A process of validation
It is a process in which evidence of performance is gathered and evaluated against agreed criteria in order to make a judgement as to whether the learning required for the achievement of specific outcomes is taking place. During assessment, an assessor collects evidence to identify the level of knowledge/skills acquired so that he or she can make decisions related to the student and/or the module/learning programme, depending on the purpose of the assessment. All students will be assessed formatively and summatively.
CTU will:
CTU understands that certain students deal with various physical or emotional problems and we therefore advise students to get professional counselling to guide and support them. Please obtain the counselling support detail from your academic principal/ColCampus/notice boards.
“Credit accumulation” means the totalling of relevant credits required to complete a qualification or a part-qualification. Credit accumulation is the process where students are able to register learning outcomes achieved in one programme at one date and have them counted towards the full programme at a later date. This can take place within sub-systems, for example subject, programme, department, faculty, institution, awarding body, educational sector, occupational sector and/or country.
Credit transfer” means the vertical, horizontal or diagonal relocation of credits towards a qualification or part-qualification on the same or different level, usually between different programmes, departments or institutions. Credit transfer is the process where students are able to register learning outcomes achieved in one programme at one date and have them counted towards another programme at a later date. This transfer can operate between programmes, but more importantly between organisations or sectors.

The pass mark for an international preliminary exam is 80%. If a student fails this exam, he/she will not be allowed to write the international exam. The preliminary exam is there to prepare and evaluate the students in preparation for their international exams. Students will be given two attempts at the preliminary exam. After the second failed attempt the campus manager will contact the parents to discuss the academic progress of the student in question.
The pass mark for an international exam depends on the nature and number of the exam, as well as the specific exam provider (e.g. Microsoft, CompTIA, Cisco, Adobe, CIW, Autodesk, etc.).
Should the students fail any one of their international exams and wish to rewrite the international exam, he or she will have to do so in their own time and at their own cost.
International exams are scheduled in a specific order (per programme), therefore, a student will not be allowed to continue to the next international exam if he/she did not pass a previous exam as per programme schedule.
A student will not be allowed to rewrite an exam which he or she has passed in an attempt to gain a higher mark.
