alumni of Stellenbosch this bill never became law. Eventually the government found a solution in greater decentralisation; in place of only one university, it granted charters to three, with their respective centres at Cape Town, Stellenbosch and Pretoria. The creation of a university at Stellenbosch was made possible by Mr Jan Marais of Coetzenburg; to the cause of higher education at Stellenbosch, he had magnanimously bequeathed the sum of £100 000. The University Act, by which the Victoria College became an independent university, with all its privileges and duties, was passed by the Union Parliament in 1916. The number of registered students at the College in the last year before its promotion to university status was 503. In the same year the teaching staff numbered 40, 22 of whom were professors and 18 lecturers. The University Act, replacing the Victoria College by the University of Stellenbosch, came into effect on 2 April 1918. The decades since then have seen its student numbers grow fortyfold and more, from about 500 to some 22 000. The University, for its part, has been setting up new and adapting existing faculties, departments and other academic organs in response to the ongoing shifts and changes in the country‟s needs for student training. Thousands have studied at Stellenbosch and gone on from here to make a valuable contribution in practical life. Stellenbosch alumni fulfil an important part in numerous areas of society. Without them, South Africa today would be much the poorer.

ADMISSION AND REGISTRATION 1. ADMISSIONS POLICY The Higher Education Act, Act 101 of 1997, read with the provisions of the Promotion of Equality and Prevention of Unfair Discrimination Act, Act 4 of 2000, is fundamental to the admissions policy of Stellenbosch University (SU). Based on the provisions of these Acts, the admissions policy is embedded in the SU‟s Strategic Framework for the Turn of the Century and Thereafter, which commits SU to the establishment of an excellent student corps that is more representative of the demographics of South African society. In order to meet Council‟s targets for the size (total number of students) and shape (fields of study and diversity profile) of SU‟s student population, it is necessary to manage undergraduate enrolments at the University. The total number of enrolments at SU is managed to fit the available capacity. SU offers a balanced package of programmes that spans all three main areas of study, namely (a) humanities, (b) economic and management sciences, and (c) the natural sciences, agricultural sciences, health sciences and engineering (SET: Science, Engineering and Technology). SU is committed to promoting diversity. At SU enrolment management at the undergraduate level happens within the framework of the national higher education system. We pursue responsible coherence between national and institutional objectives with regard for important principles, such as institutional autonomy, academic freedom and public responsibility. The following are points of departure: 1.1 Extending academic excellence by upholding standards of high academic achievement. 1.2 Maintaining and improving high success rates. 1.3 Honouring SU‟s commitment to redress, to social responsibility and to contributing to the preparation of future role models from all population groups. 1.4 Broadening access to higher education, especially for students from educationally disadvantaged and economically needy circumstances and who have the academic potential for successful study at SU. Because of the limited availability of places and our strategic and purposeful enrolment management, not all undergraduate applicants who meet the

99

General

minimum admission requirements for a particular programme will necessarily be accepted. Details about selection procedures and admission requirements are available at www.maties.com. For admission in 2013 and thereafter, all prospective undergraduate students must take the National Benchmark Test (NBT). Please consult the NBT website (www.nbt.ac.za) or SU‟s website (www.maties.com) for more information on the National Benchmark Test. The results of the National Benchmark Test may be used by SU for the following purposes (details available at www.maties.com): supporting decisions about placing students in extended degree programmes, selection and curriculum development. The statutory admission requirements for undergraduate programmes are given below under paragraph 2 of this chapter and those for postgraduate programmes are given in the chapter on „Higher Degrees‟. A summary of the Language Policy and Language Plan of the University is given at the front of this Part of the Calendar. The language policy of individual faculties, as well as the language specifications of individual modules and programmes, is given in the faculties‟ parts of the Calendar.

2. UNDERGRADUATE ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS: STATUTORY Once prospective undergraduate students have passed the school-leaving examinations, they should double-check the notice about admission requirements sent to them with their letters of admissibility to make sure that they do in fact comply with the admission requirements of the programme they propose to take BEFORE finally deciding to present themselves for registration as a student at the University. The following statutory admission requirements are applicable to undergraduate degree, diploma and higher certificate programmes: 2.1 For the National Senior Certificate (NSC) as of 2009

2.1.1 Degree Programmes 2.1.1.1 A National Senior Certificate (NSC) or IEB (Independent Examinations Board) school-leaving certificate as certified by Umalusi, with admission to Bachelor‟s degree studies, which requires that a mark of at least 4 (50-59%) be obtained in each of four school subjects from the list of designated university admission subjects (of which at least one must be

100

General

Afrikaans or English)* (The first final examination for the NSC was written at the end of 2008.) Where the average percentage obtained for the NSC or IEB is applicable the subjects Life Orientation and Additional Mathematics are not taken into consideration for calculating the average, and neither is the mark obtained for Mathematics Paper 3. 2.1.1.2 Compliance with the faculty-specific, programme-specific and subject-specific admission and selection requirements of the relevant programme for which students want to register, as set out in the Part of the University Calendar for the faculty concerned and/or in the notice about admission requirements sent with the letter of admissibility and/or on www.maties.com, as well as the selection procedures at www.maties.com. Sitting for the National Benchmark Test (NBT) is compulsory and performance on this test may be used at selection (see par. 4.1.13 of this chapter for more information on the NBT). (Provision is also made for discretionary admission by the dean with a view to promoting diversity.) (Also see “Important notes” under par. 2.1.3.2.) or 2.1.1.3 A certificate of full or provisional exemption from the Matriculation examination, issued by the Matriculation Board to students from foreign countries or with foreign school qualifications, as well as with the stipulations of par 2.1.1.2; or 2.1.1.4 A certificate of provisional exemption from the Matriculation examination on the grounds of mature age (23 years and older), excluding for admission to BA (Law), BComm (Law), LLB and BAccLLB (this route of admission to university study will in future only be available to candidates with the former Senior Certificate since the minimum requirements to be complied with for the new NSC have not yet been set). Compliance with the stipulations of par. 2.1.1.2 also applies.

2.1.2 Diploma Programmes 2.1.2.1 A National Senior Certificate (NSC), as certified by Umalusi, with admission to diploma studies, which requires that a mark of at least 3 (4049%) be obtained in each of four school subjects from the list of designated

*

Accounting, Agricultural Sciences, Business Studies, Consumer Studies, Dramatic Arts, Economics, Engineering Graphics and Design, Geography, History, Information Technology, Languages (one language of learning and teaching at a higher education institution and two other recognised language subjects), Life Sciences, Mathematics, Music, Physical Sciences, Religion Studies, Visual Arts.

101

General

university admission subjects (of which at least one must be Afrikaans or English). 2.1.2.2 Compliance with the faculty-specific, programme-specific and subject-specific admission and selection requirements of the relevant programme for which students want to register, as set out in the Part of the University Calendar for the faculty concerned and/or the notice about admission requirements sent with the letter of admissibility (Among other things, provision is also made for discretionary admission by the dean with a view to promoting diversity.) (Also see “Important notes” under par. 2.1.3.2.)

2.1.3 Higher Certificate Programmes 2.1.3.1 A National Senior Certificate (NSC), as certified by Umalusi, with admission to certificate studies, which requires that a mark of at least 3 (4049%) be obtained in either Afrikaans or English. 2.1.3.2 Compliance with the faculty-specific, programme-specific and subject-specific admission and selection requirements of the relevant programme for which students want to register, as set out in the part of the University Calendar for the faculty concerned and/or the letter of admissibility and/or the notice about admission requirements sent with the letter of admissibility (Among other things, provision is also made for discretionary admission by the dean with a view to promoting diversity.)

Important notes: 1. Prospective students who do not have full university admission at the time of registration will not be admitted to register for a degree programme. Two groups, however, are exempted from this restriction: candidates who were prevented by illness from attempting the examinations for Matriculation exemption before February/March; and holders of certificates of provisional exemption from the Matriculation examination on the grounds of foreign school qualifications or mature age (23 years and older). 2. For full particulars concerning the selection requirements of a specific programme, consult www.maties.com. The particulars of the admission requirements for individual programmes are to be found in the appropriate faculty‟s Part of the University Calendar or on www.maties.com. A document specifying the minimum admission requirements for all undergraduate programmes is normally sent to prospective students together with their letter of admissibility. 3. A prospective student who did not come to study at the University immediately after obtaining the NSC may apply to be considered in a

102

General

later year for admission on the basis of the admission requirements that were in force at the time when the NSC was obtained. 2.2 For the Senior Certificate up until 2008 The Senior Certificate (that was obtained by full-time candidates until the end of 2007 and will be obtained until March 2014 by part-time candidates who were already busy with Grade 12 subjects in 2007) with full matriculation endorsement or an exemption certificate from the Matriculation Board and an average percentage of at least 50% for the Senior Certificate, unless the degree programme concerned required a higher average percentage at the time, as well as compliance with the programme-specific and subject-specific admission requirements for the programme concerned, which applied for registration in the year following the year in which the Senior Certificate was obtained. Also, the selection criteria currently in force.

3. ACADEMIC SUPPORT PROGRAMMES Stellenbosch University has developed excellent academic programmes that will lead to academic success as a student.

support

3.1 Extended Degree Programmes (EDPs) Prospective students whose schooling has not prepared them adequately for studying at a university and who have the potential for successful studies may gain admission to the University by way of extended degree programmes (EDPs) and/or make use of other forms of academic support. The EDPs offer alternative academic routes for students to study successfully and are offered in the following faculties: Arts and Social Sciences, Science, AgriSciences, Theology, Economic and Management Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and Health Sciences.

3.1.1 Admission requirements Admission requirements for the EDPs differ from faculty to faculty. In most cases, prospective students whose marks do not meet all aspects of the minimum subject-specific criteria in certain programmes will be considered for admission to an EDP. Matriculants who fall within this category often do not pass their first academic year at the University without additional academic support. However, students in this category who join extended degree (EDPs) and/or other academic support programmes usually fare considerably better in their first year. In some cases, students, who do meet the programme-specific admission requirements but who are not admitted to the mainstream programmes after selection, are considered for admission to an EDP.

103

General

Selection for EDPs do not only take academic achievement into consideration, but also certain socio-economic factors that indicate educational disadvantagement. Prospective students are required to have full university admission, except in those cases where faculties provide special discretionary permission. Such permission is based on merit and usually requires the student to follow the EDP programme, if such programme is available in the faculty.

3.1.2 Structure of Extended Degree Programmes 3.1.2.1 The structure of the Extended Degree Programmes (EDPs) varies from faculty to faculty. In some programmes an alternative first-year curriculum that consists of foundation modules is prescribed, while the first academic year is generally spread over two years for other programmes, with a reduced mainstream workload and foundation modules that are added. The degree programme is thus lengthened by one year. 3.1.2.2 Additional or alternative credit-bearing foundation modules - in addition to the mainstream modules - are included in the Extended Degree Programmes. These foundation modules, which provide support and preparatory content, will broaden the study base of the student. Further information on the programme content is available in the relevant faculty calendar.

3.1.3 Readmission For Sliding Scale B in terms of HEMIS credits, which applies to the readmission of students in the Extended Degree Programme, see the section under the heading „Readmission after unsuccessful studies‟ in par. 9 further on in this chapter.

3.1.4 Suspension The attendance of Extended Degree Programme classes is compulsory, and absence from such classes without a valid excuse may lead to the student‟s eventual suspension from the Extended Degree Programme. In such an event the student, as a candidate for readmission, will have to satisfy the sliding scale that applies to mainstream students (see „Sliding Scale A‟ in the section under the heading „Readmission after unsuccessful studies‟ in par. 9 further on in this chapter).

3.1.5 Registration process for EDPs Students who possibly qualify for an EDP will be notified by the respective faculties and will register through the normal registration procedures. During the official Welcoming Programme prior to registration, EDP students will attend an information and advice session in the relevant faculty. For more

APPLICATION, ADMISSION AND REGISTRATION AS A STUDENT 4.1 Application and admission as student 4.1.1 All prospective students, including those who intend to stay in private lodgings, shall apply for admission to the University on the prescribed application form, hard copies of which are obtainable from the Registrar on request or which can be completed on the web page at www.sun.ac.za. The completed application form shall be accompanied by an application fee of R100 or, if the web-based application form is used, the payment instructions should be followed. 4.1.2 Prospective undergraduate students shall apply not later than the general closing date for applications, namely 30 June of the preceding year, with the exception of students applying for the programmes in the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, namely MB,ChB, BScPhysio, BOccTher, BScDiet, and BSpeech-Language and Hearing Therapy, for which applications shall be submitted not later than 31 May. The selection policies for the above-mentioned programmes are available on request. 4.1.3 Late applications for admission to undergraduate programmes in a given year close on 30 September of the preceding year, with the proviso that the University reserves the right to close late applications for any programme at any time before 30 September. Ordinarily no late applications are considered for the BEd (Gen Ed) programme and the Law programmes. Applications for admission to Honours, Master‟s and Doctoral programmes generally close later, except where individual faculties demand earlier closing dates for specific postgraduate programmes (see par. 4.1.5). 4.1.4 Only in exceptional cases shall consideration be given to any application for admission to undergraduate studies received after 30 September or after an early closing date for a particular programme or programmes, as stipulated in terms of par. 4.1.3. Each such application shall be dealt with on its individual merits and special permission for such late application shall be obtained from the Registrar or his proxy. Each such application shall be accompanied by all the documents required for the consideration thereof, and each such application shall be accompanied by the prescribed fee of R200 for late applications, consisting of the application fee of R100 and the late-application surcharge of R100. 4.1.5 The closing date for applications for admission to postgraduate programmes, with the exception of Master‟s programmes consisting of a

105

General

100% thesis and Doctoral programmes, is 30 November of the previous academic year, unless an earlier date is specified in the relevant faculty‟s Part of the University Calendar. Application for admission to Master‟s programmes consisting of a 100% thesis and for Doctoral programmes may be submitted until 28 February if the faculty/department concerned is willing to consider it, on condition that such applications are complete; that is to say, a complete academic transcript, a full research proposal/summary, a list of bibliographical references, etc., which may be required by the department or faculty, shall be included with the completed application form. To ensure that his application is indeed complete, every prospective postgraduate candidate is urged to consult the relevant faculty‟s own Part of the University Calendar for possible additional requirements relating to his proposed programme. The completed application form shall be accompanied by the application fee of R100. 4.1.6 Where students have interrupted their studies for a year or more, they are required to apply for admission to the University again; in the case of undergraduate students, such application shall be received on or before 30 September of the year preceding that in which they propose to resume their studies, and in the case of postgraduate students such application shall be received in accordance with the requirements of par. 4.1.5. 4.1.7 Full particulars regarding accommodation in University residences are provided in the chapter „Accommodation‟. 4.1.8 Any student who makes a change of accommodation and/or postal address in the course of the academic year shall be personally responsible for making the relevant changes of address on the student website (www.mymaties.com) under his personal details. 4.1.9 The University may at any time require a student to submit a certificate from a medical doctor appointed by the University for such purpose, certifying that the student is not suffering from any infectious or contagious disease. The cost of such certificate shall be borne by the student. 4.1.10 The University reserves the right to require a student suffering from any infectious or contagious disease to leave the University temporarily or permanently. 4.1.11 Every applicant for admission to the University shall sign the following: “If you have reason to suspect that you have any contagious or infectious disease, you shall immediately seek medical aid, withdraw from all University activities, leave the University accommodation, and take all necessary steps to ensure that you do not infect other students. If you do not take these steps, you

106

General

will be held liable for any claims brought against the University (in legal terms you shall indemnify the University against any such claims). If legal steps are taken against the University, you shall also pay the legal costs.” 4.1.12 International students shall on arrival at the University produce satisfactory proof that they do not suffer from any contagious or infectious disease. 4.1.13 National Benchmark Test (NBT) For admission in 2013 and thereafter all prospective undergraduate students must write the National Benchmark Test (NBT). The results of the National Benchmark Test may be used by the SU for supporting the decision-making process when placing students in extended degree programmes, for selection purposes and for curriculum development. Advance booking is essential and can be done on the NBT website (www.nbt.ac.za). Information about the dates for testing and all other relevant details are also available here. The amount payable for the NBT must be paid by candidates themselves. Please consult the NBT website (www.nbt.ac.za) and SU‟s website for prospective students (www.maties.com) for more information about the National Benchmark Test. 4.1.14 Language Placement Test In addition to the NBT refered to in par. 4.1.13 above, all prospective undergraduate students shall write a Language Placement Test on the Stellenbosch Campus, or on the Tygerberg Campus for prospective students in the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, during the Welcoming Programme in January. This Language Placement Test measures abilities in the use of Afrikaans and English. Some faculties make use of the results of this test when considering prescribing language-support modules and/or when placing students in specific class groups. 4.2 Registration as a student

4.2.1 Undergraduate and postgraduate Every person intending to register as a student, whether undergraduate or postgraduate, shall before the official closing date for registration complete the prescribed registration form and submit the completed form to the University Offices and, at the same time, pay the prescribed amounts, including the registration fee, and shall have been selected for and admitted to a specific degree, diploma or certificate programme at the University

107

General

Full information on selection procedures for specific programmes are provided at www.maties.com. Full particulars regarding the programme- and subject-specific admission requirements with which prospective students have to comply once they have been selected for and admitted to a particular degree, diploma or certificate programme and before being permitted to register for such programme are provided in the relevant faculty‟s Part of the Calendar and, for the most part, included with the letter of admissibility. These particulars are also available at www.maties.com. The admissions policy and basic statutory admission requirements are provided in par. 1 and 2 of this chapter. At registration, every newcomer student is issued with an electronic photo identity card (student card). This gives access to certain University buildings and can be used to operate certain photocopiers and to participate in the meals quota system. It must also be shown to obtain access to test and examination venues. Senior students should retain the photo identity card issued to them in their first year and have it handy each time they renew their registration as a student. It is essential for every student to keep possession of his photo identity card. Without this card a person will not be recognised as a student of the University and, consequently, could be refused permission to attend classes at the University and/or write examinations. Lost student cards can be replaced on payment of a required amount at the Student Fees Division in Block A of the Administration buildings. A student who has failed to register according to the official programme of registration within the period of time laid down shall not be recognised as a student, unless he obtains, or has already obtained, formal permission for late registration and pays the late registration fee of R500. Also see par. 4.2.5 below in this regard.

4.2.2 Documents in proof of admissibility At registration, every prospective student coming to the University for the first time shall produce documentary proof as requested that he complies with the relevant admission requirements, and each such person shall on or before 30 May submit to the University the respective originals of his National Senior Certificate or other school-leaving certificates as documentary proof of admissibility.

4.2.3 Registration procedure and programme and module changes 4.2.3.1 All prospective students, including Honours candidates, shall formally register as students in accordance with the University‟s official programme of registration. Prospective undergraduate students are advised to

108

General

make use of the web-based self-registration facility as far as possible and if it is available for the programme concerned. All candidates who have written the NSC or IEB school-leaving examination, may make use of the selfregistration facility. Alternative arrangements may be made for Master‟s and Doctoral candidates and the relevant faculty secretary in Block A of the Central Administration Building should be consulted in this regard. To be registered as a student is not a matter of just giving one‟s personal, biographical and academic particulars for official recording by the University. It also requires one‟s payment then and there, to the cashier, of the prescribed fee. Copies of the complete programme of registration, as well as information on the web-based self-registration facility, are posted to first-year students and senior students. No person, excluding new Master‟s and Doctoral students, is permitted to register as a student later than three weeks after the start of classes (see the Almanac at the front of this Part of the University Calendar). The late registration levy of R500 has to be paid (see par. 4.2.5 in this regard), except in the case that an application for readmission prevented registration in terms of the official registration programme. The onus shall rest on every student to ensure that he registers for the correct modules every year, in accordance with the curriculum requirements of a particular programme, as set out in the Part of the Calendar for the faculty concerned. It is of utmost importance for a student to ensure that in his final year of study he registers for all the final modules needed for completing the programme and obtaining that qualification, including any possible modules still outstanding. On receipt of his proof of registration, containing his programme and modules for the year, during the registration process, a student shall verify immediately whether this document correctly reflects the instructional programme and year of study (E = first year, N = non-final year and F = final year) for which he intended to register; whether this document correctly reflects all the modules that he is to take in the current year; that each module is stated on this document correctly (for instance, that a module number is not stated as 122 if it ought to be 112); and that there are no clashes on the class and test timetables between any of the modules registered for. The examinations policy is of such a nature that students who experience clashes on the examinations timetable during the first round of examinations may make use of the second round of examinations for one of the clashing modules as their first and only round of examinations in the module concerned, provided that this option is subject to satisfactory arrangements being made by the student and a department if there should also be clashes on the class and/or test timetables (also see par. 4.2.7 further on in this regard).

109

General

If there should be any error on the proof of registration and/or modules with insurmountable clashes on the class and/or test timetables, these shall be reported to the faculty secretary concerned in Block A of the Central Administration, and be rectified, within the first two weeks of class of each semester, or preferably be rectified by the student himself by means of the facility that is available for this purpose on the web page in the Student Portal. If a student wishes to register a change of programme, he shall do so within the first two weeks of class of each semester, provided that there is still space available in the programme concerned and that he is selected and admitted (however, no student in the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences shall be allowed to change to another programme in this Faculty at the beginning of the second semester). As regards the failure by any student to do so on time, see par. 4.2.5. below. In the first semester and the second semester, the last date on which the registration of any change of module/programme is permitted is two weeks after the start of classes for the semester concerned (see the Almanac at the front of this Part of the University Calendar for the specific dates). 4.2.3.2 All undergraduate degree students, special students, certificate students and diploma students who comply with the admission requirements of the University, who are selected and admitted (provided there is still room in the programme concerned) and who are able to start with second-semester programmes that carry no requirements in terms of prerequisite modules, prerequisite pass modules or corequisite modules may be administratively permitted to register at the start of the second semester and must register as students within the first two weeks of class of the second semester. If permitted to do so by the relevant faculty/department, postgraduate students may also register in the second semester (see also par. 6 further on in this chapter).

4.2.4 Special students in Engineering (block courses) Special students wishing to attend block courses in the Faculty of Engineering shall, if such course is presented in the first semester, apply for admission thereto on or before 28 February of the year concerned and, if admitted, shall register as a student of Stellenbosch University on or before 30 April, provided that they have been permitted to register as special students; and shall, if such course is presented in the second semester, apply for admission thereto on or before 15 July of the year concerned and, if admitted, shall register as a student of the University on or before 30 July, provided that they have been permitted to register as special students.

110

General

4.2.5 Surcharge for failure to register on time 4.2.5.1 For the relevant degree/diploma/certificate programme Where any student has failed to register on time for a particular programme in terms of the official programme of registration, he shall be liable for the payment of a penalty of R500 even if he has obtained permission beforehand for late registration. Any student, however, who has already paid an amount of R200 consisting of the application fee of R100 and the late-application surcharge of R100, shall be exempted from the above-said penalty for late registration for a programme, on condition that the said late registration for a programme takes place within the first two weeks of class of the semester. No late registrations (with the exception of the registrations of special students in Engineering (block courses)) will be accepted after the second week of classes (see par. 4.2.4 above in this regard).

4.2.5.2 For a module Where the required permission has been granted to a registered student by way of exception, such student may attend a module for which he failed to register before the end of the second week of classes, provided that such student shall pay a surcharge of R100.

4.2.6 Joining a programme late After the end of the second week of classes, no application for a change of programme or for a new entry into any module or any diploma, certificate or degree programme shall be considered.

4.2.7 Limitations with regard to registration for modules on the basis of timetable clashes The final timetables for classes, tests and examinations are available separately on the web at the start of a particular year. Before presenting themselves for registration, all prospective students are individually required to scrutinise the class and test timetables for possible clashes of their proposed modules and to limit their choice of modules strictly to the possibilities catered for by these timetables. No student may take modules that clash on any of the timetables. The examinations policy is of such a nature that students who experience clashes on the examination timetable during the first round of examinations may make use of the second round of examinations for one of the clashing modules as their first and only round of examinations in the module concerned, provided that if there are also clashes on the class and/or test timetables, no student will have a right to be accommodated with regard to class and/or test timetable clashes on the basis of the fact that the examinations policy accommodates clashes.

General

4.2.8 Deviation from approved subject combinations A student wishing to take a combination of subjects that differs from an approved degree, certificate and diploma programme shall apply in writing to the secretary of the faculty concerned for formal approval of such combination. The offices of the faculty secretaries are in Block A of the Central Administration Building.

4.2.9 Non-graduated students of other universities 4.2.9.1 A non-graduated student from a recognised South African university other than Stellenbosch University may be permitted to register for a degree, certificate or diploma programme here on condition that he is able to produce proof of successful studies in terms of modules passed, meets the admission requirements and is selected and admitted. Such student shall be admitted to the final examinations at Stellenbosch University only if he has been registered at this University for no less than two years and if he has obtained no less than half of the total credits of the proposed programme at Stellenbosch University, including the major subjects. 4.2.9.2 Before a student from a recognised South African university other than Stellenbosch University may be permitted to register as a student in a programme at SU, he shall lodge with the Registrar a complete student record and a satisfactory certificate of conduct issued by such other university.

4.2.10 Registration of Master’s and Doctoral students Current Master‟s and Doctoral students may register up to 28 February. Regarding failure to register in time, see par. 11 in the chapter „Higher Degrees‟ further on in this book. Master‟s and Doctoral candidates registering for the first time may register up to 31 March, on condition of their having been admitted. 4.3 Commencement of the academic year The classes of 2013 shall commence on Monday 4 February. The commencement dates of programmes that differ from the general date of commencement are given in the Almanac, at the front of this Part of the University Calendar. 4.4 Change of name, surname or marital status To enable the University to keep its records of its students up to date, every student who has had a change of name(s) and/or surname shall submit certified copies of the appropriate documentary proof(s) of each such change at the Information Desk in Block A of the Central Administration Building. In the event of any change of marital status a certified copy of the marriage certificate or divorce papers shall be submitted.

5. ADMISSION AS A SPECIAL STUDENT 5.1 With the exception of applications for admission as a special student in Engineering (block courses) (see par. 4.2.4 above), the closing date for any application for admission as a special student for a given year shall be 30 September of the preceding year for undergraduate modules and 15 January of the year concerned for postgraduate modules. 5.2 A prospective student who does not wish to attend an approved degree, diploma or certificate programme, or who does not meet the admission requirements for such programme, may be admitted to the University as a special student with a view to attending individual modules, subject to approval by the relevant faculty or faculties, on condition that he: 5.2.1 holds at least the School-leaving Certificate of the Matriculation Board or a Senior Certificate of the Department of Education, or qualifications deemed by the University to be adequate; and 5.2.2 achieved in the School-leaving or Senior Certificate examinations an aggregate of not less than 50%. 5.3 A special student shall register at the University for at least one module and shall, in order to be permitted to continue at the University as a special student, pass at least one of the modules registered for, unless special permission therefore is granted by the Readmission Appeals Committee. 5.4 Subject-specific provisions – such as those which prescribe prerequisite modules, corequisite modules and/or pass prerequisite modules for degree, diploma and certificate purposes – shall apply likewise to any modules taken by special students. 5.5 Where a person holding a degree is admitted as a special student to a module of the first, second, and third year of study in a subject, this shall not imply that his admission to postgraduate studies in such subject is automatically guaranteed.

6. ADMISSION OF STUDENTS AT THE START OF THE SECOND SEMESTER Candidates may register as students at the start of the second semester subject to the following general requirements: 6.1 Application, selection and admission They shall, before 15 July, apply for admission as a student on the University‟s prescribed hard-copy form for such application, meet the minimum requirements for the programme involved and be selected for and

113

General

admitted to such programme. Selection and admission to a particular programme are subject to the availability of places for study in the programme. 6.2 Registration They shall be registered as students within the first two weeks of classes. Please note that to be registered as a student is not just a matter of giving one‟s personal, biographical and academic particulars for official recording by the University, but also the immediate payment of the prescribed fees at the cashiers. 6.3 Undergraduate degree students, special students, certificate students and diploma students Any person who complies with the admission requirements and rules of the University and who is selected and admitted may start with second-semester modules that carry no prescriptions in terms of prerequisite modules, prerequisite pass modules or corequisite modules. These candidates may be administratively permitted to register at the start of the second semester. 6.4 Honours students 6.4.1 A person may so register as an Honours student if he qualifies, if he has applied to the Registrar in writing before 15 July for admission to a particular Honours programme and if he is acceptable to the department and dean concerned. 6.4.2 The Honours programme being registered for shall be one structured in such a way (semesterised) that commencement in the second semester is possible. Candidates who comply with the requirements may be admitted administratively. 6.5 Master’s students A person may so register as a Master‟s student, on condition that he has been admitted by the department concerned or, where necessary, by Senate on the recommendation of the faculty board concerned. Such admission may then be completed administratively. 6.6 Doctoral students A person may so register as a Doctoral student, on condition that he has been admitted by Senate on the recommendation of the faculty board concerned.

7. CONCURRENT REGISTRATION AT DIFFERENT UNIVERSITIES 7.1 Concurrent registration at different universities for components of the same degree, certificate or diploma 7.1.1 No undergraduate student still in the process of fulfilling the minimum residence requirements for a particular degree, certificate or diploma shall register for modules or for components of modules at this University and another university concurrently. 7.1.2 After satisfying the minimum residence requirements for the degree, certificate or diploma concerned, an undergraduate non-final-year student of this University who lacks (one or more of the) modules required for the said degree, certificate or diploma may be permitted to take such module(s) at another university, provided that no such module shall be a module of one of his major subjects, and provided further that it shall be the case that he is not in a position to take such module(s) here. 7.1.3 Final-year students of this University may be permitted by the faculty board concerned to obtain up to a maximum of one-half of their final-year credit points at Unisa, on condition: 7.1.3.1 that any such student wishing to register for final-year credits at Unisa with a view to the recognition thereof by Stellenbosch University shall verify beforehand whether the Unisa modules in question will be given such recognition, by submitting the content(s) of the said modules to the Stellenbosch University department concerned via the relevant faculty secretary; 7.1.3.2 that such recognition of final-year credits shall be considered only if there are financial reasons (e.g. student no longer on campus) or other reasons (acceptable to the board of the faculty concerned) why such student is unable to take the credits (modules) through Stellenbosch University; 7.1.3.3 that, if modules have before been passed by such student at another university and been recognised by Stellenbosch University for degree purposes, the proposed making up of final-year credits at Unisa shall not result in his obtaining at Stellenbosch University less than half the total number of credits required by the programme; and 7.1.3.4 that this arrangement shall be limited to the final-year modules of Unisa, but that deserving applications for the recognition of final-year modules of other universities than Unisa shall be considered by the Executive Committee (Senate) on an ad hoc basis.

115

General

7.1.4 Postgraduate students of this University may be permitted by Senate, on the recommendation of the faculty board concerned, to take modules or components of modules at another university concurrently with their studies here. 7.2 Concurrent registration at different universities for different degrees or diplomas or as a special student 7.2.1 Students registered at Stellenbosch University for a degree, certificate or diploma programme shall as a rule not be permitted to register concurrently for another degree, diploma or certificate programme at another university. 7.2.2 Exceptions to this rule shall be considered in rare cases only, and then only if the student concerned has already satisfied the minimum residence requirements for at least one of the two qualifications (for example: two degrees, a degree and a diploma or a degree and a certificate) for which he has registered. 7.2.3 Candidates wishing to register as special students at Stellenbosch University and to register as postgraduate students at another university shall obtain prior consent in writing thereto from the SU faculty concerned. 7.2.4 Candidates taking postgraduate programmes at other universities for which they could register at Stellenbosch University shall not be permitted to register as special students at SU simultaneously. If any such non-approved double registration comes to light, the student concerned shall be deregistered forthwith, forfeiting all fees paid.

8. CONCURRENT REGISTRATION FOR MORE THAN ONE PROGRAMME A student who already holds a Bachelor‟s degree and is registered for a postgraduate programme may, in highly exceptional cases, be permitted to register for a further degree, certificate or diploma programme in the same or another faculty concurrently, provided: 8.1 that such concurrent registration shall have been approved by Senate on the recommendation of the faculty board(s) concerned; 8.2 that permission shall be considered only for students who obtained an aggregate of not less than approximately 70% in the relevant Bachelor‟s degree; 8.3 that permission shall be revoked if the student‟s progress in one or both of the degrees/diplomas/certificates for which he has registered concurrently is not to the satisfaction of Senate; and

116

General

8.4 that concurrent residence for two Honours programmes shall not be considered.

9. READMISSION AFTER UNSUCCESSFUL STUDIES Any student (other than an Engineering student, see par. 9.5) whose academic record does not comply with the requirements for readmission to the University for the following year will be informed accordingly by sms and at their SU e-mail addresses before 24 December of the previous year, and then shall have the opportunity to lodge a typed appeal with the University, accompanied by substantiated documentation, until 15 January in which he explains why the University should consider allowing him to resume his studies. Every application for readmission shall be accompanied by an amount of R270. Irrespective of the decision reached by the Readmission Appeals Committee, the said amount of money shall not be refundable. No late applications for readmission shall be accepted. Although the University informs students who do not meet the requirements for readmission accordingly by sms and e-mail and offers them an opportunity to lodge an appeal against expulsion from the University, the onus shall be on the students to determine for themselves whether or not they fulfil the requirements for readmission, and to do so before the final date for appeal by means of their study records and the rules for readmission, as set out below. Should a student suspect that he does not fulfil the requirements for readmission, but has not received an e-mail regarding expulsion from the University, the secretary of the faculty concerned in Block A of the Administration should be contacted without delay before the final date for reapplication. A fully substantiated application for readmission shall be typed by the candidate himself and be directed electronically or on paper to the Registrar along with supporting documents. By “fully substantiated” is meant that the candidate shall provide all relevant information, showing cause why his studies were not successful and why he hopes to study successfully in future. Such information may be of a personal and very sensitive nature; it is nevertheless required that the student shall take the Readmission Appeals Committee into his confidence completely. Supporting documents that substantiate the reasons adduced for poor performance must be attached to the completed application form. All information presented shall be treated in strict confidence. Every applicant should bear in mind that the Readmission Appeals Committee needs to have full information before it if it is to arrive at a fair decision in the applicant‟s own best interest. Where an application has been turned down, no information in further substantiation shall be accepted

117

General

afterwards. The decision of the Readmission Appeals Committee shall be final, and no second appeal from the same applicant shall be considered. For readmission purposes, account is taken of the total number of years that a student has studied at a university, regardless of any change of instructional programme. Where a registered student (i) for the first time in his period of study and of his own choice discontinues his studies on or before 31 July of a given year, or (ii) on the ground of academic considerations is not permitted to proceed to the second semester, or (iii) has been advised by the University not to proceed, he is not debited for such academic year in terms of the readmission rules, provided that a second or further discontinuation on or before 31 July in any subsequent year by the same student will automatically be taken into account for readmission purposes. However, this provision does not apply to cases where in the University‟s view the discontinuation is the result of circumstances beyond the student‟s control, for instance because of medical reasons. In the following paragraphs the rules of readmission are quantified in terms of HEMIS credits. (HEMIS is an acronym for Higher Education Management Information System.) One HEMIS credit equals the minimum number of module credits required in a particular year of study of a programme. The modular credits of each year of study – namely first year, second year, third year, etc. – are linked to a specific fraction of the value of one HEMIS credit, which is calculated as follows: Module credits per year of study converted to HEMIS credits 1 first-year modular credit = 1 divided by the minimum number of module credits required for the first year = the fraction of a HEMIS credit 1 second-year modular credit = 1 divided by the minimum number of module credits required for the second year = the fraction of a HEMIS credit Example: Bachelor of Arts in the Humanities The minimum numbers of modular credits required for the three years of study are assumed to be 126, 128 and 120, respectively. Correspondingly, 1 first-year modular credit = 1/126 = 0,0079 HEMIS credits 1 second-year modular credit = 1/128 = 0,0078 HEMIS credits 1 third-year modular credit = 1/120 = 0,0083 HEMIS credits. 9.1 Undergraduate students 9.1.1 An undergraduate student in a full-time degree, certificate or diploma programme (excluding students in the Faculty of Engineering) who, at the

118

General

end of every year of study, has not obtained the number of HEMIS credits required for his degree, certificate or diploma programme in terms of Sliding Scale A and Sliding Scale B respectively (see below), shall not be further admitted as a student with the proviso that all students who have obtained no less than 0,8 HEMIS credits in a particular academic year gain automatic readmission, even though they may not meet the relevant sliding scale requirements. Please note: Students in the Faculty of Engineering shall moreover be subject to the faculty-specific readmission requirements as set out in par. 9.5 below. The readmission requirements of the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences are set out in Part 12 of the Calendar. 9.1.2 Apart from the sliding scale requirements, a person shall be refused further admission as a student unless he has obtained at least 0,33 HEMIS credits at the end of each year of study, with the exception of: 9.1.2.1 students whose full year programme consists of a module or modules the credits of which (expressed as HEMIS credits) happen to total less than 0,33; 9.1.2.2 first-year students in the Faculty of Science, who have to obtain at least 0,5 HEMIS credits at the end of their first year; and 9.1.2.3 students in the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, who have to obtain at least 0,5 HEMIS credits every year from their first year of study. 9.1.3 Students in approved extended programmes (excepting fields of study in which other approved readmission requirements are in force) shall be subject to the Sliding Scale B in terms of HEMIS credits. At the end of their historical first year, the academic records of these students shall be assessed with due regard to their instructional programme. Students in the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences must obtain a minimum of 0,5 HEMIS credits at the end of their first year of study, in addition to further compliance with the sliding scale requirements, and obtain a minimum of 0,5 HEMIS credits at the end of each year of study.

General

Please note: Each HEMIS credit total is expressed to the second decimal place only; all such numerical adjustments have been made upwards. 9.2 Interactive telematic students (These provisions shall only apply if an undergraduate programme is presented via this modus in future.) Any student following a programme via interactive telematic education shall not automatically be further admitted as a student if, after four years, he has not obtained at least half the total number of credits involved in his three-year programme, namely 1,50 HEMIS credits, or if, after eight years, he has not obtained the total number of credits involved in his three-year programme, namely at least 3,00 HEMIS credits. Any provisions to the contrary notwithstanding, an interactive telematic student is not further admitted as a student unless he has obtained at least 0,15 HEMIS credits for the preceding year of study. 9.3 Appeal for readmission 9.3.1 Where a student, other than an Engineering student (see par. 9.5), fails to qualify for further admission on the grounds referred to above, a written appeal by him (closing date 15 January of the year concerned, and no late applications will be accepted) shall be considered by the Readmission Appeals Committee. 9.3.2 A student has to apply for a specific programme for which readmission is desired. A student who is denied readmission to that programme may not apply for admission to another programme at SU in the same year for which readmission has been denied. 9.3.3 A student who on the grounds referred to above is required to leave the University shall not be permitted to continue his studies here as a special student. 9.3.4 A student who has been refused readmission may apply for readmission as a student for the following year, provided that such application shall be accompanied by a written substantiation and received prior to 30 September of the year preceding that for which readmission is being sought. All such applications shall be considered by the Readmission Appeals Committee. As a rule, the Readmission Appeals Committee shall expect of a student to prove himself academically at another institution, such as Unisa, in the year that readmission has been refused, or thereafter, before a subsequent application for readmission from such student shall be considered.

9.4 Readmission here subsequent to study elsewhere 9.4.1 The admission of a student of another university to Stellenbosch University who by reason of poor academic progress has failed to meet the requirements for continued admission to his field of study there will be dependent on meeting the requirements of Sliding Scale A. Where an applicant does not meet the requirements of Sliding Scale A, the application shall be considered by the Readmission Appeals Committee, regardless of the number of the years studied at the other university(ies). 9.4.2 If a person has studied at one or more other universities and is continuing his studies at Stellenbosch University, his period of residence at such other university or universities shall be taken into account for readmission purposes as in 9.1.1 and 9.1.2 when renewal of his registration as a student is being considered, provided that two years of registration at Unisa will be regarded as equivalent to one year of full-time registration. 9.5 Students in the BEng programme 9.5.1 A person who has been a student in the BEng programme‟s first year of study for one academic year shall be further admitted to the BEng programme as a student only if, during the said academic year, he has obtained at least 0,6 HEMIS credits in the modules prescribed in the said first year of study, provided that at least 0,2 of the HEMIS credits thus obtained shall be from the modules Applied Mathematics B 124 and 154 and Engineering Mathematics 115 and 145. 9.5.2 In order to be permitted to continue his programme, an Engineering student shall obtain, firstly, after each of the periods indicated below: after 1 year: not less than 0,6 HEMIS credits (see also par. 9.5.1 above) after 2 years: not less than 1,4 HEMIS credits after 3 years: not less than 2,2 HEMIS credits after 4 years: not less than 3,0 HEMIS credits after 5 years: not less than 3,6 HEMIS credits after 6 years: not less than 4,2 HEMIS credits Secondly, a person is not granted further admission as a student of Engineering unless he has obtained at least 0,4 (0,6 at the end of the first year) HEMIS credits in the preceding year of study. For students in Engineering who are following the extended degree programme, the following requirements apply: (a) All modules of the first year shall be passed at the achievement level set by the Faculty and communicated to the students by the Faculty at the start of the academic year concerned.

121

General

(b) With regard to mainstream HEMIS credits, from the second year of registration an EDP student is required to obtain the following minimum numbers of HEMIS credits after each year (as indicated) with a minimum number of HEMIS credits of 0,4 a year, to be permitted to continue his programme: after 2 years: not less than 0,6 HEMIS credits after 3 years: not less than 1,4 HEMIS credits after 4 years: not less than 2,2 HEMIS credits after 5 years: not less than 3,0 HEMIS credits after 6 years: not less than 3,6 HEMIS credits after 7 years: not less than 4,2 HEMIS credits Where a student does not qualify for continuation of his studies for the BEng degree after the first year of study, an application for readmission typed by him, along with substantiating documentation, shall be considered by the Readmission Appeals Committee of the University for recommendation to the Executive Committee (Senate), only if such application reaches the Registrar prior to 10 January of the year in which the candidate wishes to continue his studies. The application should include a complete list of reasons, together with substantiating documentation, why the student should be considered for readmission. No late applications for readmission will be accepted. 9.5.3 An Engineering student shall prove himself academically at another institution, such as Unisa, either in the year for which readmission has been refused, or thereafter, before a further application for readmission from him shall be considered.

10. ACADEMIC ACTIVITIES DURING THE DAY AND IN THE EVENINGS, SPORT PURSUITS AND TEST TIMES No non-academic activities may be arranged for/by students between 08:00 and 17:00 on class days in such a manner that they infringe on the University‟s academic activities. As well as conducting academic tests and examinations in the evenings, the University may find it necessary to allocate evening time for certain classes/practicals. Organised sport and recreation take place at the University on weekdays from 17:15. Tests start at 19:30. The only exceptions are in the case of three-hour tests, in which case a department has the right to decide to start the tests at 19:00. In the case of a class in which there are no students who take part in sport and recreational activities, the department may decide, in consultation

122

General

with the students, to adjust the starting time of the tests, on condition that the tests normally would not begin before 18:00.

11. ABSENCE FROM CLASSES AND/OR TESTS A student shall without delay consult the lecturer of a module in which he has been prevented by illness or other causes from attending the classes or taking the class tests or carrying out the class work. Where such absence is due to illness, a written application for leave of absence shall be lodged with the Registrar without delay. This application shall be accompanied by a medical certificate which complies with the following requirements and contains the folowing information: Name of the pasient (student); Date and time of medical examination; An indication that the certificate has been issued after a personal observation (excludes telephonic consultation or communication) of the student by a suitably registered medical practioner; Confirmation that the student will not be able to or was not able to attend class, or take the class test(s) or carry out the class work, due to the illness, and Any other information which, in the judgement of the practitioner would be required or relevant. The University reserves the right to request the prognosis and further information of the practitioner and it accepts in good faith that the student will not unreasonably deny permission in this regard. In cases of absence due to other reasons, the University reserves the right to request corraborating proof at its own discretion. The University reserves the right to allow lecturers or the Registrar to deny applications for leave of absence where such applications are not lodged in good time, or where such applications are not practically feasible. The following guidelines for the consideration of applications by students for leave of absence have been approved by the University‟s Senate: 11.1 Category A leave When leave in this category is granted to a student by the University, lecturers are compelled to accommodate such student (as far as is practically feasible) if he has missed lectures, practicals, seminar work and/or tests as a result of such absence.

123

General

Grounds for consideration 11.1.1 Proven illness of a student, supported by a medical certificate; 11.1.2 A death in the close family of a student, viz. the death of parents, brothers, sisters, grandmothers and grandfathers; 11.1.3 Compulsory attendance, e.g. as a witness in court; 11.1.4 Absence as a result of sport activities in the following circumstances: 11.1.4.1 Absence with regard to trials/national championships for putting together a national (representative) team; 11.1.4.2 Absence with regard to participation as a member of a national team against another country locally; 11.1.4.3 Absence with regard to participation as a member of a national team internationally (tour); 11.1.4.4 Absence with regard to preparation for participation at an international level, as in the case of a rugby test where the team gathers on a Wednesday before the Saturday; 11.1.4.5 Absence with regard to representation of and preparation for participation for another country (e.g. Namibia). In the case of par. 11.1.4.1 - 11.1.4.5, it should be academically feasible, in the estimation of the dean (after consultation with the head of department concerned) for the student to complete the missed work. When considering leave for longer periods, the academic justifiability of such a concession should be investigated. Problems are usually experienced with regard to practicals, as these are not easy to repeat. Interruption of study (if possible) or termination of study should be considered in particular for leave as a result of longer tours. 11.2 Category B leave Leave in this category will be granted a student on condition that he is able to make prior satisfactory arrangements with the lecturers concerned regarding the work (including lectures, practicals, seminar work, tests) in which he might become in arrears during the period under discussion.

Grounds for consideration 11.2.1 Absence with regard to individual participation in international events by invitation; 11.2.2 Absence with regard to participation in representative sport at provincial level; 11.2.3 Absence with regard to representative participation in sport at first league or comparable level, but only in highly exceptional cases, such as

124

General

when league stipulations are changed as a result of decisions taken by provincial and national sport governing bodies; 11.2.4 Absence with regard to representation of SU at national and international level; 11.3 Category C: Refusal of leave Students who are not granted leave of absence shall receive a Category C letter in which the following warning appears among others: “If it should happen that you were in fact absent during the period in question, you should expect no concession from the University in connection with the work (including lectures, practicals, seminar work, tests or examinations) in which you are arrears as a consequence of your absence and this could lead to no class mark(s) being awarded in the module(s) in question.” Participation in events such as University residence league matches falls under Category C. 11.4 Administrative handling of leave of absence (sport) of students 11.4.1 Each application for leave as a result of sport activities should be accompanied by a recommendation from the sport manager concerned and, in the case of applications for Category A leave, also from the Director: Sport and from the Dean of Students, with a clear identification of the category of leave being requested, e.g. A11.1.2 or B11.2.1. 11.4.2 In order to process an application in good time, it should reach the office of the Registrar at the latest one week before the period of absence. 11.4.3 The names of students and the modules being taken by them, as well as details of all academic obligations and appointments during the proposed absence should be included in the application. 11.4.4 Applications for leave of absence of students are usually considered and granted by the Registrar. If there should be any uncertainty, he consults the Vice-Rector (Learning and Teaching) and borderline cases are referred to the Executive Committee of Senate. Urgent borderline cases are finalised by the Registrar in consultation with the dean.

12. UNSATISFACTORY WORK BY STUDENTS If, in the course of the academic year, lecturers find that a student‟s work is unsatisfactory or that he does not attend classes, they may refer the matter, if such student has been called in and warned but fails to respond, to the dean concerned or to his delegate and leave it at their discretion to decide whether

125

General

the parents or guardians of such student are to be notified (see also “General Provisions” of the chapter on “University Examinations”).

13. ISSUING OF DOCUMENTS 13.1 Levy: issuing of academic transcripts and duplicate certificates At the appropriate graduation ceremony, the University by way of standard procedure non-recurrently issues to each qualifying candidate, together with an English copy and an Afrikaans copy of degree, certificate or diploma, a free copy of the complete academic transcript in English and in Afrikaans. Any person currently or previously registered at the University as a student may apply on the prescribed form for a copy of his academic transcript and/or for duplicate certificates. The fees noted below shall be payable for the issuing of the respective documents: Type of document

Amount payable

Academic transcript

R50,00

Duplicate certificate

R75,00

13.2 Procedure for the issuing of academic transcript and/or duplicate certificate An academic transcript and/or duplicate certificate may be requested via the University‟s website (www.sun.ac.za). If the website is used, the instructions regarding the electronic payment of the account should be followed. If access to the internet is not possible, a fax should be sent to 021 808 3822. If the document is requested by fax, the amount payable should first be paid into the University‟s bank account and the deposit slip sent with the request to the above-mentioned fax number. Documents will only be posted once payment has been received. The relevant documents may also be obtained in person from Block A of the Central Administration. In this case, the relevant amount, as shown in par. 13.1 above, should first be paid to the cashiers, after which the receipt should be produced at the Information Desk in Block A of the Central Administration.

14. DISCLOSURE OF STUDENTS’ NAMES AND ADDRESSES TO EMPLOYER ORGANISATIONS The University is approached from time to time by outside organisations that wish to contact final-year students about job opportunities. Council‟s policy

126

General

in this regard is that the University may disclose names and study addresses of final-year students only to bona fide employer organisations – except where any individual final-year students have in writing expressly requested the Registrar not so to disclose their names.

15. FURNISHING OF REPORTS ON ACADEMIC PROGRESS When accepting financial support from an organisation, a student shall be expected to give written consent for such organisation from time to time to request a report on such student‟s academic progress, which the University may then provide to the organisation.

16. PRIVATE STUDENTS’ ORGANISATION (PSO) In terms of a resolution by the Council of the University, all students in private lodgings are required to join the Private Students‟ Organisation (PSO).

17. CHANGING OF PROGRAMMES Senate and Council reserve the right at any time to change or abolish an announced programme, and at any time to introduce a new programme.

18. CONFERMENT OF DEGREES, DIPLOMAS AND CERTIFICATES 18.1 A student shall not be entitled to the privileges attaching to a degree, certificate or diploma until such time as the said degree, certificate or diploma has been conferred upon him. 18.2 Degrees, certificates and diplomas shall be conferred at congregations of the University held at Stellenbosch twice a year, namely in December and in March. Particulars of each such ceremony shall be sent by post to all finalyear students and shall be announced on the University‟s website. 18.3 The wearing of academic dress shall be obligatory at any graduation, certificate and diploma ceremony. Students shall rent the academic gowns, hoods and sashes required to be worn at such events, from the private supplier identified by the University for such purpose. 18.4 If, for whatever reason, a final-year student makes use of the second round of examinations in a module of the November examinations in November or December, and passes, such student shall obtain his qualification at the March graduation ceremonies of the following year.

ACCOMMODATION Please note The chapter on Accommodation, and more specifically the residence placement policy, is currently under revision and was not available in time for publication in Part 1 of the Calendar of the University for 2013. The new policy (and supporting addenda A and B) will be available on the University‟s website (www.sun.ac.za) as soon as it has been approved by Council in the first semester. The new policy will be applicable to all lodging and accommodation matters with regard to the University as of June 2013 – this includes the guiding out of senior students from residences to create space for newcomers (during and towards the end of 2013), as well as the placement of newcomer first-year students during 2013 for intake 2014.

1. RESIDENCE PLACEMENT POLICY 1.1 Points of departure 1.1.1 Residence accommodation should be managed as a strategic asset to help ensure successful study. 1.1.2 A first requirement for achieving this is the establishment of a positive learning environment in the residences. 1.1.3 It should be ensured that those students whose chances of successful study may be improved meaningfully by residence accommodation receive preference in the allocation of places in residences (the “preference” category(ies)). 1.1.4 Excellence and Diversity, which are not mutually exclusive, should enjoy equal importance in the allocation of places in residences. 1.1.5 According to the principle of equal opportunity, every applicant who meets the University‟s admission requirements should have a chance to obtain residence accommodation. 1.2 Strategies 1.2.1 Preference category(ies): identify categories of students exposed to greater academic and social risks and give these students preference in the allocation and retention of residence accommodation. 1.2.2 Create or retain categories of places in residences which are of strategic advantage to the University.

128

General

1.2.3 Manage the gradual growth of the preference category(ies) in the light of demand and the success that is achieved with it. 1.3 Mechanisms 1.3.1 Overarching: The greatest risks are attached to newcomer students in their first and second years of study. The proportion of places in residences allocated to newcomer students (currently 39%) will eventually be increased to 45% of the total. Initially, a minimum of 40% of places in residences across the campus as a whole is reserved for newcomer students. (This implies that there must be some kind of discharge mechanism for a larger number of senior students to make the places available for first-year students.) As a guideline, it is suggested that a minimum of 30% and a maximum of 50% of the students in every residence should be first-year students. 1.3.2 Regarding first-year students who meet the requirements of the programme for which they intend to register: create a preference category of 30% of the places for applicants with the following characteristics (in order of priority/importance): disability; coloured, black and Indian. 1.3.3 The remaining 70% of the places for first-year students is allocated as follows: 35% according to superiority of academic achievement (to be determined in future by the University‟s new access policy) 12% for allocation by the management of the residence, according to approved guidelines 8% for discretionary allocation by the Vice-Rector (Learning and Teaching) (according to approved guidelines submitted inter alia by Maties Sport and the Stellenbosch Foundation) 15% for random drawing by a computer 1.3.4 Senior students wishing to live in residences or to retain their places (subject to the maximum periods of residence accommodation: the maximum for undergraduate students is the minimum number of years of the student‟s programme or, where applicable, extended programme plus one year; the maximum period of accommodation for postgraduate students, including those who were in a residence as undergraduate students, is the minimum duration of the postgraduate programme) must meet the following requirement: 1.3.4.1 Postgraduate students: (postgraduate) qualification.

2. PRACTICAL APPLICATION OF THE PLACEMENT POLICY 2.1 New users of University accommodation 2.1.1 The prescribed form for applying for University accommodation, obtainable from the Admissions and Accommodation Section, shall be completed by the student or, in the case of such person not yet of age, by his parent or guardian acting on his behalf. 2.1.2 The final closing date for such applications for admission to University accommodation shall be 30 June of the preceding year. Late applications shall be considered on merit, however, if vacancies arise. 2.1.3 Any such application for a place in University accommodation shall be considered only after the University has granted the applicant conditional admission to some programme of study. 2.1.4 Selection for accommodation in University residences is made in consideration of scholastic and/or academic performance and in terms of the provisions of the Residence Placement Policy, as set out above in par. 1 of this chapter. 2.1.5 In selecting applicants for accommodation, the University shall give preference to those who intend to take a full degree or diploma programme. Special students are not entitled to accommodation in University residences. 2.1.6 If notified by the University in writing that a place in a University residence has been allocated to him, an applicant shall immediately signify his acceptance by completing the form supplied for the purpose and returning it with the prescribed amount. 2.1.7 A welcoming programme for new students if presented before the start of the academic year and makes provision, among others, for an introduction and adjustment to residence, PSO ward and other general student activities. 2.1.8 First-year students who apply for University accommodation may be placed in any of the various University residences, where they shall be under the supervision of the resident warden concerned, who in turn shall be assisted by a number of senior students acting as advisers. 2.2 Current students 2.2.1 A student currently accommodated in a University residence or in private lodgings and desiring readmission or admission to a University residence for the next year shall apply on the prescribed form prior to the end of July of the present year. 2.2.2 An application for such readmission or admission shall be considered, subject to the provisions of the Residence Placement Policy in par. 1, only if

130

General

the applicant‟s academic performance has been to the University‟s satisfaction and if there is an appropriate vacancy. 2.2.3 Like all new users of University accommodation (cf. par. 2.1.6), any current student admitted to such accommodation for the first time shall pay the prescribed amount. 2.3 Readmission requirements for intake into University residences Please note: The readmission requirements for residences are only a provisional indication and can be adjusted upwards to comply with the targets set out in par. 1.3.1. 2.3.1 Any student‟s readmission to a University residence for a particular calendar year shall be decided on the basis of his performance in the June, November and December examinations of the preceding calendar year and the January examinations of the current calendar year. The University reserves the right to refuse a place in University accommodation to any reapplicant, or to grant a place in University accommodation to any reapplicant conditionally, on the basis of the June examination results and academic records of the preceding year or years. Readmission to University accommodation shall be refused to a student if he fails to meet the academic requirements for such readmission. In order to achieve the goals of the Residence Placement Policy, students currently accommodated in a University residence shall not be readmitted out of hand to a residence, even if they meet the minimum academic requirements for readmission to University accommodation. Because the minimum academic requirement for readmission to University accommodation may change annually depending on the need for places for newcomer first-year students, students currently accommodated in a University residence are advised to ensure that their academic performance does not place them at the bottom of the academic ranking list. 2.3.2 The following academic requirements apply for intake into a residence: 2.3.2.1 At least one-third (0,33) of the modules of the year concerned must be completed successfully. 2.3.2.2 A student who qualifies for academic readmission to the University shall not thereby necessarily meet the minimum academic requirement for readmission/first admission to a University residence. 2.3.2.3 The following scales are applicable here: Please note: The readmission requirements for residences are only a provisional indication and can be adjusted upwards to comply with the targets set out in par. 1.3.1.

Remarks 2.3.2.3.1 For the normal duration of a student‟s curriculum, the credits obtained by him are calculated in terms of the HEMIS credit system for readmission to the University. 2.3.2.3.2 One HEMIS credit is equivalent to the total number of modular credits prescribed for a particular year of study within a particular programme. For example, one HEMIS credit is equivalent to 126 modular credits in the first year for BA in the Humanities; to 133 modular credits in a non-final year for BSc, and to 144 modular credits in the case of BComm (non-final year). 2.3.2.3.3 Particulars of the ways in which calculations are done on the basis of the HEMIS scale are also given in „Readmission after unsuccessful studies‟ (par. 9 of the previous chapter. 2.3.3 A student‟s eligibility for readmission to a University residence shall be appraised for the first time subsequent to the June examinations on the basis of his final marks, class marks and examination marks. If the progress mark in a given module is 48% in June, the module shall be counted in his favour for only one-half of its credits. 2.3.3.1 For second-semester modules and year modules in which a final mark is not available at the end of the year, or where a student‟s final mark is 48% and the second examination has not yet been written, a final mark FM = 48 or a class mark CM = 50 is accepted as sufficient for (conditional) admission to a University residence for the next year. 2.3.4 A student‟s academic performance as appraised in accordance with these rules after the June examinations shall determine whether 2.3.4.1 he is granted (conditional) readmission to a University residence; or 2.3.4.2 he is not granted readmission at that stage.

132

General

2.3.5 In order to qualify provisionally in the June examinations for a place in a University residence for the following year, students are required to have obtained the minimum numbers of HEMIS credit points shown in the table below: Please note: The readmission requirements for residences are only a provisional indication and can be adjusted upwards to comply with the targets set out in par. 1.3.1.

Please note 1. Where a student does not make use of the June round of examinations, HEMIS credit points are calculated on the basis of his class mark. To carry weight in terms of credits, the class mark must be 48% or higher. In the case of year modules, such a student‟s HEMIS credit points depend on his progress mark. Where his progress mark is 48% or higher, half of the module‟s credits are reckoned in his favour. 2. Quite apart from the requirements reflected in the table above, 0,20 HEMIS credits are required in respect of any first semester. 2.3.6 Special students shall not be entitled to University accommodation, except in cases where there is no one on the waiting list. A student who indicates that he intends to register for a postgraduate degree, obtains University accommodation and then registers as a special student shall be required to leave the accommodation immediately. Such a student shall be financially liable in full unless a suitable replacement can be found. 2.4 Placement and transfer of students 2.4.1 All accommodation in University residences or houses shall be allocated for a full academic year, subject to the provisions of 6.3.1 and 6.3.2. 2.4.2 A request by a student for his transfer from one University residence to another shall not as a rule be granted but may be granted in circumstances deemed by the University to be exceptional. 2.4.3 The University reserves the right to transfer a student from one University residence/house to another should it deem such transfer necessary.

133

General

2.4.4 Because of the great demand for the limited number of places in University residences, a student shall not necessarily be placed in the particular University residence applied for. 2.4.5 The University reserves the right, without giving reasons for its decision 2.4.5.1 to refuse a student any accommodation in a University residence; and 2.4.5.2 to cancel a student‟s accommodation in a University residence by giving him one week‟s notice.

3. CANCELLATION OF REGISTRATION AS A STUDENT 3.1 Any person intending to discontinue his studies shall notify the University Office in writing of his decision to cancel his registration as a student. In the absence of such written notice, no rebate on fees shall be considered. Where such written notice does not state a date of cancellation, the date of its receipt by the University Office shall count as the date of cancellation for all purposes, including the purpose of calculating the fees due and payable. 3.2 If the date of cancellation is later than the last date for the registration of subject/module changes, the student shall be liable for the relevant tuition fees for the full semester. On liability for accommodation fees, see „Cancellation of University accommodation‟ below. 3.3 A registered student who for the first time in his student career cancels his registration on or before 31 July of a given year, whether the person does so (i) of his own accord or (ii) because he is precluded for academic reasons from proceeding to the second semester or (iii) because he is advised by the University not to proceed, shall not be debited with such year for the purpose of the rules governing readmission, provided that, if the person makes a second or further cancellation on or before 31 July of a subsequent year, each such subsequent year shall automatically be debited to him under the said rules.

4. CANCELLATION OF UNIVERSITY ACCOMMODATION 4.1 Any person wishing to cancel his accommodation in a University residence shall notify the office of the Centre for Student Communities accordingly in writing at [email protected] or on 021 808 9111, and in the case of a person not yet of age such written notice shall be signed by the parent or guardian. In the absence of such written notice, no rebate on fees shall be

134

General

considered. Where such written notice does not state a date of cancellation, the date of its receipt by the University Office shall count as the date of cancellation for all purposes, including the purpose of calculating the fees due and payable. 4.2 To avoid liability for accommodation fees, a prospective student, if allocated accommodation for a particular year, is required to cancel this on or before 5 January of that year, and a current student, if allocated accommodation for the next year, is required to cancel this on or before 30 September of the current year. (See Student Fees in Calendar Part 3, par 43.) 4.3 If accommodation is cancelled after the relevant date referred to above and no suitable substitute is available to take his place, the prospective or current student shall be held liable for full accommodation fees for the rest of the year. 4.4 The balance of the accommodation fees shall be payable as follows: 75% not later than 15 May, and the final balance not later than 31 August. 4.5 Exceptions to the preceding rules of this section 4 may be allowed on the grounds of illness.

5. AMOUNT PAYABLE ON ACCEPTANCE (FIRST INSTALMENT) 5.1 On being notified in writing by the University that he has been allocated a place in a University residence, a prospective student shall immediately signify his acceptance by completing the form supplied for that purpose and returning it to the University together with the prescribed amount. 5.2 If a prospective student fails to pay the above-said first instalment of the accommodation fee by the date specified in the letter of notification, his accommodation shall be cancelled forthwith. 5.3 The full first instalment of the accommodation fee shall be refunded if the accommodation allocated to a prospective student for a particular year is cancelled by him before 31 October of the preceding year. 5.4 Where a prospective student either fails to be selected for the programme of study of his choice, or is prevented by circumstances beyond his control from taking up his already accepted place in a University residence, the University may in its discretion refund the first instalment of the accommodation fee deposit on an ad hoc basis.

General

UNIVERSITY EXAMINATIONS 1. GENERAL PROVISIONS The duration and the scope of the programmes and examinations for the various degrees, certificates and diplomas shall be as prescribed by Council in consultation with Senate. Also see par. 8.2.1 further on in this chapter for the duration of examination questions. A student registered for a degree, certificate or diploma programme shall not be admitted to the examinations in any particular module of such programme unless he has attended the curriculum prescribed for such module and has during the semester/year satisfactorily performed the work prescribed in such module (see also the chapter on „Admission and Registration‟, par. 12). On completion of a curriculum prescribed for a degree or diploma, a student shall, except where there are formal provisions to the contrary, take examinations in all modules of such curriculum. Examinations for a higher degree in a subject may include questions on the work of the preceding degree. Honours and Master‟s examinations in second-semester and year modules are normally written during the November examinations, but a department is permitted to conduct an examination at the start of the following year, provided that these examinations are completed before the end of January. Please note: In all tests and examinations, any answer required to be given in writing shall be written in ink.

2. DISCUSSING EXAMINATION ANSWERS WITH MEMBERS OF THE TEACHING STAFF If a student wishes to learn from his mistakes, he shall be at liberty to discuss his examination answers with the lecturer(s) concerned, provided that: 2.1 A student shall not view his corrected examination script(s) other than in the presence of the lecturer(s) concerned. 2.2 The discussion of such examination script(s) shall take place after the last day that has been set for the submission of final marks and with due allowance for any further arrangements which the department concerned may have made with the approval of the relevant faculty board. 2.3 Students in the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, if they are subject to reassessment, shall complete their reassessment before such discussion can take place.

141

General

2.4 Any request for such discussion shall be made within one month after the official confirmation of the examination results in question by the ViceRector (Learning and Teaching). 2.5 The opportunity to discuss examination results with the lecturer(s) concerned is not intended as an opportunity for the re-evaluation of the examination mark received. 2.6 Also see par. 8.2.8 further on in this chapter for information on the discussion of the first examination.

3. RE-EVALUATION OF EXAMINATION SCRIPTS Students are strongly advised first to work through their scripts with the lecturer(s) before applying for re-evaluation. A student who fails an examination in a module may, upon payment of a deposit of R600, make written application to the Registrar for a re-evaluation of the examination script concerned, subject to the provisions outlined below. 3.1 General provisions 3.1.1 Applications, accompanied by the above-mentioned deposit, shall reach the Registrar by Friday of the first week of classes in the second semester with regard to the June examinations, and by Friday of the first week of classes in the first semester with regard to the November examinations. However, these dates do not apply to the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, which faculty‟s students shall receive programme-specific deadlines each year. 3.1.2 No application shall be considered for the re-evaluation of practical subjects or any modules that have been subject to external examiners or moderators. 3.1.3 In the case of modules that are evaluated by means of continuous assessment or flexible assessment, no re-evaluation of test scripts and other assignments for assessment shall be considered. See par. 8.4.11.2 later in this chapter for the recalculation of the final mark. 3.1.4 Students who write and fail a dean‟s concession examination shall not be entitled to the re-evaluation of the examination script. 3.2 Internal re-evaluation 3.2.1 Firstly, the re-evaluation is undertaken by the internal examiner. 3.2.2 The relevant departmental/divisional/module chair shall arrange for the re-evaluation with the internal examiner concerned, after such chair has made certain that no calculation errors had been made in determining the mark allocated to the examination script.

142

General

3.2.3 The department must provide the written result of the re-evaluation to the Office of the Registrar, normally within one week of receiving the request for re-evaluation. 3.3 External re-evaluation 3.3.1 Should the internal examiner stand by the initial examination result (i.e. if the student still fails following internal re-evaluation), the examination script(s) shall be re-evaluated by one competent external examiner. 3.3.2 Should a student‟s examination script(s) qualify for external reevaluation in terms of 3.3.1 above, the Registrar shall obtain the name of one available external examiner for the relevant module, in consultation with the programme coordinator or departmental chair concerned. 3.3.3 The Registrar shall provide the external examiner with the relevant examination script(s), the examination paper and, where possible, the memorandum/scoring schedule, as well as a copy of these provisions. With the necessary security measures in place, these documents could be sent in hard copy or electronic format. In an accompanying letter, the Registrar shall request the following from the external examiner: 3.3.3.1 That he re-evaluates the script(s) and allocates a mark in accordance with the memorandum. 3.3.3.2 That, should the external examiner‟s mark differ from the initial mark, he clearly outlines in writing the method used to obtain the new mark, explaining where and why he differs with the internal examiners. 3.3.4 The external examiner shall be requested to inform the Registrar in writing of the result of the re-evaluation within a reasonable period. 3.3.5 No external re-evaluation of an examination script shall be permitted with a view to admission to the second round of examinations/reexamination. 3.4 Dispute resolution 3.4.1 In case of a significant difference of opinion between the examiners concerned (to such an extent that it remains unresolved whether the student has passed or failed), the programme coordinator or departmental chair shall call an extraordinary meeting with the dean and a senior academic staff member appointed by the dean, as well as the relevant examination committee in the case of the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences. This ad hoc committee, chaired by the dean, shall take a final and binding decision.

143

General

3.5 Condonation of final mark 3.5.1 Save for the scenarios described in 3.4 above, the final mark achieved by the student (including condonation of the mark) shall be determined and confirmed by the dean, in consultation with the relevant programme coordinator or departmental chair. 3.6 Notification of the lecturer(s) concerned 3.6.1 The relevant departmental chair or programme coordinator shall inform the lecturer(s) concerned of the final result of the re-evaluation process.

4. REGISTRATION FOR EXAMINATION PURPOSES ONLY 4.1 Undergraduate students may register for examination purposes solely if they have not registered for any SU modules and have been permitted to follow a module(s) of another university for the purpose of obtaining a qualification at SU. 4.2 Postgraduate students shall not be allowed to register for examination purposes solely. They shall register as full students, provided, however, that they may be granted exemption from tuition fees under certain circumstances.

5. RECOGNITION OF OTHER UNIVERSITIES’ EXAMINATIONS Modules passed by a student at another university may be recognised by the University subject to certain conditions as determined by individual faculties. Every application for such recognition shall be considered on its own merits. Subject to the foregoing provisions, any candidate for a degree, diploma or certificate of this University shall be allowed to have obtained at another university at most half of the credit points prescribed for such proposed qualification, provided that all final-year modules shall be passed at this University (see par. 7.1.3 in the chapter on Admission and Registration for an exception to this rule).

6. RECOGNITION OF MODULES: SECOND DEGREE A student who has previously obtained a degree at Stellenbosch University and now wishes to register for a second undergraduate degree may apply for recognition of the modules of the first degree in place of those of the second degree, provided that not less than one-half of the credit points of the second degree, including the credit points of a complete new component of major subjects/final-year subjects, shall be taken and passed at SU.

144

General

7. RULES FOR STUDENT CONDUCT AT TESTS AND EXAMINATIONS 7.1 Candidates are not permitted to communicate with each other in test or examination rooms. 7.2 Examination aids (including blank paper, books, written material and electronic apparatus, excluding cell phones, which must be switched off) are not permitted in test or examination rooms, except where the use of specific items is expressly permitted or prescribed. 7.3 Candidates are not permitted to read or copy any answer or part of any answer that another candidate has written in his examination answer book or on his question paper. 7.4 The removal of parts of examination answer books is not permitted. 7.5 The front page of every examination answer book used shall be completed in full and all the instructions on the back of the answer book shall be properly read. 7.6 If more than one answer book is used, the second and subsequent books shall be placed inside the first book when handing it in. 7.7 Every answer book issued to a candidate shall be handed to an invigilator by that candidate before leaving the examination room. 7.8 No extra time shall be granted to a candidate who arrives late. 7.9 Candidates are not permitted to leave the examination room during the first 45 minutes of a test or examination session. Candidates who arrive more than 45 minutes after the start of the test or examination will not be allowed to enter the test or examination room. 7.10 Read the instructions on your question paper. 7.11 All written test and examination answers must be written in ink. 7.12 Each student must show his photo identity card (student card), or identity document or driver‟s licence if the student card is temporarily not available, on entry into the venue.

8. PROVISIONS RELATING TO EXAMINATIONS AND PROMOTION In addition to the requirements set out below, certain programmes are subject to additional requirements. Such further requirements are as set out in the relevant faculty‟s Part of the Calendar.

145

General

8.1 Definitions

8.1.1 Subject A subject is a discrete discipline or field of learning, e.g. Anatomy, Applied Mathematics, Economics, General Linguistics, Microbiology, Philosophy or Zoology.

8.1.2 Module A module is a set of lectures, seminars, practicals, etc. covering a particular area within a subject and constituting a unit for performance and credit purposes.

8.1.3 Degree, certificate or diploma programme A degree, certificate or diploma programme is the combination of modules (curriculum) prescribed for some specific degree, diploma or certificate.

8.1.4 Semester module A semester module is a module that constitutes a unit and that extends over one semester, irrespective of its lecture load or credit value.

8.1.5 Year module A year module is a module that constitutes a unit and that extends over two semesters in one academic year, irrespective of its lecture load or credit value.

8.1.6 Extended module An extended module is a module that constitutes a unit and extends over more than one academic year, irrespective of its lecture load or credit value.

8.1.7 Attendance module An attendance module is a module where the sole requirement is satisfactory attendance of classes/lectures.

8.1.8 Class mark In modules in which an examination is required, a class mark is allocated. In the determination of a student‟s class mark in any module, account shall be taken of his class attendance and class work, tests, tasks, assignments and practical work (where appropriate) done by him in such module. The manner in which class marks are determined shall be made known to the students at the start of the respective semester or year by means of the module framework. In modules in which the class mark also counts as the final mark, the rules for the determination of such mark shall be the same as for the class mark above.

146

General

8.1.9 Examination mark A student‟s performance in an examination is represented by an examination mark. In exceptional cases an assessment that was done prior to the examination, for instance an assessment of a test conducted in a computer users‟ area, may be incorporated in the examination mark. Where any such assessment is thus to be reckoned in, the weighting thereof relative to the mark obtained in the examination shall be made known to the students at the start of the respective semester or year by means of the module framework.

8.1.10 Final mark A student‟s overall, final performance in a module is represented by a final mark (Afrikaans: „prestasiepunt‟). In the determination of any final mark, account is taken of the class mark and examination mark in accordance with a fixed formula. The formula used for a particular module shall be subject to the rules laid down in par. 8.3.3 further on in this chapter and shall be made known to the students at the start of the respective semester or year by means of the module framework. Only the final mark will be used to determine whether a student passes a module (with or without distinction), fails a module, obtains bursaries, etc. See par. 8.1.8 above for modules in which the class mark also counts as the final mark.

8.1.11 Progress mark A progress mark is the mark allocated in a year module at the end of the first semester on the basis of the student‟s performance in tests, tasks and other assignments up to June of the year concerned.

8.1.12 Dean’s concession examination If, subsequent to his/her last examination, a final-year student is less than 33 credits short for a degree/diploma/certificate, and he has obtained a final mark in the relevant module(s) during the academic year (unless other rules in this regard have been approved for a particular faculty), a dean could request the department(s) concerned to grant the relevant student (a) special examination(s) (dean‟s concession examination). (Also see par. 3.1.4 under “Re-evaluation of examination scripts”). Subject to the rules stated above, every faculty shall have the right to make faculty-specific rules with regard to dean‟s concession examinations, and these are usually explained in the faculty calendar concerned. An amount of R660 is payable when a dean‟s concession examination is granted. The amount must be paid at the cashiers in Block A of the Central Administration Building as soon as possible. The named amount is also

147

General

payable should a department grant a postgraduate student a special exam in a postgraduate submodule.

8.1.13 Prerequisite pass module A prerequisite pass module is a module in which a candidate has to obtain a pass mark before he is permitted to proceed to the module(s) for which this module is prescribed.

8.1.14 Prerequisite module A prerequisite module is a module in which a candidate has to attain a class mark of not less than 40 before he is permitted to proceed to the module(s) for which it is prescribed, except in modules examined by continuous assessment, for which a final mark of 40 is a prerequisite. Without a pass in such prerequisite module, the candidate does not qualify for the award of the degree, certificate or diploma concerned. If a candidate has once obtained a mark which meets the minimum prescribed as a prerequisite for another module, his compliance with the prerequisite rule shall continue to remain valid.

8.1.15 Corequisite module A corequisite module is a module which a candidate has to take in an earlier semester than, or in the same semester as, the module for which it is prescribed. Without a pass in such corequisite module, the candidate does not qualify for the award of the degree, certificate or diploma concerned.

8.1.16 A module in arrears A module in arrears is a module that forms part of a student‟s approved, compulsory degree, diploma or certificate curriculum that has not yet been passed.

8.1.17 Extra module An extra module is a module which does not form a prescribed part of a student‟s degree, certificate or diploma programme, nor is it a corequisite module for prescribed modules or a prerequisite pass module or prerequisite module for continuing with prescribed modules in the next semester or year of study of such degree, diploma or certificate programme. Any module prescribed for a degree, certificate or diploma that is being taken as an extra module is subject to exactly the same provisions as those for prescribed modules taken for the purpose of obtaining a degree, certificate or diploma. See also par. 8.3.9 and 8.3.10 later in this chapter.

148

General

8.1.18 Continuous assessment The continuous assessment of students is a process by which their lecturers arrive at the students‟ final marks for the semester module or year module concerned. Each student‟s work is systematically assessed on successive occasions during the semester or year. Students are allocated their (definitive) final marks for the module without having to take a formal University examination at the end of the module. See also par. 8.4 later in this chapter.

8.1.19 Flexible assessment Flexible assessment (in terms of the determination of a final mark) is a process by which a student‟s work in a semester- or year-module is systematically assessed and weighed through consecutive opportunities during the course of the semester/year using a variety of assessment methods e.g. assignments, tests, portfolios, orals, laboratory investigations, seminars, tutorials, project reports etc. (depending on the specific requirements and outcomes of the module). A final mark is awarded without concluding the study period with a formal university examination. Also see par 8.5 further on in this chapter. 8.2 Examinations NB: Specific provisions for Honours and Master’s examinations are presented in par. 8.2.18 below. 8.2.1 The University makes provision for only two examinations of equal value with a duration of 1 to 3 hours per examination, or longer if so approved by Senate upon sufficient motivation, on completion of each module for which an examination is required. 8.2.2 The two examinations in first-semester modules are scheduled for the end of the first semester and are known as the first examination in June and the second examination in June. The first examination in June will usually start before the end of May and will be followed immediately by the second examination in June (see Almanac near the front of this Calendar for the dates). 8.2.3 The two examinations in second-semester and year modules will be scheduled for the end of the second semester and are known as the first examination in November and the second examination in November. The first examination in November will usually start before the end of October and will be followed immediately by the second examination in November, which will end early in December (see Almanac near the front of this Calendar for the dates).

149

General

Please note: Final-year students who utilise and pass the re-examination in November for whichever reason will receive the relevant qualification during the graduation ceremonies in March of the following year. 8.2.4 All students who obtain admission to the examination (see par. 8.2.7 for examination admission) in a module are free to choose whether they want to write the first or the second examination in a module, provided that the decision to write the first examination is irreversible once the student has reported for the first examination. A student who becomes ill while writing the first examination in a module shall complete the examination session. It therefore is advisable that, if a student is ill before the first examination in a module, he should strongly consider rather writing the second examination in the module. 8.2.5 No further rounds of examination in a module, with the exception of a dean‟s concession examination (see par. 8.1.12 further on in this chapter), will be granted after the second examination, no matter what the reason why the examination could not be written. 8.2.6 In cases in which the examination in a module consists of more than one examination paper, all papers should be written during the same round of examinations. If one question paper for a module, in cases in which the examination consists of more than one question paper, could not be written during the examinations for whatever reason, and the student concerned does not pass the module according to the normal formula for the calculation of the final mark, the examination mark(s) for the examination paper(s) that could be written shall lapse and all question papers of the particular module must be written during the second examination. In this case, admission to the second examination will only be granted if an (average) examination mark of at least 50% was obtained in the question paper(s) that was(were) in fact completed during the first examination. 8.2.7 No student shall be admitted to either of the two examinations in a module unless he has obtained a class mark of at least 40. This rule is subject to the provision that a class mark in any module shall be obtained before the examination in such module, and further that no student shall be refused admission to an examination in a module for which his class mark has been determined on the basis of a single testing. 8.2.8 A student who does not pass a module in the first examination, but who obtains a calculated final mark of at least 40 - as calculated as in par. 8.3.3.2 and before the application of par. 8.3.3.7 to 8.3.3.9 - shall be permitted to write the second examination in the module also. (Before the second round of examinations in a module, such students shall be allowed to discuss their first examination - but not the examination paper - with the lecturer in order to learn from their mistakes.)

150

General

8.2.9 Students who experience clashes on examination timetables during the second examination are accommodated by the Examinations Section in that arrangements will be made for the clashing examinations to be written one immediately after the other during the second examination and under supervision as arranged by the Examinations Section. 8.2.10 The fact that the examinations system allows clashing modules to be taken does not grant any student the right to be accommodated with regard to clashes on the class and/or test timetables. 8.2.11 The notices to candidates - who failed (a) module(s) in the examination with (a) final mark(s) of at least 40 - granting admission to the second examination take place in the department by way of a written notice on a specified notice board and electronically (for example on Webstudies), on condition that: 8.2.11.1 The notice is placed as soon as possible during the first examinations in June and November respectively, but at least five examination days (Monday to Saturday could as examination days) before the second examination day for the module concerned, unless motivated permission has been obtained from the dean concerned for a shorter notice period. This deviation shall be communicated to the student concerned in the first two weeks after the start of a module. The best way of communicate to students the results of the first examination – and to thus communicate which students gain admission to the second examination – is to complete the list of final marks for a particular module on the University‟s central computer system. This way students have immediate access to exam results. Please note: All final marks for the first examination in November shall, however, be submitted on the Tuesday as stipulated in the Almanac near the front of this Calendar for the execution of the further processes with a view to the graduation ceremonies in December. (This provision therefore overrides the rule with regard to five examination days mentioned above in relation to the second round of examinations that are scheduled for after the Tuesday concerned.) 8.2.11.2 The notice is only placed on normal work days (Monday to Friday). 8.2.11.3 If there are no candidates in a module who have obtained admission to the second examination in terms of par. 8.2.8, a notice to this effect should also be posted. 8.2.12 Internally and externally moderated final marks for the two examinations in June must be submitted no later than the last Friday before the start of classes for the second semester (see Almanac near the front of this book).

151

General

8.2.13 Internally and externally moderated final marks for the first examination in November must be submitted no later than on the Tuesday concerned of November, as stipulated in the Almanac near the front of this book, with a view to the graduation ceremonies in December. 8.2.14 Internally moderated final marks for non-final-year modules of the second examination in November must be submitted no later than on the first Tuesday after the conclusion of the examination period (see Almanac near the front of this book). 8.2.15 Externally moderated final marks for exit-level modules of the second examination in November must be submitted no later than on the second Friday in January of the following year. 8.2.16 The above-mentioned examinations policy is not applicable to the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences in all instances. Consult the University Calendar Part 12 (Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences) for more details in this regard. 8.2.17 For students who follow programmes via interactive telematic education, the first examination in a module will be a compulsory examination and the second examination will be a re-examination. Furthermore, the re-examinations of the June examination will take place after the first examination in November (in August for Nursing ), and the reexaminations of the November examination will take place in January of the following year. The dates for the submission of the moderated final marks will be arranged with the relevant departments by the division for Interactive Telematic Services in consultation with the Student Information System Support Section. 8.2.18 Honours and Master‟s examinations in second-semester and year modules are normally written during the November examinations, but a department is permitted to conduct an examination at the start of the following year, provided that it is completed before the end of January. 8.3 General rules and rules for promotion for examinations in undergraduate programmes

8.3.1 Records of class marks, examination marks and final marks A full record of class marks, examination marks and final marks for each module presented by it shall be kept in every academic department. The students‟ class marks are made known to them by every department before the start of the examinations. All class marks and final marks shall be entered into the central computer system of the University, with the exception of marks for modules in which the class mark also counts as the final mark, in

152

General

which case only the final mark will be entered into the central computer system. A student‟s final mark shall be the sole basis for determining whether he has passed a module (with or without distinction) or has failed it, is granted any bursaries, etc. The class mark may be used for admission to the examination, in connection with prerequisites and in certain cases also for admission to University residences.

8.3.2 Admission to the examinations 8.3.2.1 Except in the case of modules for which no class mark is required, no student shall be admitted to either of the two examinations in a module unless he has obtained a class mark of at least 40. This rule is subject to the provision that a class mark in any module shall be obtained before the first examination in such module, and further that no student shall be refused admission to an examination in a module for which his class mark has been determined on the basis of a single testing. 8.3.2.2 A student who writes the first examination for a module, and fails, but who obtains a calculated final mark of at least 40 (calculated as in par. 8.3.3.2 and before the application of par. 8.3.3.7 - 8.3.3.9), shall be permitted to write the second round of examinations as well. 8.3.2.3 If the first examination in a module could not be written because of illness or for any other reason, the second examination in the module may be used without the need to obtain permission, but then as the first and only further round of examinations in the module.

8.3.3 Allocation of final marks Except in any module taught by continuous assessment or flexible assessment, and except in cases where only a final mark applies, a student‟s final mark for a module (0-100) shall be calculated on the joint basis of the class mark (0-100), which shall be based upon assessment done during the term of such module, and the examination mark (0-100), which shall represent the student‟s performance in the first examination and/or, where appropriate, the second examination for such module, subject to the following provisions: 8.3.3.1 In a module for which no final examination is prescribed, in other words in which continuous assessment or flexible assessment is used, as well as in a module for which the class mark counts as final mark, only a final mark shall be required. 8.3.3.2 In the calculation of a student‟s final mark, his class mark and his examination mark shall normally be combined in the ratio of 40 to 60 for semester modules and 50 to 50 for year modules and extended modules. The ratio between the class mark and the examination mark in the calculation of the

153

General

final mark may be adjusted by a faculty, subject to the approval of the faculty board and subject to the restriction that neither of the two component marks is to make up less than 40% of the final mark, provided that the department concerned shall make such ratio known to the students at the start of the respective semester or year by means of the module framework. 8.3.3.3 A final mark of lower than 50 may not be awarded if the examination mark in the first examination or the second examination is 50 or higher. 8.3.3.4 Where a student has written only the first examination, his examination mark shall be the mark obtained in the examination in question. 8.3.3.5 Where a student has written both the first examination and the second examination for a module, the examination mark shall be the mark obtained in the second examination. Subject to par. 8.3.3.3, the final mark allocated after the second examination shall not, however, be less than the final mark allocated after the first examination. It may also not be higher than 50. For a student who wrote only the second exam, the terms of paragraphs 8.3.3.2 and 8.3.3.3 apply for calculating the final mark. 8.3.3.6 Where a student is entitled after the first examination to write the second examination also, but does not present himself therefore, the final mark allocated to him after the first examination shall count as the final mark for the module. 8.3.3.7 Final marks shall be allocated in terms of an integer. Final marks between 35 and 50 shall be allocated in multiples of five. Departments are at liberty to allocate final marks below 35 or over 50 in multiples of five at their discretion. Also note the important provision in par. 8.3.2.2 above. 8.3.3.8 A final mark of less than 50 shall be allocated if a student, in the examination, obtains an examination mark of less than 40. Also note the important provision in par. 8.3.2.2 above. 8.3.3.9 A final mark of less than 40 shall be allocated if a student obtains an examination mark of less than 30 in the examination. Also note the important provision in par. 8.3.2.2 above. 8.3.3.10 Departments shall exercise particular care in determining the final mark in any instance that involves the borderline between a pass and a pass with distinction. 8.3.3.11 If there is any doubt whether a student shall pass a module with distinction or not, the department concerned may offer the student an opportunity to undergo an ancillary oral examination in the module in question. The oral examination shall be conducted only after the student has completed all his examinations of the round of examinations concerned. In accordance with University regulations, the above-mentioned oral

154

General

examination shall be conducted without exception by not less than two examiners.

8.3.4 Passing a module In order to pass a module, a student shall obtain in such module a final mark of not less than 50.

8.3.5 Passing a module with distinction In order to pass a module with distinction, a student shall obtain in such module a final mark of 75 or more.

8.3.6 Modules in which the class mark also counts as final mark In the case of a module (including a continuation module in the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences) where the class mark also counts as final mark, a student shall obtain a class mark of 50 or more to pass the module, and the class mark shall count as the final mark.

8.3.7 Improvement of class mark which counts as final mark 8.3.7.1 For modules where the class mark also counts as the final mark, such final marks shall be submitted together with the final marks of examination modules. 8.3.7.2 In the case of any module where the class mark also counts as the final mark, a student shall be allowed until the end of January to improve his class mark, which therefore shall result in the consequent improvement of his final mark. 8.3.7.3 On similar modules in the Faculty of Engineering, please see Part 11 (Faculty of Engineering) of the University Calendar.

8.3.8 Repeating a module 8.3.8.1 Where a student: 8.3.8.1.1 does not qualify for admission to an examination or presents himself for neither of the examinations, his class mark shall fall away and he shall be allocated a final mark of zero for the module concerned; or 8.3.8.1.2 passes a module in neither of the examinations, his class mark shall fall away. 8.3.8.2 In either of the above-said events, the student shall be required to repeat the attendance of all lectures and practicals of the module concerned as if attending it for the first time, provided that a department shall be at liberty to grant exemption from any attendance or other requirements. When exercising such liberty, a department shall communicate to the student in writing the concession(s) being made to him.

155

General

Please note: Such exemption from attendance or other requirements of a module does not in any way exempt the candidate from the requirement of registering for the module as a full-time student.

8.3.9 Examinations in extra modules Examinations in extra modules shall be written during the normal examination periods.

8.3.10 Restrictions on the registration for prescribed programme modules In the best interests of the academic success of undergraduate students, no student shall be permitted to register for a credit load of more than 1,5 HEMIS credits in a given academic year. Expressed as module credits, this means that no undergraduate student shall be permitted to register for more than the equivalent of 1,5 years of the module credits for his study programme in a specific year.

8.3.11 Restrictions on the registration for extra modules The following restrictive provisions shall apply to the taking of extra modules (in the sense of „extra modules‟ defined in paragraph 8.1.17 above): 8.3.11.1 Where a student has a full credit load in terms of the degree, certificate or diploma programme for which he registers, he may be permitted to register for extra modules with a view to obtaining additional credits, provided that, if the programme so registered for is a structured programme, for instance in the Faculties of Education, Medicine and Health Sciences, Law or Theology, or is the final year of study of the programme for either the BA or the BComm (Law ) and BAccLLB degree, such student shall by application in writing to the appropriate faculty board obtain permission to take the extra module(s) proposed. 8.3.11.2 Where a student registers for fewer credits than the normal year credit load for his degree, certificate or diploma programme, he may register for extra modules up to an overall number of credits not exceeding the said normal number of year credits for his degree, certificate or diploma programme, subject to the provisions of par. 8.3.11.1 above. 8.3.11.3 Where a student registers for more credits than the normal year credit load for the relevant year of study of his degree, diploma or certificate programme on account of being in arrears with one or more modules, he shall not be permitted to take any extra modules.

156

General

8.3.12 Taking more than one year of study in a subject concurrently 8.3.12.1 Undergraduate students Undergraduate students shall be permitted to take more than one year of study concurrently, provided that 8.3.12.1.1 all prerequisite pass, prerequisite and corequisite requirements for the module(s) concerned are met; 8.3.12.1.2 the class and test timetables allow the modules concerned to be taken concurrently; and 8.3.12.1.3 the minimum residence requirements for the programme concerned are met.

8.3.12.2 Special students Special students may take more than one year of study of an undergraduate subject concurrently, provided that the rules of the faculty board concerned are adhered to and the department concerned approves. See also par. 5.5 in the chapter “Admission and Registration”.

8.3.12.3 Postgraduate students Postgraduate students may take more than one year of study of an undergraduate subject concurrently, provided that the rules of the faculty board concerned are adhered to and the department or programme committee concerned approves.

8.3.13 Obtaining a degree, certificate or diploma For the purpose of determining whether a student is to be awarded a degree, certificate or diploma, the student must comply with the residential and class attendance requirements and pass all the modules that form part of the curriculum of the relevant degree, certificate or diploma programme.

8.3.14 Obtaining a degree, certificate or diploma with distinction 8.3.14.1 For the purpose of determining whether a student is to be awarded a degree, certificate or diploma with distinction (cum laude), the student‟s aggregate (P) over the normal duration of the programme shall be calculated in accordance with the following formula: P = [A(1) + A(2) + ... + A(n)]/n where n represents the number of years of study prescribed as the normal duration of the instructional programme concerned and the series A(l), A(2) ... A(n) represents the respective weighted averages (the calculations being done with the credit values of modules) of the various sets of final marks of

157

General

all the prescribed modules obtained by the candidate for the first, second and nth such year of study. 8.3.14.2 Except in the instances mentioned hereafter, a student shall obtain a degree, certificate or diploma with distinction if: 8.3.14.2.1 the value of P is not less than 75 and 8.3.14.2.2 the value of A(n) is not less than 75. 8.3.14.3 A student in the Faculty of AgriSciences shall obtain a degree with distinction if: 8.3.14.3.1 the value of P is not less than 75 and 8.3.14.3.2 the average of the various final marks for the respective major subjects, regardless of the year of study in which they have been taken, is not less than 75. 8.3.14.4 For the postgraduate LLB degree, only the marks for those modules that are prescribed for LLB II and LLB III shall be taken into account in the calculation of a pass with distinction, and the weighted minimum average required shall be 75%. 8.3.14.5 A weighted average for the year of between 74,5% and 75% is automatically rounded up to 75% (although not by the computer), provided that such cases will always be dealt with in consultation with the dean concerned. 8.3.14.6 In the case of degrees of Bachelor Honours and of Master‟s degrees (excepting MMed and MFamMed), a student shall be awarded the degree with distinction if he obtains a final mark of not less than 75 for the core/anchor/programme module. 8.3.14.7 In the case of the MMed degree, a student shall pass with distinction if he obtains a final mark of not less than 75 in his major subject. 8.3.14.8 In the case of the BEdHons degree, a student shall pass with distinction if he obtains a weighted average final mark of not less than 75 and a final mark of not less than 75 in at least four of the seven modules. 8.3.14.9 In the case of the Postgraduate Certificate in Education (PGCE), the following modular weights shall be used in the calculation of passes with distinction: 8.3.14.9.1 Curriculum Studies 774(12)

8.3.14.9.2 In the case of the Postgraduate Certificate in Education (PGCE), a student shall pass with distinction if, in addition to complying with all the prescribed requirements, he has obtained a final mark of not less than 70 in Teaching Practice 775(26). 8.3.14.10 Attendance modules shall not be taken into account in the calculation of passes with distinction. 8.3.14.11 A Doctorate (the degree of Doctor) shall not be awarded with distinction. 8.4 Rules relating to continuous assessment of modules The provisions of paragraphs 8.3.4 and 8.3.5 above are applicable to all modules that are subject to continuous assessment. In addition, the following provisions relate to continuous assessment as a process of determining a student‟s final mark for a module: 8.4.1 No formal class mark shall be awarded. On the prescribed date for the submission of final marks, a final mark alone shall be entered into the central computer system of the University. 8.4.2 The final mark shall be based on the following: assessment of a student‟s work on various occasions, spread throughout the semester(s), by means of, for example, assignments, tests, laboratory investigations, seminars and tutorials, depending on the requirements specific to the module. A final mark of less than 50 may be awarded to a student who does not complete a predetermined number of tests/assignments for a module that is subject to continuous assessment. 8.4.3 All opportunities for assessment shall be subject to the following rules: Contribution of single opportunity for assessment to final mark: Semester modules: no more than 25%, or no more than 50% in the case of a semester module of which the classes are concluded within a term, as defined in par. 8.4.9.

159

General

Year modules: no more than 12%, except for the final assessment, which may contribute a maximum of 25%. These rules imply that there should be at least 4 (four) assessments for semester modules, or at least 2 (two) assessments per term in cases where the provisions of par. 8.4.9 apply, and at least 8 (eight) assessment for year modules. 8.4.4 Each student shall be kept regularly informed about his progress. 8.4.5 Students shall receive the result of the first assessment within 5 (five) weeks after the start of the module. 8.4.6 Any department wishing to make use of a system of continuous assessment shall, by means of a report via its faculty board, fully apprise Senate of the basis on which such department proposes to calculate the final mark(s) concerned. (The Executive Committee of Senate may refer the said report back to the department if in its opinion the proposed basis of calculation is inadequate.) 8.4.7 The method of calculating their final marks shall be communicated to students in writing at the start of the semester by means of the module framework. 8.4.8 The official first examination period shall, subject to par. 8.4.9 below, always be used for an assessment. 8.4.9 Where the classes for a semester module that is examined by continuous assessment are concluded in the first of the two terms of the semester concerned, the final assessment may be scheduled to take place shortly after the conclusion of such classes. This rule is subject to the provisions of the relevant mid-semester test programme. The existing system of test and examination timetables shall remain in operation, provided that supplementary tests for the purpose of continuous assessment shall be conducted during formal contact occasions only. 8.4.10 The lectures in undergraduate modules taught by continuous assessment shall cease on the same date as the University‟s formal lectures. 8.4.11 In modules taught by continuous assessment, there shall be: 8.4.11.1 no assessments during the second examinations in June and November/December; and 8.4.11.2 no external re-marks. Students who believe that their final mark has been calculated incorrectly shall be allowed, on payment of a deposit of R40, to apply to the Registrar in writing for a thorough recalculation of their final mark in the relevant module by the department concerned. Applications accompanied by the above-mentioned deposit shall reach the Registrar no

160

General

later than the Friday of the first week of classes of the semester following the particular examination period. 8.5 Rules with respect to flexible assessment of modules At the start of 2012, Stellenbosch University launched a pilot project, in which certain modules make use of flexible assessment. As this is a pilot project, flexible assessment is not yet indicated in all the faculty Calendar parts as assessment option. Flexible assessment may therefore be used in some modules in contrast to what is indicated in the faculty Calendar parts concerned. In all such cases, the faculty concerned shall obtain permission beforehand, the assessment method, including how the final mark is to be calculated, shall be indicated in the module framework or study guide of the module concerned, and the rules with respect to flexible assessment as set out below shall be followed. The stipulations of paragraphs 8.3.4 and 8.3.5 above apply to modules that use flexible assessment. In addition, the following rules for flexible assessment in modules apply for the purposes of determining a final mark: 8.5.1 No formal class mark is obtained. Only a final mark is entered into the University‟s central computer systems on the prescribed submission date for final marks. 8.5.2 The final mark is based on assessment of students‟ work during various assessment opportunities, distributed over the semester(s) of the module, and by means of more than one assessment method, for example an assignment, test, portfolio, oral, laboratory investigation, seminar, tutorial, project report, etc., depending on the requirements specific to the module. 8.5.3 A final mark of below 50 may be awarded to students who have not participated in the predetermined number of assessment opportunities. 8.5.4 A final mark of below 50 may be awarded to students who have failed to meet other requirements as contained in the module framework or study guide, including performance below the minimum level, for certain assessment opportunities. 8.5.5 The ratio or weight of the mark awarded for each of the different assessment opportunities shall be determined beforehand, and students shall be informed of this in the module framework or study guide. 8.5.6 Students should receive regular feedback on their progress. 8.5.7 Students shall receive the results of the first assessment opportunity within five weeks after commencement of the module.

161

General

8.5.8 The official first examination period shall always be used for an assessment opportunity. 8.5.9 In terms of the Rules for Internal and External Moderation, assessment tasks and assessment products representing at least 50% of the performance mark shall be moderated. 8.5.10 In modules in which flexible assessment is used there is no external re-evaluation of marks. Students who are of the opinion that their performance marks have been calculated incorrectly can, however, upon payment of a R50 deposit, apply in writing to the Registrar to have their performance mark in the specific module carefully recalculated by the department in question. Applications accompanied by the above-mentioned deposit shall reach the Registrar by no later than the Friday of the first week of classes in the semester following the exam period in question. 8.5.11 To change the method of assessment in a module, application shall be made to the Centre for Teaching and Learning. 8.6 Rules for the reassessment of modules Certain modules in the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences are subject to a system of reassessment. Consult Part 12 of the University Calendar (Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences) in this regard. 8.7 General rules for Honours and Master’s programmes 8.7.1 In the case of Honours and Master‟s programmes, only a single, weighted final mark, rounded off to an integer, as calculated and awarded by the academic department concerned, shall be entered into the central computer system of the University to determine whether the student fails the programme, passes the programme or passes the programme with distinction, with particular care being exercised in any borderline instances that involve a pass or a pass with distinction. The final marks for all postgraduate modules are entered by the departments into the central computer system of the University and contribute proportionally, in terms of the credit weighting, to the single, weighted final mark for the programme. In order to obtain an overall pass mark for a postgraduate programme, all submodules of the programme concerned must be passed, i.e. a final mark of at least 50 must be achieved in each. 8.7.2 Honours and Master‟s examinations in modules of the second semester and in year modules shall as a rule be conducted during the November examinations, but departments shall be at liberty to conduct an examination at the start of the next year, provided that such examination shall be complete before the end of January.

162

General

8.8 Extra time for writing tests and examinations Applications from individual students to be allowed extra time to write tests and examinations should be submitted well in advance to the Centre for Student Counselling and Development, preferably as early as during the first year of study of the student, although in all cases, with a view to the examinations, before 1 May for the June examinations and before 1 October for the November examinations. The requirement is that substantiating documentation accompany the application. 8.9 Scheduling of tests Normally, no centrally scheduled test dates will be allocated to undergraduate modules in the final two weeks of a semester, with the exception of cases where it unavoidably becomes necessary because of (i) the number of undergraduate modules in a faculty, (ii) the placement of public holidays in the calendar of a specific year, (iii) the method of presentation of a specific module, or (iv) other unforeseen circumstances. An effort will be made in these cases, as far as is possible, to at least prevent any centrally scheduled test dates from being allocated to the final week of a semester, unless the method of presentation of a specific module justifies an assessment opportunity being scheduled for the final week and it is feasible. 8.10 Deregistration of modules after early assessment If a student does not write the early-assessment test in a specific module or makes the necessary arrangements to write such test later, the student‟s registration for the module will be cancelled by the faculty secretary concerned, on the recommendation of the department concerned. This entails that the module concerned will be removed from the student‟s student record and that the student will be informed by e-mail only of the deregistration.

HIGHER DEGREES 1. CHANGING FROM ONE SUBJECT/FIELD OF STUDY TO ANOTHER 1.1 General In the absence of clear provisions or directives in the University Calendar, the following provisions shall apply: 1.1.1 A student who has obtained an Honours degree in a particular subject/field of study may be admitted to a Master‟s programme in another subject/field of study, provided that he shall for obtaining his first Bachelor‟s degree have taken such other subject/field of study as a major subject, and provided further that the subject/field of study of the proposed Master‟s programme shall, in the opinion of the faculty board concerned, be sufficiently closely related to the subject/field of study taken for the said Honours degree. In the case of any change from one field of study to another, due account shall be taken of the presumption that (on the thesis approach) a candidate‟s studies at the Master‟s level are to entail greater depth and/or breadth relative to his previous training. 1.1.2 In the case of the Doctorate (the degree of Doctor), the acceptability or otherwise of a change in registration from one subject/field of study to another shall be judged by Senate on an ad hoc basis, provided that it shall be borne in mind to what extent the designation of the degree eventually conferred may be misleading from an employer‟s point of view, and that every possible effort shall be made to ensure that any Doctorate is awarded to a student in that subject/field of study in which he obtained prior postgraduate degrees. 1.1.3 That, in cases where Master‟s and doctoral students wish to register for qualifications in a different faculty than that in which they undertook their undergraduate studies, it would be permissible to deviate from the historical convention at the University, namely that students should register for advanced degrees in the faculty in which their earlier qualification(s) was(were) obtained, and that postgraduate students henceforth may register in the faculty of the department that will supervise the study for the advanced degree. Under exceptional circumstances, if motivated and recommended by a faculty board, a student may in fact be permitted by Senate to register for (an) advanced degree(s) in the faculty in which the student‟s earlier qualification(s) was(were) obtained.

164

General

1.2 Conversion from Master’s to Doctorate The following rules shall be applicable to the conversion of a student‟s registration for a Master‟s degree to a Doctorate: That, in deserving cases, and with due regard to the best interests of the student concerned, the conversion of a registration for the degree of Master requiring a thesis into a registration for the Doctorate may be considered and recommended by the board of the relevant faculty, provided that: 1.2.1 the student shall have shown exceptional progress with his research (registration for the Doctorate after not less than one year‟s registration for the Master‟s study) and shall have applied for the conversion not later than during the third year of registration for the Master‟s study; 1.2.2 in the course of the work done for the Master‟s study concerned there shall have emerged new and original insights which warrant further inquiry at the Doctoral level; 1.2.3 the work done for the Master‟s study concerned shall have been such that it exceeds the conventional Master‟s study in scope and justifies further investigation at the Doctoral level; 1.2.4 the results of the work done for the Master‟s study concerned shall preferably already have been accepted for publication in a learned journal of high quality, although this is not a prerequisite; 1.2.5 the proposal for such conversion shall be initiated by the supervisor, who shall make a request to the departmental chairperson. If the chairperson supports the request, he shall direct the request to the dean. (Where the supervisor is himself the departmental chair, he shall make the request to the dean direct.) The dean shall appoint a committee of three or four members whose subject expertise equips them to judge the request. One of the members shall preferably not be a member of the Stellenbosch University staff. The student, after consultation with the supervisor, shall compile a brief report containing (i) a report of the progress made with the Master‟s study and (ii) a submission on the proposed Doctoral study, consisting of, among others, a detailed protocol containing full information on the hypothesis(es), literature review, material for and technique of the study, viability and ethical implications of the study. The committee shall consider the report and make a recommendation for consideration by the faculty board; 1.2.6 before the Doctorate may be awarded to the student, he shall have been registered for the degrees of Master and Doctor jointly for a total of not less than three years where the Master‟s is taken directly after an Honours or a four-year career-oriented Bachelor‟s, and for a total of not less than four years where the Master‟s is taken directly after a Bachelor‟s (while there may still be students registered for such two-year degrees of Master‟s that are

165

General

being phased out), including, in both instances, not less than one year for the Doctorate; 1.2.7 in cases where written examinations are required for the Master‟s study in question, all such examinations shall have been taken and passed by the student before the Doctorate may be awarded to him; 1.2.8 the conversion shall always only take place at the start of a new academic year, that is to say in February; and 1.2.9 the student‟s tuition fees shall not be retrospectively adjusted after the conversion.

2. THE DEGREE OF BACHELOR HONOURS 2.1 Statutory requirements The University may confer a degree of Bachelor Honours upon a student if he has been registered as a student of the University for not less than one year since the primary degree of Bachelor as approved by Senate for such purpose was awarded to him. 2.2 Admission Every prospective student for the degree of Bachelor Honours shall make application in writing for admission to the required study. 2.3 Further requirements See the respective faculties‟ parts of the University Calendar.

3. THE DEGREE OF BACHELOR OF EDUCATION HONOURS (BEdHons) 3.1 Statutory requirements The University may confer the degree of Bachelor of Education Honours upon a student if, subsequent to his first registration as a matriculated student of the University, such student has completed for such degree a period of attendance of not less than five years, provided that such student shall in addition satisfy one of the requirements stated below: 3.1.1 The degree of Bachelor of Arts or of Science or some other degree accepted by Senate as equivalent thereto, and also an approved diploma or certificate of Education, shall have been awarded to such student not less than one year prior to the aforesaid period of attendance; or 3.1.2 Recognised four-year post-secondary training, including a professional teaching qualification, and the successful completion of supplementary study

166

General

in Education, if deemed necessary, provided that candidates shall moreover be subject to selection prior to admission. 3.2 Further requirements Consult the Calendar part of the Faculty of Education (Part 6 of the University Calendar).

4. THE DEGREE OF BACHELOR OF LAWS (LLB) 4.1 Statutory requirements The University may confer the degree of Bachelor of Laws upon a student if, subsequent to his first registration as a matriculated student of the University, he has completed for such degree a period of attendance of not less than four years. 4.2 Admission Every prospective student for the degree of Bachelor of Laws shall make application in writing for admission to the prescribed study. Each such application shall be considered on its merits based on a selection process. 4.3 Further requirements Consult the Calendar of the Faculty of Law (Part 8 of the University Calendar).

5. THE DEGREE OF MASTER 5.1 Statutory requirements (Please note: These requirements are based on the new Higher Education Qualifications Framework. However, for some Master‟s programmes it may be necessary to apply earlier rules for a certain period of time as a bridging measure.) 5.1.1 The University may confer the degree of Master upon a student if he has been registered as a student of the University for the degree concerned for not less than one year since the conferment upon him of a four-year Bachelor‟s degree at NQF level 8, or of a Bachelor‟s degree honours, or of a postgraduate diploma, approved by Senate for such purpose; or since his having in some other manner attained a standard of competence in his particular field of study deemed by Senate to be adequate for such purpose, and has met the requirements for a pass for such degree; with the following two exceptions: 5.1.1.1 In the Faculty of Economic and Management Sciences the degree Master of Business Management and Administration may be conferred upon

167

General

a student if he has been registered as a student of the University for the degree concerned for not less than two years since conferment upon him of a Bachelor‟s degree approved by Senate for this purpose; or since having in some other manner attained a standard of competence, in his particular field of study deemed by Senate to be adequate for such purpose, and has met the requirements for a pass for said degree. 5.1.1.2 In the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, the University may confer the degree of Master of Medicine upon a student if a period of not less than four or five years (depending upon his major subject) has elapsed since his first registration for the said degree, provided that such first registration shall have taken place after a period of not less than two years or one year (depending upon his major subject) had elapsed since the conferment upon him by the University of the degree of Bachelor of Medicine and of Bachelor of Surgery, or since his having obtained some other degree or qualification deemed by Senate to be of an adequate standard; and after he has registered with the Health Professions Council of South Africa as a medical practitioner; 5.1.2 Complete admission requirements for all Master‟s programmes are given in the Calendar Part for each faculty. 5.2 Admission

5.2.1 General Prospective candidates for the degree of Master shall apply in writing for admission to the proposed study. The University accepts that each prospective student who is in the employ of an organisation other than the University shall, prior to admission to a programme of study for the degree of Master, obtain his employer‟s permission to register for the said programme of study for the degree of Master.

5.2.2 Publication of theses and research assignments All registered candidates for the degree of Master are subject to the University‟s regulations concerning the publication of theses and research assignments (see also 5.10 below).

5.2.3 Consent as to information from external sources Any person who in his programme of study for the degree of Master intends to make use of information from sources outside the University‟s control shall, prior to admission to such programme, submit - if the University so

168

General

requires - a written statement of the conditions on which the organisation concerned is prepared to permit him to use the said information.

5.2.4 Code of conduct guiding the relationship between supervisor and Master’s student conducting research See par. 7 of this chapter. 5.3 Annual reporting

5.3.1 Candidate’s obligation Any student for the degree of Master shall have an obligation to keep his supervisor informed of how his research is progressing.

5.3.2 Written reports In cases where the supervisor may deem it necessary (as where sustained contact with the student is not possible), he shall have the right to require one or more written reports, as may be necessary, from the student.

5.3.3 Departmental reports Departments shall report to the faculty annually on the progress of students engaged in research for degree purposes.

5.3.4 Reminder by the dean Where a department‟s annual report shows that a student is not making satisfactory progress, or has failed to report on his progress or lack thereof, the dean shall in a formal letter remind such student of his above-said obligation. 5.4 General provisions for Master’s research assignments and Master’s theses The following general rules and requirements apply to Master‟s research assignments and Master‟s theses:

5.4.1 The only recognised terminology for thesis/research assignment The terms „thesis‟ and „research assignment‟ shall be the only officially recognised terms for referring to the product of research for Master‟s studies. In cases where study is prescribed in addition to a treatise and the treatise (including the oral presentation thereon) contributes a weight of 50% or more of the final mark, the treatise shall be referred to as a „thesis‟ and shall be dealt with as such; in contrast, a treatise shall be referred to as a „research assignment‟ if it (including the oral presentation thereon) contributes less than 50% of the final mark. The research assignment may not be weighted

169

General

less than one third of the Master‟s studies, and consequently of the final mark. All theses are required to be submitted electronically for forwarding to the JS Gericke Library once they have been examined and before graduation (see par. 5.6 and 5.7 below).

5.4.2

Faculty-specific provisions

Besides the provisions made and the requirements laid down in this Part of the University Calendar, a faculty may have specific provisions and requirements of its own for Master‟s research assignments and Master‟s theses. Such further faculty-specific provisions and requirements, if any, are set out in the appropriate faculty‟s Part of the University Calendar and/or its manual “Guidelines for Postgraduate Training”, should a faculty have such a document. Consult the various faculty secretaries in Block A of the Central Administration Building in this regard.

5.4.3 Master’s degree subsequent to Honours The Master‟s degree subsequent to the Honours degree or postgraduate diploma, of which the minimum period of residence is one year, may be awarded on the basis of a thesis or a research assignment, plus postgraduate modules and, if necessary, such additional study as a particular department may prescribe. See par. 5.6.7 for information on the oral presentation.

5.4.3.1 Master’s degree by thesis In cases where only a thesis is required, and no additional postgraduate submodules, the final mark for the Master‟s degree shall be determined on the basis of the thesis and of an oral presentation.

5.4.3.2 Master’s degree on the basis of additional study and a thesis In cases where additional study in the form of postgraduate modules and, depending on the situation, possibly also undergraduate modules and/or additional reading/assignments and a thesis are prescribed, the thesis (including the oral presentation thereon) shall amount to a weight of not less than 50% of the final mark.

5.4.3.3 Master’s degree on the basis of additional study and an assignment In cases where additional study in the form of postgraduate modules and, depending on the situation, possibly also undergraduate modules and/or additional reading/assignments and a research assignment are prescribed, the assignment (including the oral presentation thereon) shall amount to a weight of less than 50% of the final mark but to no less than one third of the final mark.

5.5 Supervisor/co-supervisor(s), examiners and moderators

5.5.1 Definitions 5.5.1.1 Internal and external A person is internal if he is an employee of Stellenbosch University. A person is external if he is not an employee of Stellenbosch University, provided that professors extraordinary and honorary professors of the University do not qualify to be nominated as external examiners, but may be appointed as internal examiners and remunerated as such.

5.5.1.2 Unattached A person is unattached if he has not been involved in the elaboration of the thesis in question.

5.5.1.3 Examiners and moderators The examiners are the unattached persons who are involved in the examination of a Master‟s programme where a thesis (see par. 5.4.1 for the definition of a thesis) is required. (See also par. 5.5.3 in this regard.) In the case of a Master‟s programme for which theoretical modules and a research assignment(s) is/are required, the term „moderators‟ is used instead of „examiners‟, and the nomination of moderators and the assessment of modules and research assignments is done according to the “Rules for Internal and External Moderation”, which are available on the website of the Institutional Research and Planning Division. In the case of a Master‟s programme where theory modules and a thesis are required, the theory modules are assessed by a moderator or moderators and the thesis by examiners.

5.5.1.4 Supervisor’s report The supervisor, and where applicable also the co-supervisor(s), compiles a report in order to provide the assessment panel that has to assess the examiners‟ reports (see par. 5.6.6) with insight into the course of the process that culminated in the production of the thesis. The following aspects could be included in the report: The context in which the study was undertaken; The methodological setup according to which the study was undertaken and within which the study should be assessed; To what extent the student worked independently; Problems experienced by the student with regard to the collection of information;

171

General

Any other aspect that could have implications for the final assessment of and allocation of a mark for the thesis, particularly if a pass with distinction is a possibility.

5.5.2 Supervisor(s) and co-supervisor(s) When a student is admitted to a Master‟s programme, the department concerned must appoint a supervisor for the student. The supervisor for a Master‟s thesis need not be a member of the University‟s staff, provided that, if he is not, there shall be a co-supervisor who is a member of the University‟s staff. If the supervisor is a member of the University‟s staff, either another such member or an external person may be appointed cosupervisor, if a co-supervisor is required for the study. The supervisor/co-supervisor(s) do not act as examiners of a Master‟s thesis. They do, however, submit a supervisor‟s report (see par. 5.5.1.4) and participate in an elucidatory capacity in the discussions of the assessment panel (see par. 5.6.6) and during the oral presentation (see par. 5.6.7).

5.5.3 Examiners There shall be at least two examiners for a Master‟s thesis. The examiners shall consist of an unattached internal examiner and an unattached external examiner, or alternatively of two unattached external examiners, if the faculty board finds the latter option acceptable. The examiners shall be appointed by the faculty board on the recommendation of the department concerned. The names of the examiners shall be submitted, simultaneously and well ahead of time, via the departmental chair in consultation with the internal supervisor or, in the case of an external supervisor, with the internal co-supervisor, to the relevant faculty board for approval. The faculty board reports the appointments to Senate by means of the Communicative Reports, which shall include the name(s) of the supervisor and of the co-supervisor(s), where applicable. Each examiner submits a report on the thesis as specified in the relevant faculty-specific guidelines for the examiners of Master‟s theses. Candidates for the degree of Master shall under no circumstances communicate with the unattached examiners about their theses. 5.6 Examination (excluding MMed)

5.6.1 Number of copies for examination When candidates present themselves for examination, they shall lodge with their faculty one loose-leaf copy and/or electronic copy, depending on what the individual supervisor(s)/examiners concerned prefer, of their thesis for each of the supervisor/co-supervisor(s) and examiners concerned. If the

172

General

external examiner(s) prefer a hard copy(ies), the copy(ies) for the external examiner(s) shall be sent at the candidate‟s expense.

5.6.2 Technical requirements for copies Both the typing and the title page of the above-said copies for examination shall comply with the requirements set forth in par. 5.7 below.

5.6.3 Illustrations If a thesis contains illustrations (maps, drawings, etc.), the supervisor and examiners may require one copy with original illustrations to be submitted.

5.6.4 Faculty-specific procedures Every candidate should acquaint himself with the faculty-specific procedures for the submission of an research assignment or thesis for examination. Such procedures are set out in the faculty‟s Part of the University Calendar and/or in the faculty‟s manual „Guidelines for Postgraduate Training‟, where the faculty has such a document. Consult the relevant faculty secretary in Block A of the Central Administration Building in this regard.

5.6.5 Closing dates for submission for examination In order to enable the examination process to be completed on time, the requisite number of copies of an research assignment or thesis shall, subject to faculty-specific provisions (see par. 5.6.4 above), be submitted for examination as follows: 5.6.5.1 with a view to the December graduation ceremonies, prior to 1 September; and 5.6.5.2 with a view to the March graduation ceremonies, prior to 1 November.

5.6.6 Dealing with the reports of the examiners The reports of the examiners and the report of the supervisor/co-supervisor(s) (see par. 5.5.1.4) for the definition of a supervisor‟s report) are dealt with by an assessment panel, which is appointed, and by means of a procedure, as determined by the board of each faculty. The supervisor, and/or cosupervisor(s) where applicable, is/are normally involved in an elucidatory capacity, but is/are not members of the assessment panel, and the final decision is reached in the absence of the supervisor(s). The supervisor‟s report is only made available after the examiners have submitted their own reports, including recommendations regarding the final mark to be allocated.

5.6.7 Oral presentation Every Master‟s candidate shall deliver an oral presentation, with the exception where a department, with the approval of the faculty board concerned, or its delegate, views an oral presentation as unnecessary.

173

General

The oral presentation may deal with the thesis or research assignment, or with the candidate‟s knowledge of the subject in general, or with both of these topics. The oral presentation shall normally be attended by at least the members of the assessment panel, the available examiners/moderators, the supervisor, and the co-supervisor(s) where applicable.

5.6.8 Determining the final mark for a thesis/Master’s programme When the assessment panel determines the final mark for a thesis/Master‟s programme of a candidate, account shall be taken of the following marks: the marks allocated for the thesis by the internal and external examiners; the oral presentation, if applicable; and the marks allocated for theoretical modules, where applicable. Account shall also be taken of the supervisor‟s report. The dean should ensure that the examiners and supervisor(s) receive written feedback on the result. Each faculty board determines its own mechanism for dealing with possible disputes. 5.7 Provisions as to the format, final submission, duplication and binding of Master’s theses (excluding MMed) AFRICAN SUN MEDIA Facilities for the duplication and binding of theses are available on the campus. Full information about these may be had from AFRICAN SUN MeDIA in Block A (ABA 1081) of the Central Administration Building, as well as from www.africansunmedia.co.za.

5.7.1 Product to be submitted Every Master‟s thesis shall be required to be submitted electronically for forwarding to the JS Gericke Library. (See par. 5.4.1 earlier in this chapter for the definition of a Master‟s thesis.) A candidate whose thesis is awarded at least a pass mark on examination must thereafter ensure that the text complies with all the applicable requirement as contained in this section (5.7). Only then may the supervisor/co-supervisor certify the text to be final. A text that complies with the requirements and has been certified as such is known as “the master copy for submission”.

Each such application shall, on the recommendation of the board of the relevant faculty, be considered by Senate. The University accepts that each prospective student who is in the employ of an organisation other than the University shall, prior to admission to a programme of study for the degree of Doctor, obtain his employer‟s permission to register for said programme of study for the degree of Doctor. A student who in his programme of study for the degree of Doctor intends to make use of information from sources outside the University‟s control shall, prior to admission to such programme, submit - if the University so requires a written statement of the conditions on which the organisation concerned is prepared to permit him to use said information. Further specific details of admission in relation to Doctorates are set out in each faculty‟s Part of the Calendar.

General

Also see the code of conduct guiding the relationship between the supervisor and the Doctoral student in par. 7 later in this chapter. 6.3 Attendance (residence) The prescribed requirements regarding attendance (residence) shall be as set forth in 6.1 above, provided that any candidates who carry out research for the degree of Doctor at some other place 6.3.1 shall in good time discuss their proposed study and research with the supervisor, in order that their competence and the scope of their proposed research may be determined; 6.3.2 shall undertake to discuss their research with their supervisor from time to time to the supervisor‟s satisfaction; and 6.3.3 shall, if the promotor so requires, conduct part of their research at Stellenbosch. 6.4 Annual reporting The requirements regarding annual reporting that are applicable to Master‟s students, as set out in par. 5.3 above, are also applicable mutatis mutandis to Doctoral students. 6.5 Supervisor/co-supervisor(s) When a student is admitted to Doctoral study, the department concerned must appoint a supervisor for the student. If necessary, (a) co-supervisor(s) may also be appointed. The supervisor and, where necessary, co-supervisor(s) of a Doctoral candidate are appointed by Senate on the recommendation of a faculty board. The supervisor need not be a member of the University‟s staff. If he is not, there shall however be appointed a co-supervisor who is a member of the University‟s staff. If the supervisor is a member of the University‟s staff, either another lecturer at the University or a person external to the University may be appointed co-supervisor. The supervisor, and co-supervisor(s) where relevant, do not act as examiners of the dissertation and do not submit reports on the dissertation. He/they do(es), however, participate in the oral examination. 6.6 Examiners 6.6.1 There shall be at least three examiners of any dissertation, and they shall be appointed by Senate on the recommendation of a faculty board. Such panel of examiners shall consist of three unattached examiners, of which at least two should be external examiners. A person is external if he is not an employee of the University. For the purposes of examination, professors

185

General

extraordinary and honorary professors of the University do not qualify as external examiners, but may be appointed as internal examiners and remunerated as such. If the supervisor is a lecturer at the University, he shall well in advance of time submit the names of the other examiners to the relevant faculty board via the chair of the department concerned; otherwise the internal cosupervisor shall do so. The faculty board recommends the panel of examiners to Senate for confirmation, including the name(s) of the supervisor and of the co-supervisor(s), where applicable. 6.6.2 Each of the examiners (both external and internal) shall submit a written, signed report on the dissertation as specified in the relevant facultyspecific guidelines for the examiners of Doctoral dissertations. The reports are taken under review by an unattached panel, which is appointed in terms of a procedure determined by each faculty board and which shall include the available examiners, with a view to the submission of a recommendation to the relevant faculty board. Such board considers the recommendation for the purpose of making a submission of a final report to Senate. The supervisor and co-supervisor(s), where applicable, are not decisionmaking members of the above-mentioned unattached panel, but may be called in for elucidation. 6.6.3 No candidate for the degree of Doctor shall in any circumstances communicate with his unattached examiners in connection with his dissertation. 6.7 Dissertation requirements The regulations in Section 6.7 are applicable to all dissertations in all the faculties of the University. Further faculty-specific regulations – that may not clash with these general regulations – are contained in the faculties‟ parts of the Calendar. 6.7.1 Every candidate for the degree of Doctor shall be required to produce a dissertation. 6.7.2 A dissertation is the report on research done under supervision on one central and coherent research problem. 6.7.3 A dissertation as a whole is examined as a single work. 6.7.4 Only work that has been done by the candidate himself shall be included in a dissertation, provided that 6.7.4.1 a general declaration shall be included at the front of the dissertation that confirms this (see par. 6.9.5.4 further on for placement and wording of the declaration), and

186

General

6.7.4.2 if articles are included in a dissertation (regardless of whether or not they have already been published, been accepted for publication or have been finalised with a view to submission for publication), a statement with regard to each article shall be included in the dissertation in which the contribution of the candidate is indicated. Such statements shall be in the attached format, as specified in par. 6.7.15. 6.7.5 Dissertations may be submitted in one of the following formats: 6.7.5.1 An introduction, followed by a number of chapters, followed by a summary of the research results that indicates the scientific contribution of the study. 6.7.5.2 An introduction, followed by either (i) a number of published and/or unpublished articles or (ii) a combination of chapters and published and/or unpublished articles, followed by a summary of the research results that indicates the scientific contribution of the study, provided that only articles that originated after the student registered for the Doctoral study may be used, or, if a Master‟s study is converted to a Doctoral study, only articles that originated after the student registered for that particular Master‟s degree. 6.7.5.3 An introduction, followed by either (i) a number of chapters, or (ii) a combination of chapters and published and/or unpublished articles, of which one or more of the sub-parts of the integrated and cohesive whole may take the form of a creative output, followed by a summary of the research results that indicate the scientific contribution of the study, provided that only articles and creative outputs that originated after the student registered for the Doctoral study may be used, or, if a Master‟s study is converted to a Doctoral study, only articles that originated after the student registered for that particular Master‟s degree. 6.7.5.4 In the case of advanced (senior) Doctorates, an introduction, followed by a number of published articles, followed by a summary of the research results that indicate the scientific contribution of the study, provided that, in the case of senior Doctorates, articles and other research outputs may also be used that originated before the student registered for the Doctoral study. 6.7.6 When published material is used as part of the dissertation, candidates are responsible for ensuring that it is used in a lawful manner, taking into consideration the candidate‟s own as well as any third party‟s/parties‟ copyright. If a candidate therefore wishes to publish certain material in the course of his Doctoral research, it is essential that the candidate shall ensure that it does not infringe upon his right to use it in the dissertation and to publish the completed dissertation via the University‟s SunScholar. The University shall be under no obligation to institute any legal steps on behalf of the candidate, or of any third party(ies), should intellectual property

187

General

rights, or any other right, be infringed with respect to the submitted or published dissertation. 6.7.7 Candidates shall remain in constant touch with their supervisor, and shall at a frequency of not less than once in every six months report to him the amount of progress they have made with their research, otherwise the approval of the topic for the dissertation and of the study for the degree of Doctor may be suspended. 6.7.8 The dissertation shall reflect original research by candidates into one central and cohesive problem. Candidates shall have submitted the said research previously to any university for the purpose of obtaining a degree. 6.7.9 On receipt of a recommendation from the faculty board, the topic of the dissertation shall be subject to approval by Senate, provided that a candidate may be registered for one year without an approved dissertation topic for the doctoral programme concerned, on the condition that a dissertation topic shall be submitted to the faculty board for a recommendation to Senate no later than the end of the first full year of registration for the doctoral programme concerned. A candidate who does not comply with this regulation will be denied any further registration for the programme. 6.7.10 Candidates shall not submit their dissertation for examination until they have been granted written, or if preferred by the supervisor, oral permission to do so from the supervisor. Written or oral permission shall not necessarily imply that the supervisor approves the dissertation. 6.7.11 Candidates may submit their dissertation for examination at any time during the academic year, subject to permission being obtained from the supervisor. 6.7.12 The dissertation shall be assessed by the approved examiners and for this purpose, when any candidate for the degree of Doctor presents himself for examination, one loose-leaf hard copy and/or one electronic copy, depending on the preference of the examiner concerned, of his dissertation in final form for each of the examiners shall be submitted to his faculty, provided that, subject to such provisions as may be specific to any one faculty (the relevant faculty secretary should be consulted in this regard), such copies shall be so deposited before 1 September if the candidate wishes to graduate in December, and before 1 November if he wishes to graduate in March. The said copies shall be despatched at the candidate‟s expense in the case of examiners who prefer a bound hard copy. (See also 6.7.14 with regard to submitting dissertations for examination.) 6.7.13 Both the style and formatting of the title page of said copies for examination shall comply with the requirements set out in par. 6.9 below. A candidate whose examination results for his Doctorate have been approved

188

General

shall then have to ensure that the text of the dissertation meets all the requirements set out in par. 6.9 below. Only then may the supervisor certify the text as final. A text that complies with the requirements shall be known as the „master copy for submission‟. 6.7.14 In instances where a dissertation contains illustrations (maps, drawings, etc.), the supervisor/co-supervisor(s) and examiners may require one copy with original illustrations to be submitted. 6.7.15 Declaration with regard to parts of the dissertation in which, in addition to the candidate, other authors were involved (see also 6.7.4.2 for an explanation for this declaration): Declaration by the candidate: With regard to [specify chapter or part of a chapter and page numbers in the dissertation], the nature and scope of my contribution were as follows: Extent of contribution (%)

If the external examiner cannot be present, he may conduct a supplementary oral examination. External examiners may be brought to Stellenbosch, at the University‟s expense, from within the borders of South Africa for the purpose of the oral examination, but are not transported to Stellenbosch at University expense from beyond South Africa‟s borders. 6.9 Provisions as to the format, final submission, duplication and binding of Doctoral dissertations AFRICAN SUN MEDIA Facilities for the duplication and binding of theses are available on the campus.

(e.g. Science) in the Faculty of (name of Faculty) at Stellenbosch University. Supervisor:…”; or “Proefskrif goedgekeur vir die graad Doktor in ………. (bv. die Natuurwetenskappe) in die Fakulteit (name of Faculty) aan die Universiteit Stellenbosch. Supervisor:…”. The title page shall also show the year and date of submission. If, in the opinion of the supervisor a dissertation, as published, has been substantially altered, the above-mentioned set wording for the title page shall be replaced by a suitable mention in the preface. 6.12 Sensitive dissertations and theses

6.12.1 General The University takes the view that, in the interest of the advancement of learning, any research results submitted for the purpose of obtaining an academic degree must in general be made known, but that exceptional cases do arise in which the research results involved cannot be made known in the usual manner. The University takes this view on the clear understanding, however, that the number of such exceptional cases and also the period of classification to which they are subject are both to be restricted to a minimum. In line with the view expressed above, chairpersons of departments and supervisors/supervisors shall in the application phase: 6.12.1.1 endeavour to establish definitively whether the thesis or dissertation in question is at all likely to involve any classification/secrecy, particularly in the case of Master‟s degrees, which - unlike Doctorates - normally do not follow the route of faculty committees or special committees; 6.12.1.2 consider with great care to what extent it will be possible to deal with the dissertation or thesis in such a manner that it can be accommodated without the identification of sources of information and thus without the need for classification/secrecy.

6.12.2 Procedure with regard to sensitive dissertations/theses 6.12.2.1 In the case of classified dissertations and theses that involve commercial confidentiality, the following shall apply:

196

General

6.12.2.1.1 Where it bears on information which is available by courtesy of some organisation, but which is being treated as confidential, a dissertation or thesis shall be examined and approved according to the normal procedure. 6.12.2.1.2 As to the making available for general access and dissemination of such dissertation or thesis, it shall be submitted to the JS Gericke Library in the standard electronic format, and the number of bound copies that may be required shall be produced, but shall not be made available or distributed for general access immediately. 6.12.2.1.3 Unless the dissertation or thesis is declassified earlier by the institution involved, the said electronic product and bound copies shall be stored in the Security Department of the Library for a maximum period of three years, whereafter they shall be declassified and made available for general access, with the permission of all parties involved. 6.12.2.2 In the case of classified dissertations and theses that are of security interest, the following shall apply: 6.12.2.2. The dean of the relevant faculty, acting at the request of the supervisor/co-supervisor/supervisor/co-supervisor via the departmental chairperson concerned, shall, prior to the meeting at which the faculty board is to consider the Doctoral candidate‟s admission to the proposed study, or during the admission of a Master‟s candidate to a particular programme, specify in a submission to the Executive Committee (Senate) what the limited access required in regard to such dissertation or thesis involves in terms of the nature, degree and duration, thus providing the Executive Committee (Senate) with a basis on which to decide whether such dissertation or thesis is to be dealt with in accordance with the following guidelines: 6.12.2.2.1.1 No sensitive aspects of the topic of such dissertation or thesis shall be mentioned in the documents of the relevant faculty or of Senate or be made known in any other manner. 6.12.2.2.1.2 If the research being conducted is local to this University, the procedure described below shall be followed for the examination and storage of copies: 6.12.2.2.1.2.1 All duplication and binding for examination purposes shall be under strict supervision. 6.12.2.2.1.2.2 The electronic master copy/copies for the JS Gericke Library shall be submitted in the standard fashion, and shall be stored in the Security Department of the Library, i.e. it/they shall not be made available for general access.

197

General

6.12.2.2.1.2.3 The University and the interested external party shall jointly determine whether the bound copies required in the normal course of events are or are not to be made at the time of the candidate‟s qualifying for the degree. 6.12.2.2.1.2.4 If it is agreed that the above-mentioned duplication is permissible, the bound copies together with the electronic master copy shall be stored in the Security Department of the Library until such time as permission for declassification has been obtained and normal provision and distribution become possible, provided that only persons with the appropriate authorisation shall have access to and control over the Security Department of the Library. 6.12.2.2.1.3 In instances in which the research is not being conducted locally, the dean concerned shall submit to the Executive Committee (Senate) particulars of the duplication, of the place of examination, and of the storage of copies and of the master copy/copies. 6.12.2.3 The conditions approved by the Executive Committee (Senate) for the handling of each instance of the aforesaid nature shall for record purposes be put into writing by the Registrar for safekeeping, without any report to Senate concerning such conditions. 6.12.2.4 Dissertation topics, the names of supervisor/co-supervisor(s) and examiners, as well as examination results, shall be submitted in accordance with the normal procedure.

7. CODE OF CONDUCT GUIDING THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE SUPERVISOR AND STUDENT The following set of guidelines is presented as a code of conduct to ensure that the relationship between a supervisor and a postgraduate student, engaged in research for a degree, is conducive to successful studies at the University: 1. The candidate undertakes to stay informed of the infrastructure and the accompanying rules of the department concerned (with the requisite inputs from the supervisor). 2. The University undertakes not to select a candidate for a specific project without confirming beforehand in writing with the faculty concerned that the project may be undertaken. Specifics regarding the responsibility for the required funds and relevant infrastructure shall be indicated.

POLICY MATTERS 1. POLICY ON ALCOHOL AND SUBSTANCE ABUSE 1.1 Policy

1.1.1 Points of departure The Stellenbosch University policy on alcohol and other substance abuse supports and supplements existing applicable legislation and University directives, namely the Disciplinary Code for Students and the Rules for University Residences. In pursuance of Stellenbosch University‟s vision to be an institution of academic excellence, the policy attempts to maintain a campus culture that preserves the integrity of the University as an educational institution of distinction. Stellenbosch University (SU) notes the damage that alcohol and other substance abuse inflicts on South African society, and in this regard also wishes to make a contribution by actively encouraging students to make responsible and life-enhancing choices regarding the use of alcohol and other substances. The Policy on Alcohol and Substance Abuse reflects the ideal of personal responsibility and mutual respect within the diverse community of students and staff at SU. The University recognises the right of every individual to a voluntary and informed choice to consume alcoholic beverages, in accordance with applicable national, provincial and local legislation, and existing University directives. However, the University is also committed to the promotion of the responsible use of alcohol and the prevention of alcohol abuse. The provision of alcoholic beverages to and their consumption by persons under the age of 18 years are expressly forbidden. In accordance with existing legislation and University directives, the possession, transportation, sale or use of any illegal substance on campus is forbidden.

1.1.2 Aims The Policy on Alcohol and Substance Abuse aims to promote the responsible use of alcohol and to prevent the abuse of alcohol and other substances. The policy further aims to prevent the following conduct: Rowdiness and disturbance of the peace Vandalism and other destructive conduct towards others and self

203

General

The impairment of the human dignity of any person Offensive language or any other form of public obscenity Intimidating conduct or physical violence Any form of sexual harassment or related crimes Any other conduct that may compromise the safety or wellbeing of the individual concerned or of others The driving of any vehicle under the influence of alcohol The refusal to accede to reasonable requests from the University‟s Risk and Protection Services (USBD), any other authorised official of SU or any other legal authority Any conduct that may bring the good name of SU into disrepute In pursuance of these aims, various provisions have been included in the Disciplinary Code for Students and the Rules for University Residences. The University reserves the right to take any acceptable action to make it possible to implement this policy effectively. The excessive use of alcohol or the use of any illegal substances will not be regarded as extenuating circumstances in cases where it leads to the contravention of SU directives. Plan of action

1.2.1 Responsibility of Environments Although the Policy on Alcohol and Substance Abuse applies to all staff of SU, the following environments are instructed to compile and make known plans of action for executing this policy: Centre for Student Affairs Centre for Student Communities (responsible for the Rules for University Residences) Substance Abuse Committee Substance Abuse Community Forum Centre for Student Counselling and Development Stellenbosch University Risk and Protection Services Maties Sport Campus Health Services HIV Coordinating Committee Manager: Student Discipline Students' Representative Council Committee of Head Students (of residences and PSO‟s)

204

General

Societies Council Academic Affairs Council Die Matie

1.2.2 Disciplinary Code for Students The Disciplinary Code for Students of Stellenbosch University contains various provisions regarding the use and abuse of alcohol and other substances by students of the University.

1.2.3 Residence Rules The Stellenbosch University Rules for University Residences contain various provisions that regulate the use and abuse of alcohol by students in University residences.

1.2.4 Substance Abuse Committee The Substance Abuse Committee consists of representatives of the various environments who are responsible for the execution of the plans of action regarding the abuse of alcohol and other substances. The committee: meets at least each term or more often when necessary; gathers information on the patterns of substance abuse on campus; sensitises role players to the dangers of substance and alcohol abuse and dependency; makes policy proposals to the various role players; co-ordinates the review and execution of the substance abuse plan of action; and reports annually to the Dean of Students.

1.2.5 Substance Abuse Community Forum The Substance Abuse Community Forum consists of representatives of the Stellenbosch University Substance Abuse Committee, as well as other role players from the Stellenbosch community at large who have an interest in substance abuse in the student community. These include the South African Police Services, Stellenbosch Traffic, Stellenbosch Municipality, community organisations, representatives of schools in the vicinity, and representatives of health and social services. The Forum meets every semester and discusses substance abuse among students in the context of the broader Stellenbosch community. In this way, important inputs are obtained on the handling of substance abuse in other sectors of the community. The Stellenbosch University policy and the plans of action on alcohol and substance abuse are also communicated to other

205

General

representatives in this way, so that actions in the community may take place in a co-ordinated manner.

1.2.6 Centre for Student Counselling and Development (CSCD) The Centre for Student Counselling and Development contributes to the implementation of the Stellenbosch University Policy on Alcohol and Substance Abuse in the following ways:

1.2.6.1 Gathering of information and making it available Staff of the CSCD serve on the Substance Abuse Committee. The CSCD is responsible for gathering accurate information on the patterns of substance abuse on campus. The CSCD also gathers information on the strategies and programmes used on other university campuses to address alcohol and substance abuse. The CSCD maintains a substance abuse resource centre, which provides relevant information to other role players in the planning and execution of actions regarding alcohol and substance abuse.

1.2.6.2 Therapeutic programmes Confidential and professional treatment programmes are provided to students on campus by the CSCD (Division for Therapy and Personal Development). Should the necessary services not be available on campus, the students concerned will be referred to suitable treatment and rehabilitation centres. The CSCD maintains a network of appropriate aftercare programmes to which students can be referred after the initial period of treatment (e.g. the AA, NA).

1.2.6.3 Preventative and educational programmes In co-operation with the other role players on the Substance Abuse Committee, the CSCD will provide specific programmes for implementing the educational plan of action on alcohol and substance abuse across the campus. Students who contravene the alcohol/substance policy and the provisions of the Rules for Student Rules in this regard will be compelled by the disciplinary committees concerned to participate in counselling programmes on alcohol/substance abuse presented by the CSCD, or to receive other appropriate psychological help. 1.2.6.4 The aims, efficacy and cost effectiveness of all the above-mentioned programmes are evaluated by the CSCD continuously in order to keep abreast of current needs and developments.

General

1.2.7 Stellenbosch University Risk and Protection Services 1.2.7.1 Preventative actions The University‟s Risk and Protection Services (USBD) takes proactive steps by carefully updating statistics on alcohol-related incidents on campus and communicating these statistics to the University community on a continuous basis. This takes place by means of security newsletters and notices to students, the crime barometer in Die Matie, and monthly reports on statistics provided to the Advisory Committee for Student Security (ACSS). Talks at residences are also being planned, in co-operation with the ABBA Network. The Monitoring and Advisory Committee on Crime (MACC), a subcommittee of the Rector-Mayor Forum, meet on a monthly basis to share statistics and discuss focal points and crime prevention methods. The USBD acts as liaison with the SAPS in following up cases dealt with by the SAPS.

1.2.7.2 Interventions A list of aid organisations, rehabilitation centres and outpatient clinics is updated at the USBD offices on a continuous basis, should students and staff require referral. Where students are involved, serious cases are referred to the CSCD.

1.2.7.3 Reactive action USBD assists with the identification and reporting of individuals who contravene the Alcohol Policy, escorting individuals who are unable to ensure their own safety and assisting in the identification of individuals who require counselling and help.

1.2.8 Maties Sport Maties Sport and the different sport codes affiliated to it have certain regulations and directives concerning the abuse of alcohol and other illegal substances (by spectators and participants), and concerning the use of illegal performance-enhancing substances (by participants).

1.2.9 The Students' Representative Council Different projects that are planned and executed by the holders of portfolios of the Students' Representative Council (Student Wellness, Current Social Issues, Critical engagement, Safety, Leadership development, Societies, Publications, e.g. Die Matie) contribute to the prevention of alcohol and substance abuse. Planning must take place in consultation with the Substance Abuse Committee so that actions on campus can take place in a co-ordinated manner.

3. ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS POLICY 3.1 The importance of an electronic communications policy 3.1.1 The use of the University‟s electronic communication facilities is subject to its official Electronic Communications Policy (hereinafter referred to also as „ECP‟) as set out hereunder, and any other relevant policy provisions and procedures, as may be applicable from time to time. If a User does not agree with terms and conditions, he has no right to the use of these

208

General

electronic communication facilities, not even in cases where students are obliged to use these facilities for academic purposes. 3.1.2 By signing this agreement, a User expressly signifies that he – 3.1.2.1 understands the contents of the ECP and agrees to be bound by the provisions thereof; 3.1.2.2 agrees that the electronic communication facilities which at the time of his studies at the University are made available by the University are for the purpose of assisting the University in the performance of its academic, administrative and related functions; 3.1.2.3 is familiar with the provisions of Section 14(d) of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, Act 108 of 1996, which protects the constitutional right to privacy, and that he fully understands these important provisions (the text of Section 14(d) is reproduced in full in Addendum B); and 3.1.2.4 therefore in terms of the above-said Section 14(d) consents to the privacy of such communication being infringed solely to such extent as may be necessitated by the provisions of this ECP. 3.1.3 The policy provisions on electronic communication as contained in this agreement, and as amended from time to time, are by reference incorporated in the set of „Rules for Students of the University‟. 3.2 The electronic communications policy and the right to privacy 3.2.1 The University shall respect the User‟s right to privacy as that right is guaranteed by the Constitution. Yet in the context of the University‟s electronic communication facilities, which are provided for the purpose of the University‟s operational needs, restrictions on the User‟s rights in certain defined circumstances, as herein contained, are nevertheless unavoidable. 3.2.2 All electronic communication facilities owned or controlled by the University shall in principle be accessible to the University at all times for 3.2.2.1 maintenance; 3.2.2.2 upgrades; 3.2.2.3 system-driven monitoring actions aimed at countering or minimising the loss of personal data; and 3.2.2.4 any other lawful operational or related purposes. 3.2.3 Although the University respects the User‟s right to privacy as set out in clause 2.1 above, any personal communication sent, stored or received via the University‟s network may without further notice to the User be monitored, intercepted, refused or inspected by the University in the exercise

209

General

of its responsibility for the operation of electronic communication facilities. The typical reasons for such action may include the following (the list below is not, however, presented as exhaustive): 3.2.3.1 to ensure that the University‟s communications facilities are not being used to receive or transmit content which is of a discriminatory or offensive nature or can be related to the alleged violation of a law or infringement of any other person‟s rights; 3.2.3.2 to determine the presence of illegal material or unlicensed software; 3.2.3.3 to implement system-driven antivirus software; 3.2.3.4 to counteract crime; 3.2.3.5 to ensure that communications facilities are not being used for inappropriate purposes; 3.2.3.6 to respond to legal proceedings that call for producing electronically stored evidence; and 3.2.3.7 to conduct an investigation in connection with alleged misconduct or in terms of other empowering provisions. 3.2.4 The User understands that in certain defined circumstances he shall have no claim to the effect that information transmitted or stored on the University‟s electronic communication facilities is to be or remain confidential, even if such information is being used for personal communication. All electronic communication facilities (and other computer security tools) create an audit log detailing every request for access or transaction in either direction. This information shall be at the University‟s disposal in cases such as those set out in paragraph 2.3. 3.2.5 The User‟s use of the electronic communication facilities shall be tantamount to his express consent to the University, solely in certain defined circumstances, as contained in 2.3 and 3, to monitor all electronic communications and to access all records created, stored or transmitted by means of the said electronic communication facilities. Such consent shall include but not be limited to hard copies of electronic communications. 3.2.6 All monitoring in connection with any alleged violation of (i) a law or policy, (ii) the University‟s set of Rules for Students or (iii) a provision of this agreement shall be subject to prior review and written authorisation by the Head: Legal Services or his nominee. 3.2.7 Any monitoring of the User‟s electronic records in connection with the performance by the Division for Information Technology of its duty to ensure the effective functioning of the University‟s IT infrastructure shall be subject to prior review and written authorisation by the duly delegated official designated for this purpose from time to time.

4. EMPLOYMENT EQUITY POLICY 4.1

Point of departure

Stellenbosch University hereby declares that employment equity is a strategic priority, and that it must be fundamental to the actions of the University as an academic institution. These actions include addressing the inequalities of the past, as well as positioning the University for the future. Employment equity is integrated into the University‟s strategic direction as embodied in the Institutional Plan, the University‟s character as an academic institution, and in particular the way in which staff are managed. It takes place within the framework of sensitivity for the needs of the broader community. The University is of the opinion that current and future challenges can only be met and opportunities be utilised with well-trained and motivated staff. Within the framework of employment equity and in accordance with the values of fairness, participation, transparency, commitment to service, tolerance and mutual respect, dedication, scholarship, responsibility and academic freedom, the University strives to respect the dignity of staff, maintain fair labour practices, communicate openly and honestly, respect the freedom of association of staff, create development opportunities for staff, and provide a safe working environment. Employment equity has the following specific focus areas: the elimination of direct and indirect unfair discrimination;

214

General

the application of affirmative action; the creation of equal opportunities; and the utilisation and management of diversity. 4.2 Policy statement for each focus area

4.2.1 Elimination of unfair discrimination 4.2.1.1 Stellenbosch University is committed to the elimination of all forms of unfair discrimination, be it direct or indirect, in policies, management practices, conditions of employment and labour practices, to establish a working environment where opportunities, dealings with people and expectations are based on practices not related to race, religion, gender, convictions or any arbitrary reasons. 4.2.1.2 Where discrimination does take place, it may only be related to inherent requirements of the position, the implementation of the employment equity plan or other legally permissible justifiable reasons.

4.2.2 Affirmative action 4.2.2.1 Affirmative action is not an objective per se, but a planned process to establish employment equity in the working environment. It is considered to be a temporary measure with clear objectives, aims and time frames with the main objective of establishing equal opportunities and a fair representation of the designated groups in the workplace. 4.2.2.2 Affirmative action requires the implementation of measures to ensure adequate representation of the designated groups in the staff composition. It thus requires the implementation of initiatives such as the staff diversification policy, and training and development programmes, to promote accelerated employment, promotion, and the training and development of suitable people from these groups. 4.2.2.3 A fair representation of the designated groups at all post levels and in all categories will be obtained through the setting of specific, realistic targets. 4.2.2.4 Targets are determined, as far as possible, with reference to the availability of suitable people in those sections of the labour market used by the University to recruit staff, subject to factors which include the availability of posts and the University‟s operational and academic needs.

4.2.3 Equal opportunities 4.2.3.1 The removal of unfair, discriminatory practices and the implementation of affirmative action measures will establish a working environment where equal access to work opportunities will be afforded to the applicants and to current staff. It will enable staff to realise their full potential in accordance with the University‟s operational needs.

215

General

4.2.3.2 A broad realisation of potential, and economic empowerment, are aspired to within the framework of equal access to employment, promotion, training, and development.

4.2.4 Utilisation and management of diversity 4.2.4.1 The University strives towards the development of a working environment and culture that is perceived as non-discriminatory and one that welcomes diversity. The objective is to establish a relationship of mutual trust, co-operation, and self-confidence. 4.2.4.2 The aim is to integrate diversity within the university setting with the functions of the University in a manner that will benefit the University. 4.3 General

4.3.1 Responsibilities and roles 4.3.1.1 The Council of the University confirms the strategic value of the employment equity policy. 4.3.1.2 Deans, heads of environments, faculty boards, and environments are jointly responsible for the establishment and implementation of the policy and for support programmes in their respective faculties and environments. Within the University‟s normal decision-making system and within their areas of responsibility, deans and heads of environments accept responsibility for the implementation of employment equity. 4.3.1.3 Chairpersons of departments and heads of departments are directly responsible for the implementation of action plans, which take into account their unique circumstances, to support the plan of the faculty or environment in accordance with this framework. 4.3.1.4 Staff members are responsible for their own development through continued study and the utilisation of training opportunities to continuously improve their own skills. Deans and heads of environments will, wherever possible, provide their support through the provision of time and the use of facilities. 4.3.1.5 The Rector acts as guardian of the employment equity process, while the direct responsibility for the management of the process and the development and implementation of an employment equity plan rests with the Vice-Rector (Community Interaction and Personnel). 4.3.1.6 The Director: Employment Equity and the Promotion of Diversity is responsible for the day-to-day management of employment equity in cooperation with the Chief Director: Strategic Initiatives and Human Resources and the Vice-Rector (Community Interaction and Personnel).

216

General

4.3.1.7 The Human Resources Division supports the Director: Employment Equity and the Promotion of Diversity and the Vice-Rector (Community Interaction and Personnel) by assisting with the sensitising of management and the monitoring of external trends such as legislation, the designing of programmes and the provision of management information. The Human Resources Division also provides career counselling and it attends to new appointments. 4.3.1.8 Representative committees must be formed as part of the employment equity process for consultations on the employment equity plan and related issues.

4.3.2 Expectations 4.3.2.1 The University will not terminate the services of any person unilaterally and involuntarily in its attempt to meet its affirmative action objectives. 4.3.2.2 The opportunities and expectations resulting from the implementation of this policy may not be interpreted as an enforceable right of any person or group. 4.3.2.3 In striving for employment equity, the University will not deviate from its environment, and mission to promote excellence in practicing science. The University will create an environment, and maintain it, in which knowledge can be discovered, shared and employed to the benefit of the community.

5. SU POLICY ON ACADEMIC INTEGRITY: THE PREVENTION AND HANDLING OF PLAGIARISM 5.1 Background The academic work done at a university means that academics and students are exposed to the ideas, written material and various intellectual and creative products of fellow students and colleagues. The intention of academic work is precisely that the ideas of the lecturer/researcher and student are shaped and honed by these ideas and material of others. At the same time, a process of critical evaluation is required to make new or original inputs or syntheses in order to make it applicable to contemporary international and local questions. Herein lies the particular satisfaction of academic work at university level. Naturally, the original contribution by a person can only be evaluated if it can be distinguished clearly from the contributions of other people. This is done by way of acknowledged systems of acknowledgement and referencing. By not following these conventions and giving the necessary acknowledgement,

217

General

the basis of the academic work at a university is undermined. Taking over this work (words, ideas, creations) of other people and passing it off as the writer‟s own is to commit plagiarism. The University wishes to ensure that the mechanisms are in place that will enable staff and students to promote academic integrity and eliminate plagiarism. At the same time it is important that the effort to deal with cases that are related to plagiarism are dealt with in a consistent and fair manner. It therefore is essential that the University has a policy in place to intercept these aspects and create a framework within which it is possible to function. The following policy is thus proposed and has to be read together with the framework policy for the assurance and promotion of ethically accountable research at Stellenbosch University, the disciplinary code for students of SU, the disciplinary code for staff of SU, as well as any other University policies and guidelines that may be applicable from time to time. 5.2 Plagiarism: Definition and broad categories

5.2.1 Definition: Plagiarism is the theft and use of the ideas, material and other intellectual property of others that are passed off as one‟s own. The intellectual property contained herein is, among others: 5.2.1.1 Literary works, which include articles, books, dissertations, theses, newspapers, notes, course material, the assignments of fellow students, email messages, data, computer code, internet sources and spoken text, which includes speeches, cassette recordings, lectures, interviews, etc. 5.2.1.2 Artistic works, which include images and graphic art, photographs, etc. 5.2.1.3 Multimedia products, which include websites, video productions, films, CDs, design projects, etc. 5.2.1.4 Musical works, which include compositions, lyrics, CDs, DVDs, music or sound bites on the internet, etc.

5.2.2 Categories: All cases of plagiarism amount to a serious offence, which can have dire consequences for the person concerned, including suspension or expulsion (in the case of a student) or dismissal (in the case of a member of staff) from the University, besides possible criminal or civil action. In terms of the University‟s handling of cases of plagiarism, the offences are divided into three broad categories:

218

General

Category 1: Minor offences that can be regarded as resulting from ignorance, negligence or inaccuracy in working with and acknowledging sources, but that can still be regarded as plagiarism. Category 2: Less serious cases, in which sources/work/material has/have been handled injudiciously, but that by nature still constitute plagiarism. Category 1 and 2 offences are usually dealt with by the department concerned in the case of students. Repeated category 2 offences can be referred to the Central Disciplinary Committee (CDC) in the case of students, and in the case of staff they will be dealt with in terms of the Disciplinary Code for Staff (refers to less serious cases). Category 3: Blatant cases, i.e. where the work/material of another person has been taken over and used intentionally and deliberately. In the case of students, such cases will normally be referred to the Central Disciplinary Committee (CDC), and in the case of staff will be dealt with in terms of the to the Disciplinary Code for Staff (refers to serious cases). 5.3 The University’s approach The University‟s policy approach is based on a developmental or awarenesscreating dimension, particularly in the case of students and with due observance of the University‟s Policy on Learning and Teaching. This does not mean that the University is lenient in its handling of plagiarism; on the contrary, it creates a basis for the firm, consistent and tenable handling of cases of plagiarism. Through this dimension, the University creates an opportunity for offences relating to plagiarism to be handled in a decentralised manner and for certain cases to be dealt with at the departmental level and for others to be addressed by way of disciplinary processes, as set out in 5.3.1 and 5.3.2 of this document.

5.3.1 Alleged offence(s)by a member of staff 5.3.1.1 The departmental chairperson will only respond to written complaints that plagiarism has allegedly been committed, together with the necessary documentary evidence. Such complaint may be made anonymously. 5.3.1.2 In cases where it is suspected that a member of staff has committed plagiarism, the case will be facilitated by the chairperson of the department. If the member of staff who pointed out the plagiarism is also the departmental chairperson, another member of staff in the department concerned has to be involved in the process. 5.3.1.3 The departmental chairperson will make enquiries at the Legal Services Division to determine whether any previous offence with regard to plagiarism has been reported. This information is taken into account in the further handling of the case.

219

General

5.3.1.4 Action against a member of staff is subject to the provisions of the Disciplinary Code for Staff. A first offence, if of a less serious nature, is handled by the dean of the faculty. All complaints of alleged serious (second or further) offences by a member of staff will be dealt with in terms of the provisions for serious offences in the Disciplinary Code for Staff.

5.3.2 Alleged offence(s) by students 5.3.2.1 Where it is suspected that a student has committed a form of plagiarism, the matter will be handled further by the chairperson of the department and the lecturer concerned. If the lecturer who pointed out the plagiarism is also the departmental chairperson, another lecturer in the department concerned should be involved in the process. 5.3.2.2 The student shall be informed in writing that he/she has allegedly committed an offence and that, in terms of the rules of the University, the case can be referred directly to the CDC at the sole request of the student, that the process before the CDC is formal and that, among others, the student has “a right to legal representation” (in terms of the Disciplinary Code for Students). The student‟s attention should also be drawn to the possible sanctions that can be imposed by the CDC. 5.3.2.3 The departmental chairperson will make enquiries at the Legal Services Division to determine whether any previous offence with regard to plagiarism by the student concerned has been reported. This information is taken into account in the further handling of the case. (See (5.3.2.4) and (5.3.2.5) below). 5.3.2.4 In the case of a Category 1 or 2 offence: 5.3.2.4.1 Category 1 cases are handled in the department and repeated cases of Category 2 offences are referred to the Central Disciplinary Committee for students (CDC). 5.3.2.4.2 A first Category 2 offence can be dealt with at the departmental level. However, the student has to make an informed decision on the possibility of the case being handled internally, in which case there can be specific sanctions (e.g. that a mark of nil is allocated, that the assignment has to be redone, etc.). In the case of action at the departmental level, the student‟s “right to legal representation” falls away, as does the right to have a process conducted before the CDC. The decision taken by the student must be put in writing, on the prescribed form that can be obtained from the Legal Services Division. 5.3.2.4.3 The minimum sanction by a department is a verbal warning. 5.3.2.5 In the case of a Category 3 offence:

220

General

5.3.2.5.1 The departmental chairperson must refer the case to the Manager: Student Discipline, who will handle the case in terms of the CDC protocol. 5.3.2.5.2 The decision of the Central Disciplinary Committee (CDC) on action against the student is put in writing. 5.3.2.5.3 The Legal Services Division is informed of the case in writing on the prescribed form that can be obtained from Legal Services.

5.3.3 Record keeping in order to ensure the consistent handling of plagiarism 5.3.3.1 Departmental chairpersons must report all cases of alleged plagiarism to the Legal Services Division. This is also done for cases where the person concerned was found not guilty, for the record. 5.3.3.2 The following information should accompany all reports: 5.3.3.2.1 Plagiarism: Departmental handling (form can be obtained from the Legal Services Division) 5.3.3.2.2 Written complaint that was submitted 5.3.3.2.3 Alleged documentary evidence that was submitted 5.3.3.2.4 Names of people who were involved in the investigation/hearing 5.3.3.2.5 Proof that the alleged offender, in the case of students, exercised his/her choice regarding whether or not the case should be referred directly to the CDC. 5.3.3.2.6 Verdict, with the sanction, where applicable. 5.3.3.2.7 Proof that the alleged offender has been informed of the decision. 5.3.3.3 The Legal Services Division must standardise all cases on an annual basis – the reason being to ensure consistent action at the institutional level and to determine a median punishment. In cases where it is clear that a particular department is imposing penalties beyond the median, the department concerned should be informed accordingly and be provided with a copy of the latest guidelines. 5.3.3.4 Appeals are dealt with according to the existing protocols and procedures. 5.3.3.5 All cases should be dealt with in the strictest confidence. 5.4 Implementation 5.4.1 It is the responsibility of departments to ensure that all students and staff are aware of the policy and to make sure that the processes contained therein are implemented consistently. 5.4.2 It is compulsory for all students to sign the Plagiarism Declaration (obtainable from the Legal Service Division) and to attach it to any relevant

221

General

study assignments, as prescribed by the department concerned. Furthermore, it is essential that members of staff are aware that they are also subject to this declaration as employees of the University. 5.4.3 The University has a development instrument (Turnitin software) that is available for students to check their documents as part of the learning process. Lecturers are also encouraged to make use of it. The Centre for Teaching and Learning can assist you with training where required. The University‟s Library and Information Service also provides information literacy sessions that address plagiarism. 5.4.4 In the case where a thesis/dissertation/mini-dissertation is examined for plagiarism, the item must be withdrawn from SUNScholar for the duration of the investigation, as should any other online forms of the document (e.g. on departmental websites). If no form of plagiarism can be found, the document may once again be made available. 5.4.5 Departments should endeavour to ensure the greatest possible measure of consistency in the implementation of the policy with regard to the handling of plagiarism, in order to ensure fairness for all staff and students. 5.4.6 This policy takes preference over all other arrangements that faculties and departments might make with regard to dealing with plagiarism, and the necessary adjustments should be made to such faculty and departmental arrangements to ensure that they are in line with this policy. 5.4.7 The responsibility for supporting those involved in dealing with plagiarism is assigned to the Division for Research Development, which support will be provided in consultation with other appropriate support service divisions, such as the Legal Services Division and the SU Library and Information Service. 5.4.8 The Legal Services Division keeps a record of all instances of plagiarism that are reported by the department concerned or by the relevant disciplinary committees.

6. RELIGIOUS WORSHIP AT THE UNIVERSITY The following rules, imposed by the Council of the University, shall be subject to the final proviso laid down in the relevant subsection of the Constitutional Act of 1996: 6.1 Since the substantial majority of the University community at SU is of the Christian faith, it is deemed fair that further references in these rules to “religious worship” be taken as references to religious worship of a Christian nature.

222

General

6.2 Religious worship may be engaged in at official meetings of the University‟s central and faculty organs, that is to say Council, Senate, Convocation and the Boards of Faculties. 6.3 Religious worship may be engaged in at public ceremonies which are arranged at the central, the faculty or the divisional level, for instance graduation ceremonies, the official opening of the University, public lectures, etc. 6.4 Religious worship may be engaged in University residences, as may from time to time be resolved by the house committee concerned. 6.5 Religious worship may be engaged in at official meetings of the Students‟ Representative Council and of recognised student societies and sports clubs, as may from time to time be resolved by the Students‟ Representative Council or by the management of the student society or sports club concerned. 6.6 These rules signify no imposition of any restriction whatever upon nonChristian religious worship at the University.

7. SMOKING POLICY 7.1 In adopting a policy on smoking, Stellenbosch University 7.1.1 wishes to ensure that it acts within the framework of the Control of Tobacco Products Act, 1993 (Act 83 of 1993); 7.1.2 trusts that courtesy, consideration and respect for one another‟s preferences and needs will greatly contribute to the moderation of such interpersonal differences as may arise as a result of smoking in the workplace and, thereby, to the promotion of harmony and productivity. 7.2 For reasons of safety, health and convenience, smoking is prohibited at all times in 7.2.1 libraries; 7.2.2 laboratories; 7.2.3 kitchens/food preparation areas; 7.2.4 eating places/restaurants; 7.2.5 staff rooms/tea rooms; 7.2.6 lecture rooms/halls; 7.2.7 places of gathering, such as auditoriums (e.g. the Endler Hall and the Thom Theatre); 7.2.8 committee rooms, conference rooms/halls and seminar rooms;

223

General

7.2.9 lifts/elevators; 7.2.10 University vehicles; 7.2.11 toilets; 7.2.12 offices/rooms; 7.2.13 other enclosed spaces where persons could find themselves in a „captive‟ situation; 7.2.14 any specific area which the University in its discretion has formally designated a no-smoking zone.

8. SEXUAL HARASSMENT 8.1 Objective 8.1.1 Stellenbosch University is committed to the creation of an environment that is free of sexual harassment. Wherever sexual harassment occurs, it threatens the basic human rights of the individual and undermines the values enshrined in the South African Constitution, as well as the integrity of the University. 8.1.2 The principal objective of the University‟s policy on sexual harassment is to prevent sexual harassment from occurring. The University expects all of its students, employees and management staff to refrain from sexual harassment. 8.2 Definition The expression “sexual harassment” refers to behaviour, typically experienced as insulting in its nature, through which unwanted sexual approaches are made in the context of a relationship of equal/unequal power or authority. It may be experienced as an expression of power, authority and control of a sexual nature. It creates a hostile environment, which interferes with the individual‟s capacity to learn and/or work. 8.3 Different forms of sexual harassment Divergent perceptions exist as to what sexual harassment involves. These perceptions range from unwelcome sexual attention, through sexist or suggestive remarks and bribery/blackmail (e.g. positive rewards/sanctions for sexual favours) to aggressive behaviour, such as rape attempts or actual rape. “Sexual harassment” thus covers a wide range of undesirable behaviour that includes the following forms among others: 8.3.1 Verbal forms, such as unwelcome enquiries about a person‟s sex life, telephone calls with sexual undertones, persistent rude or sexist jokes/

224

General

remarks, unwelcome requests for dates, comments about an individual‟s figure, etc. 8.3.2 Non-verbal forms, such as gestures with a sexual significance, leering, persistent unwelcome flirting, etc. 8.3.3 Visual forms, such as the displaying of pornographic photographs, cartoons, objects, etc., that create a hostile environment. 8.3.4 Physical forms, such as unwelcome touching (patting, pinching, fondling and kissing), pawing, touching, molesting and rape. 8.3.5 Quid pro quo forms, such as sexual bribery (a promise of e.g. promotion in return for favours of a sexual kind) and sexual blackmail (the withholding of e.g. promotion unless favours of a sexual kind are granted). 8.4 Manner of dealing with allegations of sexual harassment If a student experiences harassment or becomes aware of harassment, he must in cases where the incident is a minor or isolated one confront the harasser in person and/or in writing if at all possible and inform the harasser that the behaviour is inappropriate, unwelcome and not amusing. Keep a written record of the incident or events by making a note of particulars such as the incident(s), time or times, name or names and evidence or any other relevant information. If the harassment continues, if it is of a serious nature, or if the complainant chooses not to confront the harasser in person, the matter may be taken further through the Advisory Forum on Sexual Harassment, a forum of eleven expert members constituted by the Rector for a fixed term of three years. Depending on the degree of seriousness and if mediation by the Advisory Forum proves not to be successful, the matter will be referred further to the Central Disciplinary Committee in terms of the Rules for Students. 8.5 Jurisdiction The jurisdiction of the Advisory Forum is determined by the nature of the relationship between the alleged harasser(s) and the complainant(s). If the harassment occurs in the context of a University-based relationship, the Advisory Forum will have jurisdiction over the matter. Particularly in cases where the relationship is such that the harasser(s) is in a position of authority towards the complainant(s), there cannot be any doubt as to jurisdiction, even if the alleged harassment occurred outside the geographical boundaries of the University. In principle, however, the same applies in the case of equals.

9. POLICY ON STUDENTS WITH SPECIAL LEARNING NEEDS/DISABILITIES 9.1 Background and the current state of affairs In 1994, Stellenbosch University appointed an ad hoc committee to investigate the accommodation of persons with disabilities on campus (Rossouw, 2005). This process, up to the establishment of the Advice Forum for Students with Disabilities in 1997, is explained in full by Rossouw (2005). As of 1 January 2006, the services for students with special learning needs/disabilities has resided under the Centre for Student Counselling and Development (CSCD). Up to now the official policy regarding students with special learning needs/disabilities (SU, 1997) has directed the advisory role of the Advice Forum and basic service delivery to such students. The definition of disability, in terms of the previous policy, was based on the obsolete medical model of diagnostic entities. (See Brand (2005) for an explanation of the different approaches to defining the concept “disability”). The main limitation in the previous process of service delivery to students with special learning needs/disabilities at the University was therefore the result of its decentralised nature. 9.2 Legislation and the National Plan for Higher Education Chapter 2 of the South African Constitution of 1996, the Bill of Rights, guarantees fundamental rights for all South African citizens. This includes an equity clause, as well as the right to freedom from discrimination, based on a number of social criteria. Discrimination based on disability is one of these criteria. Thus, the Bill of Rights explicitly states that an individual may neither directly nor indirectly be discriminated against on grounds of a disability. The Higher Education Act, 1997, requires that more effective measures be put in place to address the needs of students with special learning needs/disabilities and that specific changes to the system be considered, such as changes to the curricula and teaching, in order to accommodate a more diverse student body. The Higher Education Act, 1997, is also based on values that promote tolerance and an appreciation of diversity.

The terms „special learning needs‟ and „disabilities‟ are used interchangeably in this document.

226

General

The National Plan for Higher Education of 2001 also clearly states that higher education establishments should better provide for the needs of students who experience barriers to learning and development, specifically those barriers that are intrinsic to disability. Therefore, these institutions have to indicate the steps and strategies, and the relevant timeframe, in their respective institutional plans for the optimal accommodation of such students. Higher education establishments are also expected to ensure, where possible, that students with physical disabilities can easily access physical facilities. 9.3 The position of Stellenbosch University The University‟s vision as set out in A Strategic Framework for the Turn of the Century and Beyond (2000) describes a campus culture that welcomes diversity of people and ideas. Students with special learning needs/disabilities enrich any environment with their unique knowledge, skills and characteristics, adding value to such an environment. The principle of fairness/equity in A Strategic Framework (2000) means that the University is committed to welcoming a student body that is more representative of South African society as a whole. This implies that more disabled prospective students should be encouraged to study at tertiary level. The principle of tolerance in the vision can be understood as a willingness to accommodate, as far as is possible, disabled students‟ diverse (and often complex) academic needs. A Strategic Framework (2000) sets out unequivocally that the University will “continue to give attention to accessibility for people with disabilities” (p. 20), and is viewed as the basis for this policy regarding students with disabilities. The University‟s vision and strategic priorities are therefore taken into account in this way. The University is committed to the promotion of equal opportunities for all. The University protects, within reason, the rights of individuals with special learning needs/disabilities, including their participation in higher-education activities. In addition, the University wishes to foster a positive and nonprejudicial attitude among staff and students toward persons with disabilities, and will, as far as is financially viable, provide for the needs of persons with disabilities. With this policy on students with special learning needs/disabilities, the University wishes to serve the broadest possible spectrum of the South African society, within the framework of its goals and with due consideration of the viability of providing such a service on all the different levels, by: 9.3.1 accepting students with special learning needs/disabilities, and who meet the necessary academic requirements, into the student community as fully integrated members;

227

General

9.3.2 providing for the needs of such students where necessary, where doing so is practicable, and without impinging on the rights of other students; and 9.3.3 maintaining a central office and employing a specific person or persons to coordinate and promote academic accessibility and support for students with special learning needs/disabilities. 9.4 Definition For the purposes of this policy, the term „disability‟ is used to refer to a person with (a) verifiable physical, non-visible, and/or psychological limitation/s that negatively affect(s) the person‟s daily activities in a specific way. This definition is implemented in accordance with the social model of disability, in which the focus is placed on the environment as a potentially limiting factor in terms of participation and engagement in activities, rather than on the diagnostic entities regarding disability as such. 9.5 Rights of students with special learning needs/disabilities This policy aims to provide for the needs of students with special learning needs/disabilities, within the limits of what is viable, and taking financial constraints into consideration, by: 9.5.1 facilitating access to modules, programmes, academic adjustments and/or aid; 9.5.2 keeping up to date with changes in the accommodation needs and other needs of the students with disabilities; 9.5.3 ensuring that all confidential information concerning the disability is only disclosed with the written consent of the student involved; and 9.5.4 promoting communication between staff members and students with special learning needs/disabilities, among other things by obtaining academic and other information in an appropriate format. 9.6 Admission and registration Admission to the University will not be refused on grounds of the prospective student having a disability, as long as the applicant meets the set academic requirements (which might in fact exclude persons with specific types of disabilities). 9.6.1 It is the applicant‟s responsibility to provide information concerning his disability in the application. In cases where applicants did not disclose their disability beforehand, the University is in no way obliged to provide support to any such student during his studies at the University.

228

General

9.6.2 Upon receiving the application/information, the Admissions Division will submit it to the Office for Students with Special Learning Needs (Disabilities) (OSSLN), which will identify the applicant‟s unique needs and the implications thereof by means of a questionnaire that the applicant will be required to complete. 9.6.3 After the evaluation by the OSSLN, faculties will be advised on the implications for support, including financial support, should the student be accepted. Faculties can then decide themselves what forms of support they can offer the student. 9.6.4 After admission, the student will be considered for the field of study of his choice. The Registrar‟s Division, the relevant academic department/s, other professionals and the OSSLN (in consultation with the applicant) will jointly consider recommendations for admission. If necessary, and with cogent motivation, certain measures will be taken to make teaching accessible for the disabled student concerned. Other adjustments (such as the use of special equipment by a lecturer and/or the student) may also be made, provided that such adjustments do not undermine the integrity of the graduate programme or make unrealistic demands on the lecturers. The student will be expected to provide a list of modules being followed, as well as the student‟s contact details to all the lecturers concerned, as well as to the OSSLN. 9.7 Accommodation The existing accommodation/admission requirements and regulations, as they relate to placement in university housing, also apply to students with disabilities. Applications for admission to university housing will be considered and dealt with on an individual basis. 9.7.1 Special concessions will be made in the consideration of students with special learning needs/disabilities for admission to residence in university housing, as far as is practically and financially viable. Should a prospective student be dependent on the aid of an assistant, the accommodation of such a student together with the assistant will be considered, provided the housing units developed especially for this purpose are not already occupied. 9.7.2 Should a student with a special learning need/disability be accepted into a residence or university house, the housing already equipped with such facilities will enjoy preference. The OSSLN may be asked to provide guidance to the management of the residence/house concerned in respect of the student.

229

General

9.8 Physical facilities The University aims, where possible and financially viable, to improve accessibility to specific buildings and other facilities for students with special learning needs/disabilities. 9.8.1 In cases where a specific problem with access to an existing building is identified, either for a registered or prospective student, the University will attempt to rectify the problem as soon as possible. Such rectification may include a cost estimate or the consideration of other options (such as moving lectures to a more accessible venue). Academic and housing needs will enjoy preference. 9.8.2 Accessibility to students with disabilities will be taken into account as priority in the planning of new buildings and other physical facilities (for teaching, research, housing, sport, recreation, etc.) This also applies in the upgrading of existing facilities. 9.8.3 A representative of the OSSLN will maintain close contact with Facilities Management, in order to ensure that building project teams take the needs of persons with disabilities into account. 9.9 Support services In consultation with the OSSLN, attention will be given to the specific needs of persons with disabilities, while taking practical and financial viability into account. The following divisions or sections are involved in supporting these students: 9.9.1 The Division Student and Academic Support, and more specifically the OSSLN (point of service of the CSCD), coordinates all such activities aimed at supporting these students. 9.9.2 The CSCD facilitates, among other things, personal therapy and development, extended time allowed for examinations and career development. 9.9.3 HUMARGA provides a variety of software packages, Braille facilities and other specialised tools. 9.9.4 The Department of Sport Science/Maties Sport provides for participation in sport, wherever possible. 9.9.5 If individual tutors are needed by students with special learning needs (even after their first academic year), the faculties concerned should, in conjunction with the OSSLN, perform a needs assessment for the following year and budget for tutor funding for those students. This informs the budgets for subsequent years. Should additional funds be required, the faculty may approach the OSSLN for support.

230

General

9.9.6 The student committee, Dis-Maties, is responsible for awareness drives, support and the promotion of the overall institutional climate with regard to students with special learning needs/disabilities. Dis-Maties receives organisational support from the OSSLN, but is a registered society like other student societies on campus. 9.9.7 Housing arrangements are finalised by the Centre for Student Communities with input from the OSSLN where necessary (see also point 7 in this regard). 9.10 University clubs and societies When a person applies for membership of a University society and/or club, membership will not be refused solely because of the person‟s disability, but practical considerations and viability are significant. 9.11 Grievance procedure In the case of academic grievances, the academic grievance procedure has to be followed through the Academic Affairs Council and the Dean‟s Office concerned if personal discussions between the student and the lecturer and/or departmental chair do not solve the problem. Academic grievances are grievances regarding: the content and/or presentation of modules/graduate programmes; the learning environment and/or supportive aids; and the evaluation of graduate programmes. Administrative grievances concern matters pertaining to, among others, registration, subject choice and study fees, and should be discussed with the administrative official involved, the faculty secretary, or, if necessary, the Registrar. If the problem cannot be solved within the immediate environment, a written complaint should be filed with the Division Student and Academic Support, specifically the OSSLN. If a solution is still not found, the Director of the CSCD will then follow the official grievance procedure, in consultation with the Academic Affairs Council of the Students‟ Representative Council. As a last resort, the case should be reported to the ombudsman. All other complaints (such as those of a physical or practical nature) can be reported to the relevant divisions or sections (such as Risk and Protection Services, Student and Academic Support, and more specifically the Centre for Student Affairs and the OSSLN).

All gatherings must therefore be arranged and held inside venues in University buildings, except where the competent office bearer of the University grants explicit permission for an outdoor gathering. (Gatherings in the amphitheatre at the JS Gericke Library are regarded as outdoor gatherings.) To stage protests, the procedure outlined in par. 10.6 later on in this chapter must be followed. 10.2.2 In the case of outdoor gatherings on the academic portion of Stellenbosch campus, Tygerberg campus or Bellville Park campus, permission must be obtained from the Dean of Students. Applications for

232

General

permission to hold an outdoor gathering must comply mutatis mutandis with the requirements in paragraphs 10.3.2 and 10.3.3 below. 10.2.3 The Dean of Students will not grant permission for musical performances of any kind, or the use of speakers or other broadcasting or sound systems in the open air or on the academic portion of the Stellenbosch, Tygerberg or Bellville Park campus, except between the hours of 12:50 and 13:50 from Monday to Friday, however still subject to the explicit permission of the Dean of Students. 10.2.4 In the case of outdoor gatherings elsewhere on the University‟s campuses, permission must be obtained from the person or institution (e.g. Maties Sport or residence authority) in charge of the premises in question. Information on those in charge of particular premises can be obtained from the Dean of Students. 10.3 Venue use and booking by students 10.3.1 Apart from academic users, only student societies that are officially recognised by the Students‟ Representative Council as well as residences may use University venues for gatherings, upon payment of the current tariffs. 10.3.2 All applications to book venues must be made in writing, and must reach the responsible person in charge of the particular venue in the department/division within at least 48 hours of the planned use of the venue. The applicant must provide the information outlined in par. 10.3.3. (A list of such responsible persons are available from the Office of the Students‟ Representative Council.) 10.3.3 In each case, the responsible person must keep a booking register, containing full information with regard to the booked venue, date and time; the organisation making the booking; whether non-students shall attend the event; the theme or subject of the gathering; the name (and address and contact number) as well as position of the person making the booking, and the signature of the responsible person who grants the booking. 10.3.4 The responsible person may refuse to book a venue, not only due to its non-availability, but also when the meeting or gathering in question could, in the opinion of the responsible person, harm the reputation of, or cause disruption at, the University. In such a case, the final decision with regard to the booking rests with the Dean of Students. 10.4 Holding of public gatherings by student societies 10.4.1 Student societies may arrange and hold public gatherings only with the Students‟ Representative Council‟s permission. Such permission must be applied for in writing to the Office of the Students‟ Representative Council at

233

General

244

General

4.3 Provisional expulsion 4.3.1 Where a charge of misconduct is being considered against a student, and where there is a reasonable possibility that the student may commit further misconduct, or where provisional expulsion is in the interests of the investigation, the MSD, in consultation with the Director: Legal Services and the appropriate Vice Rector / Dean, may provisionally suspend such student for a period determined by the MSD. The student is thus forbidden from entering any residence or premises or any part of the University, and is stripped of any position, right or privilege arising from his enrolment as a student. 4.3.2 Should there be allegations of misconduct against a member of a house committee, he may be relieved provisionally of his office by the resident warden of a residence or the visiting warden of a PSO ward, pending the investigation. 4.3.3 Should there be allegations of misconduct against a resident of a residence, the resident warden may compel such resident to provisionally leave the residence, pending the investigation. 4.3.4 The period of provisional expulsion may extend until the point when a disciplinary committee either finds the student not guilty, or finds him guilty and punishes him. 4.3.5 Such provisional expulsion may be withdrawn at any time by the MSD in consultation with the Director: Legal Services. Steps relating to the charge of misconduct may be continued despite the withdrawal. 4.3.6 Within two working days after he has been informed of such expulsion, the expelled student may make complete written representations about the provisional expulsion to the Director: Legal Services, who may set aside the provisional expulsion. 4.4 Summary procedure 4.4.1 If the secretary of a disciplinary committee, or the resident warden (visiting warden), or the member of the residence committee in consultation with the resident warden (visiting warden), or the secretary of the disciplinary committee of a residence is of the opinion that the student concerned should be granted an opportunity to admit his guilt before the charge against him is heard by the disciplinary committee, the student concerned shall be informed accordingly in writing, including mention of the penalty that will be imposed should the student admit guilt. 4.4.2 The penalty shall be determined on the basis of the nature of the infringement. The penalties for which the summary procedure makes provision are the following:

245

General

4.4.2.1 The imposition of a reasonable punitive assignment, including community service or a written warning. This penalty shall not be reflected on the student‟s academic record, but shall still be recorded on the student record system. 4.4.2.2 The payment of such amount as constitutes adequate compensation for any damage, loss or costs caused by the student. 4.4.2.3 The payment of a cash fine. 4.4.2.4 A written warning. 4.4.2.5 The publication on appropriate notice boards on the campus of particulars of the offence and penalty, including the name of the student. 4.4.2.6 Notice in writing of the nature of the offence and penalty to the parents of the student or any other person or entity. 4.4.2.7 Any combination of the penalties given in points 4.4.2.1 to 4.4.2.6 above. 4.4.3 The written notice envisaged in paragraph 4.4.1 above shall also contain the following information: 4.4.3.1 That, if the student does not wish to appear before the disciplinary committee, he can make an admission of guilt within two working days after delivery of mentioned notice. 4.4.3.2 That he is under no obligation whatever to make such admission of guilt. 4.4.3.3 The penalty that will be imposed should he admit guilt. 4.4.4 Should the student not admit guilt within the period indicated in the notice, the charge against the student shall be heard by the disciplinary committee concerned. 4.4.5 Such summary disciplinary power may only be exercised with regard to an offence that falls within the power of a disciplinary committee in terms of this disciplinary code. 4.5 Referral to a disciplinary committee If the MSD decides that the matter should be heard by a disciplinary committee, it may be dealt with by one of the committees as set out in sections 5 to 7 below: Section 5 Residence and PSO disciplinary committee (RDC) Section 6 Intermediate Residence Disciplinary Committee (IRDC) Section 7 Central Disciplinary Committee (CDC) The following provisions are applicable to the above-mentioned disciplinary committees in general:

246

General

4.5.1 All the University‟s disciplinary committees are administrative tribunals with the objective of education and rehabilitation. 4.5.2 Apart from the provisions of this disciplinary code, and the principles of administrative justice, the rules determine the procedure that shall be followed before the hearing and, in so far as the rules are silent thereon, the disciplinary committee concerned determines the procedure to be followed in the hearing. 4.5.3 The person who wishes to have an alleged offence investigated by a disciplinary committee shall report the matter to the secretary of the disciplinary committee, the IO or the MSD of the University. 4.5.4 The person reporting the alleged offence should be prepared to provide evidence before the disciplinary committee in person should the committee require him to do so. 4.5.5 Unless the complainant has submitted a written statement signed by himself that includes the full particulars of the complaint to the committee secretary or the IO, the committee secretary or the IO, in consultation with the MSD, may refused to have an alleged offence investigated or have it investigated further. 4.5.6 The secretary of the relevant committee must familiarise himself with whether the disciplinary committee has the power to hear the matter. This is done, among others, by consulting either the MSD or the chairperson of the IRDC, depending on the particular case. 4.5.7 If a formal complaint is laid against a student, the student may firstly be informed about it orally, and then in writing (either on paper or electronically). 4.5.8 When a student who is being accused of an offence has to appear in front of a disciplinary committee, he shall receive written notice thereof at least five working days before the hearing. 4.5.9 The written notice shall include the following information: The date, time and place of the hearing The full charge and particulars of the alleged misconduct The student‟s right to assistance, and his right to attend the hearing A warning that should he refrain from attending the hearing, the hearing could continue in his absence The name and particulars of the prosecutor in the matter 4.5.10 This notice shall be delivered to the student in person at least five working days before the date of the hearing, or by hand by an officer of the Stellenbosch University Protection Services (USPS) to the student‟s address as reflected on the student record.

The jurisdiction of the IRDC excludes the jurisdiction of the residences‟ and PSO‟s own disciplinary committees. 6.4 The power of the IRDC is similar to that of the RDC, with the difference that the IRDC hears cases that are not suitable to be heard by the RDC concerned, or that should preferably not be heard by the CDC. These include the following cases: 6.4.1 Where there would be a clash of interests and it would not be desirable for an RDC to hear the case within the same residence group. 6.4.2 Where students from two or more residences and PSOs were involved in the incident as co-offenders or accomplices. 6.4.3 Where the appropriate penalty should there be a guilty verdict would exceed the punitive jurisdiction of the RDC. 6.4.4 Where the case involves an infringement that concerns the handling or spending of money, the incurrence of debt, or the destruction or spending of the income of the residence, PSO or University. 6.4.5 Where the case cannot be investigated by an RDC, although in such cases the MSD may refer the case to the CDC. 6.5 The student has the right to appeal if he is not satisfied with the verdict of or penalty imposed by the IRDC. The appeal shall be heard by the CDC as a last resort.

It boasts a rich musical history spanning one century and is the oldest institution of its kind for tertiary music training in South Africa. The modern building houses not only the Department of Music, but also the Music Library, which has a remarkable collection of early music editions and sound recordings. The recently established Documentation Centre for Music (DOMUS) houses the most important collection of material in the country about South African composers and institutions of music-historical interest. Besides halls such as the Fismer (a rehearsal and concert hall) and the Jannasch (a lecture hall), there is the Endler Concert Hall with its outstanding acoustics, which is the venue for a very full concert series each year, in which many local and international artists perform. The Endler Hall houses a mechanical organ with slider chests with tracker action built by the Danish firm Marcussen, while the artist Larry Scully‟s Music Murals adorn the Behrens Foyer. The building houses several lecture halls, a chamber music studio, a church music studio and a fully equipped recording/electronic studio with computercontrolled sound modules and the latest software and digital apparatus. The new computer laboratory supports training in music technology and, like most of the lecture halls, it is equipped with a data projector. The soundproof practice facilities occupy three storeys, with 57 practice rooms, six of them fitted with practice organs. Undergraduate and postgraduate programmes are offered, as set out in Part 4 of the University Calendar. The Music Department also offers certificate programmes that require no previous training in music. The Conservatoire annually presents an international chamber music festival during which visiting students and professional musicians from various parts of the world take part in concerts and workshops.

5. Information Technology 5.1 About us The Information Technology (IT) Division comprises of more than 120 staff members, from support technicians, system administrators, engineers and software developers to business analysts. The division plans, provides and maintains cyber-infrastructure (such as networks, central servers, identity management, e-mail and telecommunications systems, among others) and various applications, information systems and services that are essential to the University‟s core academic and administrative functions, and it supports users in the effective use of information and communications technology (ICT). Uniquely among South African institutions, it also maintains a significant internal systems and software development capability. The Senior Director: Information Technology Division is responsible for the overall effective employment of information technology and systems in support of teaching and learning, research, community outreach and management functions at the University. The Director: Services and Operations is responsible for supporting all users in the application and use of information technology; planning, implementing and operating institutional computer and network infrastructure; procuring and managing campus software licencing agreements and planning and implementing and operating various core systems such as institutional e-mail. The Director: Information Systems is responsible for the operation and maintenance of central information systems and applications that support the University‟s core academic processes of teaching, learning and research; administration and management; and community interaction. The role also entails maintaining and nurturing relationships with institutional process and system owners. The Information Technology Division established a new function within the Development Section called the IT Project Programme Office. The newly established office must, as its primary function, ensure that all the efforts of sections within the Information Technology Division are focused on projects

261

General

that are in every aspect aligned with the strategic goals of the University. The Director: Development is responsible for the IT Division‟s portfolio of new projects, the analysis of information system needs, architecture, the design and development of solutions, project management, information security and the management of change as new solutions are implemented. The IT Project Programme Office needs to ensure that projects are completed on time, within budget and according to specifications. This includes coordinating and prioritising resources across projects, the management of connections between projects and the overall costs and risks of the programme. Thus, we want to ensure that the selected programmes, also consisting of individual projects, fall within the scope of the University‟s strategic objectives and the Division‟s capabilities.

5.2 Our focus Traditionally the IT Division has concentrated on user support, providing cyber-infrastructure and administrative systems for finances, human resources and student and curriculum administration, with a particular emphasis on technology. However, the IT Division is committed to meeting the ever-growing information needs of the University by increasingly focusing on: becoming a strategic partner for functional entities within the institution, especially academic faculties and departments; providing information services and systems that support the core academic functions of learning and teaching, research and community outreach; understanding and analysing academic and institutional processes with a view to providing appropriate information solutions; aligning its offerings with the strategic objectives of the institution. Simultaneously, the division is aware of and is tracking the rapidly-changing cyber-landscape where ubiquitous, always online, high-speed information networks, mobility, social media and the advent of cloud computing, are presenting new challenges and transformational opportunities. The IT Division recognises that it has to become more responsive to the institution‟s needs, but also realises that ICT‟s essential role in knowledge production and sharing requires its services to be reliable, resilient, secure and transparent.

7. Institute for Mathematics and Science Teaching (IMSTUS) The Institute came into being on 26 July 1977, its brief being to provide inservice training for under-qualified Biology, Mathematics and Physical Science teachers of the Cape Education Department. Since 1978, one-year and two-year certificate programmes in Botany, Chemistry, Physics, Zoology and Mathematics and the corresponding subject didactics were presented

265

General

annually for selected Mathematics and Science teachers of the Cape Education Department. This was done partly through contact instruction and partly through distance learning. The goal of this in-service training was to provide teachers with opportunities not only to brush up on and update their knowledge and skills concerning their subject, but also to develop their teaching abilities in that subject. From 1983 to 1992, this work was extended through the FITMAST project (Formal In-service Training of Mathematics and Science Teachers). Stellenbosch University and the University of the Western Cape, by means of IMSTUS and the Goldfields Resource Centre, respectively, presented similar in-service training for Mathematics and Science teachers who were under the authority of the then Council of Representatives. At the end of 1992, the cooperation with the then education departments were suspended following a change in prevailing needs and conditions. From 1995 to 2003, IMSTUS has operated in collaboration with the Division for Academic Development Programmes. Since 2004, the Institute forms part of the Department of Curriculum Studies in the Faculty of Education. The major focus of its work is in-service training of and providing support for teachers from educationally disadvantaged communities. Aspects of the work done by the Institute include the following: 1. The Advanced Certificate in Education (ACE), with Physical Sciences, Mathematical Sciences, Life Sciences and Information Technology as fields of study (see the Calendar, Part 6). The academic component of the ACE falls under the Faculty of Education. IMSTUS is responsible for the management, marketing and co-ordination of the presentation of these fields of study. This two-year programme affords teachers the opportunity to continue in full-time service, while being equipped with subject expertise and didactic skills through contact tuition and distance learning. Teachers are awarded an accredited Advanced Certificate in Education on successful completion of the programme. 2. IMSTUS runs various projects with a view to the enrichment and renewal of teaching in (mainly) historically disadvantaged schools. The funding for these projects comes from contributions by the private sector and contracts with the Department of Education. Upgrading of teachers‟ subject knowledge, enhancement of their instructional skills, and the fostering of a teaching and learning culture in schools are among the chief goals being pursued in these projects. Teaching material to be used in the classroom is introduced to teachers during workshops. The purpose of this material is to supplement existing textbooks and to link topics to the everyday situation of the learners. Schools are visited regularly by

266

General

facilitators, who advise and support the teachers and monitor renewal of the classroom culture. 3. The SciMathUS Bridging Programme is offered to learners from educationally disadvantaged circumstances who have completed matric and have the necessary potential, but do not meet the admission requirements for University programmes because of poor education. The programme runs for one year and focuses on Mathematics and Physical Sciences or Mathematics and Accounting/Economics. In Mathematics and Physical Sciences, the National Senior Certificate examinations are repeated at the end of the year, while an internal examination is written in Accounting and Economics. In addition, support is also offered in Language and Communication Skills and Computer Literacy. 4. IMSTUS organises the annual Stellenbosch Regional Exhibition of the Eskom Expo for Young Scientists. This organisation, which has international links, aims to promote Science and Technology among school-going youth. Critically important skills, the most important being problem-solving, are developed during the execution of research projects. IMSTUS also attempts to use the Expo to raise interest in Mathematics, Science and Technology at school level, to enter into new partnerships and to help develop a new generation with technical and research skills. 5. Research to monitor and enhance the effectiveness and quality of interventions in Mathematics and Science education is continuously undertaken. IMSTUS believes that the services offered to Mathematics and Science teachers benefit learners from all South African communities.

8. Library and Information Service The University‟s Library and Information Service is committed to providing an outstanding, dynamic information service to clients in its role as academic support facility. The Library and Information Service comprises the JS Gericke Library and five branch libraries (for Medicine and Health Sciences, Music, Theology, Management Sciences and a combined library for Engineering and Forestry). SU students and staff members are automatically members of all these libraries. The library collection is extensive and diverse and consists, among others, of about 739 876 books, 1 079 current paper-based journal titles and 40 676 other types of material. Regarding information sources, greater emphasis is placed on access to information than on ownership of information and the stock is therefore rather supplemented by means of interlibrary loans and

267

General

other national and international agreements. Access to electronic sources currently entails more than 60 919 electronic journal titles and 117 databases.

Enquiries Dr LLM MacMaster, Tel.: 021 808 2222 11.5 Centre for Student Counselling and Development (CSCD)

The Centre for Student Counselling and Development (CSCD) was established on 1 September 1997 through an amalgamation of three previously independent units, namely the Unit for Clinical Psychology, the Unit for Student Counselling, and the Unit for Counselling Psychology. In 1997, the Careers Office was established as yet another partner within this integral team and on 7 September 1999 official approval was given for the current name. An Office for Students with Special Learning Needs (Disabilities) was established at the Centre in 2006. Intern psychologists from all the registration categories can join the Centre as part of its multidisciplinary team.

11.5.1 Vision statement The Centre endeavours to run a psychological and counselling service at Stellenbosch University that is aimed at the total university community (with the primary focus on students), that is relevant and excellent in the African context and that, as such, is at the forefront both nationally and internationally.

275

General

11.5.2 Broad service functions Broadly speaking, the functions of the Centre can be grouped into six services: Academic counselling, career guidance and development services; Individual and/or group psychotherapy services; A 24-hour crisis service; Contemporary developmental workshops; Consultation services; Training and supervision of intern psychologists. Overall, the CSCD adheres to the internationally recognised wellness approach. The “ALFA” programme is focused primarily on first-year students. (In fact, what sparked the Afrikaans acronym “ALFA” in the first place was the idea of „academic adjustment thanks to guidance and facilitation‟.) The “OMEGA” programme helps students, mainly seniors, to round out their time of study by preparing them optimally for the realities, demands and challenges of the world of work. (Here, the idea behind the Afrikaans acronym is „effective degree completion thanks to the right development mechanisms‟.)

11.5.3 Reception desks Central reception for the Stellenbosch Campus is at 37 Victoria Street. For Tygerberg Campus, reception is on the second floor of the Student Centre. A 24-hour crisis service is also available.

11.5.4 General All services are free of charge for registered students. However, a consultation fee is payable by prospective students (in collaboration with the CPS). All services are provided by individuals who are registered with the Health Professions Council of South Africa. Strict confidentiality is therefore guaranteed. Enquiries Prof CD Cilliers, Tel.: 021 808 4971 11.6 Centre for Prospective Students (CPS)

The Centre for Prospective Students helps by answering the questions posed by prospective students, their parents and the broader community by visiting schools to address the learners on possible careers, teaching programmes and the unique opportunities offered by Stellenbosch University.

276

General

11.6.1 Exhibitions, parent evenings and information sessions The CPS annually makes contact with prospective students and their parents in a variety of ways. This contact takes place primarily by way of career exhibitions, parent evenings, information sessions at schools and campus visits.

11.6.2 Recruitment bursary project The University offers recruitment bursaries to coloured, black and Indian students who show academic potential and would like to study at the University. The project is run strategically by the CPS in collaboration with the Bursaries and Loans Division. Learners do not have to apply for this bursary, as all applicants are considered automatically for an offer as soon as they apply for admission.

11.6.3 Open Day Every year, the Centre for Prospective Students holds an Open Day where nearly 5 000 students visit information stalls representing the University (each faculty and all the support divisions). The Open Day offers an ideal opportunity for learners to experience the programme offering of the University in an interactive manner. In the light of the important role played by student life at the University in the choice of first-year students to study here, the Open Day offers an important opportunity to experience a day in the life of a Matie student. This year the Open Day will be held on Friday 26 July 2013. Feel free to contact the Centre for Prospective Students for more information.

11.6.4 Career counselling for prospective students The Centre for Prospective Students, in collaboration with registered psychologists, offers professional counselling services in order to empower learners to make informed subject and career choices. These services include: Grade 9 subject choice counselling Psychometric assessment of personality, aptitude and interest with individual feedback to learners and parents, as well as a written report in order to integrate the learner‟s self-knowledge with the school‟s subject choice options.

Enquiries Mr L van den Heever, Tel.: 021 808 4709 11.7 Language Centre (LC)

The Language Centre of Stellenbosch University is responsible for teaching, academic support and research in the field of language and text design skills. For this purpose, it consists of five units, namely the Unit for Afrikaans and English, the Unit for isiXhosa, the Writing Laboratory, the Unit for Document Design and the Language Service Unit. These units provide a variety of services for students, staff and outside clients. These services include:

11.7.1 Writing skills development The focus is on personal consultation for students needing support with their writing assignments. The Writing Laboratory also offers group consultations and workshops on academic writing skills.

11.7.2 Language development and/or language acquisition for second- or additional-language speakers of Afrikaans, English and isiXhosa In the various language development and/or language acquisition courses for students, provision is made for the needs of students at different levels of proficiency (from beginner to advanced level). Attention is given to the integrated development of the four language skills (speaking, listening, writing and reading), which form the focus of the respective courses. Aspects such as grammar, flow/fluency, pronunciation, spelling, vocabulary and written discourse also receive attention. An interactive and holistic method of teaching is used.

11.7.3 Academic literacy In these courses we focus more broadly on the development of students‟ strategic writing and reading skills speaking and listening skills also receive attention, although to a lesser extent. Aspects such as the influence of reader schemata on the understanding of a text, the reading process and the development of a reading strategy are addressed. As far as writing is

278

General

concerned, aspects such as cohesion, coherence, reference techniques and writing as a process (planning, writing, editing, rewriting) are dealt with. The academic literacy modules are presented interactively and the students usually work in groups on a variety of activities. The contents of these modules are compiled in co-operation with the respective faculties and therefore are subject specific as far as is possible.

11.7.4 Professional language skills The Centre offers a wide range of workshops and other courses on the production and quality of business texts.

11.7.5 Support for lecturers The Language Centre offers language acquisition and language development workshops for lecturers on an ad hoc basis. Other forms of support are also available, including advice and/or workshops on a wide range of topics (language acquisition, reading and writing development, communication, image formation, translation and editing of class notes, interpreting, language planning, multilingualism, etc.)

11.7.6 Services in the e-learning environment Supplementary teaching and learning material in the field of academic literacy development already forms part of the e-learning offering. Furthermore, the University‟s e-teaching system (WebStudies) has already been used as an integral part of at least the credit-bearing offering. Advisory material is also available on the Centre‟s website.

12. Telematic Services The functioning of the Division for Telematic Services is led by the outwardsfocused institutional vision of the University. The Division enhances the virtual mobility of geographically dispersed students to broaden their participation in the academic offering of Stellenbosch University. A key aspect of Stellenbosch University‟s vision is to provide greater access to prospective students – especially those who want to combine a professional career with further postgraduate studies to maximise their potential. To support students to become part of a critical mass of intellectuals, technology-enhanced alternative access routes to the University have been put in place. The enhancement of the students‟ virtual mobility blurs the customary divide between face-to-face and off-campus educational opportunities, while the barriers often set by location and time are reduced. This flexible learning strategy relies on a unique technology platform that integrates satellite, mobile, web-based and video conference technologies. This creates a continuum of learning opportunities, ranging from synchronous to asynchronous education. In fact, numerous postgraduate and short courses at Stellenbosch already utilise this integrated platform with great success to create virtual learning spaces as part of a blended learning approach. The Division works closely with various academic support services to enable academic departments to provide students with academic support in a virtual environment, particularly with regard to postgraduate programmes and continued education, as part of the total multimode teaching learning strategy of the University. The Division‟s services, some in collaboration with other service departments, provide support to academic activities in all the core performance areas of the University, e.g.: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

Support of research on virtual learning spaces A well-equipped studio for interactive telematic broadcasts Use of more than 20 learning centres for student participation Utilisation of web-based teaching and learning technologies Integration of multimedia applications

6. 7. 8. 9.

Use of video conference facilities Production of video clips for integration with live broadcasts Mobile camera unit for off-site recordings Distribution of learning material

Private companies and welfare organisations are increasingly depending on the University‟s telematic platform to establish cost-effective and appropriate communication networks in their respective environments. In this regard, the Division is becoming an active role player in the development of the emerging new South African society.

13. The University Archives The University Archives, which came into being in 1996, house some of the oldest documents relating to the history of the University. Reflected in these documents are all the stages of institutional growth - from the Stellenbosch Boys‟ High School (Paul Roos Gymnasium), through Stellenbosch College and Victoria College, to the present University of Stellenbosch, which was established in 1918. The University‟s archival materials consist mainly of written documents originating with the Council and Senate, and other administrative and academic components of the University. These documents include Council and Senate minutes and non-active staff records. The oldest of the documents, a set of minutes, dates back to 1864. Our collection of minutes of the governing bodies of the Boys‟ High School, Stellenbosch College and Victoria College is virtually complete, ranging from 1876 to the present. These documents are supplemented by financial records and registers dating from the late nineteenth century. As well as preserving written documents and sources, the Archives house the very extensive Watson-Lockley and Edrich collections of glass negatives and photographs, which can be purchased via the University‟s e-shop. A large number of documents, including Council and Senate minutes dating to the establishment of the University, have been converted to digital format in order to facilitate better access to the archival material. Other materials are also being digitised to facilitate better access to archival materials. The University Archives resorts under the Registrar and work very closely with the Post and Filing Section, where documents are stored pending their transfer to the Archives. The Archives also welcome donations of documents and photographs that have a bearing on the history of the University and its community life from former students and personnel.

14. The University Museum The University Museum comprises the Sasol Art Museum in the Eben Dönges Centre (in Ryneveld Street) and the US Art Gallery (cnr Dorp and Bird Streets). Both these buildings are national monuments. The primary focus of this division is community interaction, which is achieved in a professional manner by applying the museum functions of collecting, preserving and disclosing. The different collections are built up and maintained in climatologically controlled rooms in the Sasol Art Gallery and researched so as to present them in exhibitions and a variety of educational programmes. The museum hours are as follows: Mondays 10:00 - 16:30; Tuesdays to Saturdays 09:00 - 16:30. The US Art Gallery specifically creates a platform for exhibitions of work by teaching staff and students, and also by well-known artists from all over the country. The exhibitions are presented in conjunction with guided tours or workshops by the artists. The visiting hours are: Mondays to Fridays, 09:00 - 17:00; Saturdays, 09:00 13:00.
