A grade of Near Passes may be awarded for no more than two engineering units to a maximum of 10 credit points at Level 1 and in one engineering unit to a maximum of 6 credit points at Level 2. A grade of Near Passes may be awarded for a unit in which a mark in the range 45-49% has been obtained. Otherwise, a grade of N shall be awarded. No Near Passes will be awarded for any units at any later years.

Where a department believes that an Near Passes grade in a designated unit provides an inadequate academic preparation for progressing to a further unit for which a pass in the designated unit is a prerequisite, the department may, with the approval of the faculty board, prescribe that a pass or better must be obtained in the designated unit before progressing to the further unit.

For BA/BE, BCom/BE, BE/BBus and Com, BE/LLB, BE/BTech(IndDes) and BE/BDes(IndDes)

In the BE component of the double degree, a grade of Near Passes may be awarded for no more than two units to a maximum of 10 credit points at Level 1 and in one unit to a maximum of 6 credit points at Level 2. No Near Passes will be awarded at any later levels. In the other component of the double degree, the policy of the associated faculty applies.

For Bsc/BE

A grade of Near Passes may be awarded for no more than one science unit and one engineering unit to a maximum of 10 credit points at Level 1 and one engineering unit to a maximum of 6 credit points at Level 2. No Near Passes will be awarded at any later levels.
