for the student to be eligible to attend the final examination
(90% for all placement/practicum subjects in the School
of Health Science; 100% for placement subjects of the Social
Work programmes; in other words, all instances of absenteeism
need to be made up). For subjects for which there is no
final examination, the minimum attendance is required to
pass the subject.

Other non-degree programmes may designate
their own minimum attendance requirements. Students who
