studies, or the final unit of a major study and the final unit of a sub- major study (See Section H.)
3 A student who fails in a section or sections of a unit may be required to pass at supplementary examination only in such section or sections, if the department concerned so recommends.
4 Notwithstanding clauses 1, 2, and 3 above, ill-health or other serious hardship may be grounds for admission to supplementary examina- tions in all units of failure and non-assessed units. (See Notes 4 and 6.) D Special Examinations
t A student who, owing to ill-health or other circumstance, is unable to present for annual or supplementary examination, or otherwise to complete the requirements of the course, may be granted a special examination.
2 It shall be at the Principal's discretion to permit such a student to present for an examination supplementary to the special examination.
E Compensatory Pass
t A student who in a given year reaches a satisfactory level in all units except one, in which the result is close to a pass standard, may be granted a compensatory pass in this unit, but no further study in the area concerned may be undertaken. (This entails that a compensatory pass will tear be granted in either of the first or second units of a major study, or the first unit of a sub-major study.) (See I 5 and Note 3.) 2 Not more than two compensatory passes may be credited in the fourteen
units required.
3 The Principal will consider submissions on compensatory passes only after the relevant supplementary examinations.
F Failure to Cpmplete Satisfactorily the First or Second Year of the Course
t Except as provided in 2 and 3 in this section, a student shall not be permitted to undertake more than the number of units prescribed for each year of the course. (See A t.)
2 A student who can complete the course in minimum time by attempting five units in the third year may be permitted to attempt those units if the Principal so approves.
3 Ill-health and/or other serious hardship may be grounds for granting a student permission to attempt five units in the third year of his or her course if the Principal so approves. (See Notes 5 and 6.)
G Suspension or Termination of Studentship—First and Second Years
A student with failures in three units at the end of first year or second year may
I be referred to the Director of Teacher Education with a recommenda- tion for suspension for a year to repeat the subjects of failure
or
2 be referred to the Director of Teacher Education with a recommenda- tion for the termination of his or her studentship.
H Suspension or Termination of Studentship—Third Year The following is the policy of the Education Department, as stated by the Director of Teacher Education in a letter dated 3o August 1971, and confirmed by the principals at a meeting on 16 September 1g71 :
t Any studentshipholder who fails, at the end of his course to qualify for a trained teacher's qualification, shall not be given an appointment as a classified teacher for the following year.
2 In certain circumstances and on the recommendation of the Pri ncipal, a studentshipholder whose degree of failure is extremely serious may have his studentship cancelled immediately (i.e. in December) and this will terminate his membership of the teaching service. It is assumed that, in these cases, there will be various factors that have led to academic failure.
3 In the case of any studentshipholder whose failure is such that it may be remedied by further study, further Practice Teaching, and re- assessment (e.g. at special or deferred examinations) before the following t May, the studentship will be lengthened (with studentship benefits) to and including 30 April.
It is recommended that offers in the above paragraph should be limited to those students who have failed in not more than two subjects, including Practice Teaching, and who, in the opinion of the Principal, are likely to meet the required standards and to be ready to teach by May if their period of training is lengthened to 3o April. If any student in category 3 should, in fact, fail to qualify by 30 April, his studentship will be further lengthened and suspended for a period approved by the Director-General; during the period of suspension he will be required to undertake at his own expense the subjects of failure or approved equivalent subjects. Alternatively, the studentship may be cancelled.
4 In the case of any studentshipholder whose degree of failure is very serious (but not serious enough to warrant cancellation as in paragraph 2) and is of such a nature that the procedure proposed in paragraph 3 is not appropriate, the studentship will be lengthened and suspended (i.e. without studentship benefits) for the period t January to 31 December, and the student will be required to repeat the subjects of failure, or to undertake approved equivalent studies at his own expense.
I
Repetition of Failed Units and Course Review t Major Study—EducationA student who fails in any unit of Education must repeat that unit in the following year.
2 Other Major Studies
A student who fails in any unit of a major other than Education must, except as provided in 5 below, repeat that unit in the following year.
3 Sub-Major Study—English
A student who fails in either unit of English undertaken as a sub-major must repeat that unit in the following or subsequent years.
4 Other Sub-Major Studies
A student who fails in either unit of a sub-major other than English must, except as provided in 5 below, repeat that unit in the following or subsequent years.
It may be possible in areas other than the major in Education and the sub-major in English to review at the end of first or second years elections of major or sub-major areas, i.e. to relinquish a proposed major or sub-major in a fail area and to substitute a major or sub-major in a pass area originally elected as a single unit, or to convert a sub- major to a major.
Such review of major or sub-major elections at the end of first orsecond years must be approved by the Principal.
A student who fails or is granted a compensatory pass in the first or second unit of a subject elected as a major, or the first unit of a subject elected as a sub-major, may seek permission, despite the failure, to retain the subject as originally elected.
In such a case, subject to advice from and permission of the department concerned, and with the Principal's approval, the student may be permitted to relinquish the compensatory pass and repeat the failed units. (See Note 7.)
6 Single Units
A student who in first or second year fails in one single unit may be granted permission to repeat this unit in third year. (See A 3, F 2,
and F 3.)
i Subject Areas:
The Report and Recommendations of the Advisory Committee on the Three Years' Course of Training for Primary Teachers (April 1967)
includes the following:`Any other subject areas approved by the appropriate authority.' No such subject areas have yet been included in the course prescribed for this college.
2 Where, in this document, reference is made to the Principal, the following should be noted:
(a) Recommendations concerning a student's progress through the course are made in the first instance by:
The Diploma of Teaching (Primary) Course Committee on the advice of the Head or Heads of Department(s) concerned.
(b) Such recommendations are referred, for confirmation, to the Board of Studies, of which the Principal is chairman.
(c) The Principal by virtue of his responsibility to the Director of Teacher Education must ratify, revoke, or amend all decisions of the Board of Studies.
3 The necessity to repeat a failed unit of Education or English, or of a major or sub-major which the student elects to retain as such, arises from the continuous character of Diploma studies, i.e. a second or third year study may not be undertaken until the work of the previous year has reached a satisfactory standard.
4 A student who wishes to request special consideration on the grounds of ill-health or other serious hardship should do so before or immediately after the examination concerned, or before the date set for final assessment in the subject.
5
A student who requires permission to attempt five subjects in third year under provisionF 3
above must make the request not later than the third full week ofTerm I.
6 Requests for special consideration
(C
¢, F 3, and Notes 4 and 5 above) must be submitted to the Principal, in writing, and must be accompanied by confirmatory' evidence where available and medical certificate(s) where applicable.7 Except as provided in F 2, and
