8 8 CAREER PATH MCSE: Server Infrastructure MCSA: Exam : Installing and Configuring Windows Server 2012 Exam : Administering Windows Server 2012 Exam : Configuring Advanced Windows Server 2012 Services + Exam : Designing and Implementing a Server Infrastructure + Exam : Implementing an Advanced Server Infrastructure MCSE: Private Cloud Exam : Configuring and Deploying a Private Cloud with System Center Exam : Monitoring and Operating a Private Cloud with System Center 2012 ASSESSMENT All students shall be sufficiently informed about all aspects of assessments applicable to the different subjects they have registered for (refer to study guides). Vital information to be issued to students include the pass requirements, the learning outcomes, the required standards of performance (assessment criteria) as well as the methods, delivery dates of assignment, the evidence of the learning process and/or product, assessment results as well as evidence of feedback. Prestige Academy follows a system of a combination of criterion-referenced assessment (assessment against measurable criteria), rather than only measuring achievement against the marks of the best candidate in class or any other type of subjective indicators. In all cases assessment shall comply with universal principals, including: appropriateness, validity, reliability, fairness, sufficiency, authenticity, consistency, and feasibility

9 Assessment shall be treated as an integrated and vital part of the education and training system. This implies amongst other that assessment will be done throughout teaching and learning, rather than at the end of a subject only. To ensure sufficient proof a student s competence after completion of a programme, all members of academic staff shall use a combination of formative assessments (conducting assessment at any time during the delivery of a subject) and summative assessment (conducted at the end of a subject) by way of a practical and/or theoretical examination. The students will receive a study guide per subject on Moodle and the Intranet that will indicate assessment layout. The results of both formative and summative assessments shall count towards the final progress mark. Students who fail to hand in assignments, write class tests and formal tests, will jeopardise the final mark obtained for the subject. The student will be allowed to write the examination whether or not he/she has handed in assignments, wrote class tests and formal tests, but such a student will not merely pass because he/she passed the examination only. CERTIFICATION RULES All subjects in the programme are compulsory and therefore a student must successfully complete all subjects in the programme to be awarded a degree. There may be pre-requisite subjects to advance to a next level (e.g. moving from year 1 to year 2). The primary indicator of competence is the achievement of 50% in the summative assessment and an overall 50% for each individual subject (this includes the assessment of all relevant learning outcomes). It is therefore evident that students must hand in all assignments, write all class and formal tests as well as write the examination. Grading of final achievement shall be based on a calculated value of the combination of formative and summative assessment results, and expressed by way of a grade symbol, namely pass, merit, and distinction. The cut-off points to determine achievement of a pass, merit or distinction grade for a certificate and diploma programme are as follows: 50-59% a pass, 60-79% a merit, and % a distinction. In the case of a degree programme, the "cut-off" points will be as follows: pass 50-59%, merit 60-74% and distinction %. The Certification Board reserves the right to adjust the final grade of a candidate, e.g. as recommended by an external moderator, or after an appeal judgment where all assessment results as well as the class attendance track record of the candidate concerned shall be taken into account. ASSESSMENT APPEALS All students have the right to appeal against the results of any assessment, e.g. when a NYA (Not Yet Achieved) grade has been awarded for a particular outcome or assessment criterion in an assignment. Such appeals shall be in writing on the appeal form that can be obtained from the office of the Academic Manager. It must show full identification details (i.e. name of the student, student number, programme enrolled for, relevant subject, and a brief motivation for the appeal. The motivation shall be clear and specific, and preferably refer to the principals of assessment (fairness, sufficiency, etc). The application must be handed in at the office of the Academic Manager, ONLY when the final grade or mark of a subject has been communicated to the candidate. The student shall be given feedback on the outcome of the appeal within fifteen working days. ACCESS CREDITS Prestige Academy will facilitate articulation by students to and from other registered institutions by way of the Access Credit (recognition of prior learning) process. Applicants wishing to transfer from one programme to another may apply for access credit accumulation and transfer. Credits will only be considered where the completed subjects are of similar outcome, content and assessment criteria. Students must apply for exemption from such subjects with an official academic record as well as subject outcome and assessment criteria. No more than 50% of the credits of a completed qualification may be transferred. CHANGES IN COURSE/SOFTWARE Prestige Academy reserves the right to modify/change any aspect of a learning programme, including timetables, teaching-learning methods, assessment, resources such as prescribed textbooks, or discontinue a particular programme or subject within a given programme, and replace it with a more suitable alternative (e.g. a more up-to-date text book, or computer software) as long as it is to the benefit of the students concerned in terms of their knowledge gain and ultimate competence. If a student is in his/her 1st year of study, and subjects change in their 2nd/3rd year of study, the students will automatically follow the changed syllabus as from the 2nd year. TRANSFER TO ANOTHER PROGRAM If a student desires to transfer from one programme or subject to another, he/she must apply in writing to do so within the first 7 days after commencement of classes. This transfer cannot be guaranteed as many factors first have to be taken into consideration. They are: availability of space in the classroom where the student wants to be transferred to (the new qualification) the amount of teaching time and work the student has missed out on portfolio requirements to be adhered to prior to commencement of course 9

10 10 Irrespective of the programme the student is transferring to, a minimum administration fee of R is payable. The student will also be required to purchase textbooks for the programme they are transferring to. No copies of text books are handed out due to a student not having the correct textbook on time. If textbooks have been ordered and purchased for the original programme the student enrolled for, no refunds will be given on returns. In the case of textbooks to be imported, courier fees are charged and payable to Prestige Academy before the transfer can take place. Additional fees for notes to be printed will be charged. In the case where a student will need extra classes a fee of R per hour will be levied. TRANSFER FROM ONE PROGRAMME TO ANOTHER Students who have been provisionally approved on their interim grade 12/National Senior Certificate marks to study towards e.g. a Diploma and do not meet these requirements after the final grade 12 marks are published, will be transferred to a lower level, e.g. a Certificate (if available) or the student can select an alternative qualification. The availability of physical class space applies. Should your grade 12 results meet the admission requirements of the qualification enrolled for, your registration status will automatically change from provisionally to unconditional acceptance SPECIAL LEARNING NEEDS Students are allowed to apply for amanuensis assessments to accommodate special learning needs due to some or other permanent impairment such as dyslexia, reading abilities, etc. or temporary impairment, e.g. broken arm. They must apply in writing by completing the special learning needs application form. Students are required to apply before commencement of the programme (no later than the second week in February). Candidates must submit evidence such as a medical certificate or a report from a psychologist/physio therapist/ occupational therapist together with the registration form for application to be treated as a student with special learning needs. No late applications shall be considered. The details in the completed application form shall state the reason(s) for the application, together with the desired special arrangement e.g. additional time for writing formative (test) and summative (examination) papers. The Rector and Academic Manager will evaluate each application on merit based on the motivation and evidence submitted. Management reserves the right to request additional motivation and evidence, and not allow any special arrangements of this nature because of the lack of adequate motivation or circumstantial evidence. The nature of special arrangements shall be appropriate for the needs and circumstances of the applicant. It may include additional time for written assessments, a transcriber or oral assessment instead of the usual written assessment because of conditions such as dyslexia, reading abilities, etc. In the event of acquiring the services of an external invigilator (for purpose of reading and transcribing an examination paper), the cost per hour will be for the student s account. This Information is available from the Academic manager. A student whose application for amanuensis assessment has been approved will receive 15 minutes per hour additional time.
