Additional information

• Students are expected to attend all regular
  lessons and take all UTs for their enrolled
  modules. There is an allowance of the best 13 out
  of 15 Daily Grades considered in the computation
  of the Module Grade, and this allowance caters
  for illness and normal medical leave. There is no
  need to submit routine Medical Certificates for
  consideration, as the allowance has already been
  made.

21

• UTs are a means of formal assessment in RP, and
  all students are expected to attend all UTs
  without fail. Students who are absent from any UT
  will be deemed to have failed (i.e., given an X
  grade and zero score) in that UT. No allowance
  can be made for routine Medical Certificates, as
  students will have missed the opportunity to take
  their UT, and it is not possible to allow
  re-takes of UTs. Students should therefore take
  care that they are in good health in order to
  prevent their absence from UTs.

• Students are responsible for the submission of
  the necessary document(s) to their respective
  Diploma's Programme Chair as early as possible.
• The Programme Chair will then submit the
  documents to the LOA Panel for approval. Once the
  LOA Panel approves the LOA, Office of the
  Registrar (ORG) will inform the student through
  his/her RP email account. Students are to check
  their RP email account for the status of their
  LOA application and their eligibility to take the
  Supplementary UT (if the approved LOA falls on
  the students UT day).
