BACHELOR OF ARTS HONOURS: EXTENSION PROCESSES

As per the rules of combination for the BA Honours in Visual Communication programme, a student who has failed Critical Discourses or Research Methodologies may not continue with the Research Paper or Creative Production components. The proposal (the summative assessment for Research Methodologies) will also need to be passed successfully and approved in order to continue with the course.

Apart from Research Methodologies and Critical Discourses, where standard reassessment procedures apply, the procedures around reassessment for Creative Production and Research Paper, work differently. An Open Window Supervisor has the right to recommend against the submission of a paper / project they deem unfit for examination at Honours level. As a result, an extension will be possible in June, September or November. A student will need to extend if a supervisor suggests it (June, September or November).

For more information on the rules regarding extension processes, please refer to the OW Policies on Postgraduate Studies.
