CONTINUANCE

Student continuance in this Master’s program will be governed by the following criteria:

1. Students will have a maximum of four assessment opportunities per course unit, two per academic year (February/June or September/December sessions), provided that the program continues to be offered.

For the purpose of counting assessment opportunities, only the sessions in which the student has been graded will be considered.

2. To ensure a minimum academic performance that guarantees reasonable progress, the maximum period of continuance is set at 4 years.

3. Students who exhaust the maximum number of assessment opportunities per course unit or the maximum years of continuance may request—before October 31—an additional (grace or extraordinary) assessment opportunity in order to continue their studies in the same Master’s program. This request must be addressed to the Coordinator, who will submit it to the competent University body for resolution.

4. Once the maximum number of assessment opportunities or years of continuance has been exhausted, the student’s academic record in this Master’s program will be closed, without prejudice to the possibility of enrolling in a different postgraduate degree.
