7 GENERAL INFORMATION Restructuring and transitional measures The Faculty of Theology is involved in a process of restructuring of theological programmes during the period This entails the phasing in of new programmes and curricula, as well as the phasing out of some of the existing courses. Selection A selection procedure takes place prior to admission to any degree programme in this Faculty. Students who do not pass a sufficient number of modules at the end of the first year of study to be admitted to the second year of study, have to apply for re-admission. Admission Any person who wishes to register at the University for the first time, or after an interruption of studies, should apply or re-apply for admission. Application for admission to all programmes in the Faculty of Theology closes on 30 September. Statement of symbols or academic record When registering at this University for the first time, a candidate has to submit a record of symbols obtained for each subject in the Grade 12 examination. Candidates who studied previously at other tertiary institutions have to submit an official academic record. Medium of instruction In conducting its business, the University uses two official languages, namely Afrikaans and English. In formal education, the medium of instruction is either Afrikaans or English, or both of these languages, provided that there is a demand and that it is academically and economically justifiable. However, it remains the student's responsibility to ascertain on an annual basis in which language a programme and its modules are presented. In respect of administrative and other services, a student has the right to choose whether the University should communicate with him or her in Afrikaans or English. Bursaries and loans Particulars of bursaries and loans are available on request. Accommodation Applications for accommodation in university residences for a particular year should be submitted as from April 1 of the preceding year. Applications will be considered as long as vacancies exist, and prospective students are advised to apply well in advance. Please note that admission to the University does not automatically mean that lodging will also be available. Welcoming day and academic orientation week Details of the welcoming day to which all parents are cordially invited, and the subsequent academic orientation week during which all new first-year students must be present, are obtainable from the Dean of Students, University of Pretoria

Learning hours for subject courses are calculated on the basis of 40 working hours per week x 28 weeks = additional hours for evaluation = For undergraduate subject courses, the total number of learning hours per subject course are calculated using the formula: number of credits (per subject course) x 10 level (or year level): the academic level of a module which is indicated in its code module: a defined aspect of a subject which forms a whole; in this yearbook, module denotes a unit which extends over a term (or seven weeks), unless differently noted module code: consists of an equal number of capitals and digits, which indicate the name of the course, the year of study and the level of the course package: a group of modules which are connected and share a particular focus and which are taken by students as an area of specialisation within a programme package co-ordinator: the individual responsible for organising, compiling and arranging the teaching of and guidance with a particular package performance mark: the mark awarded to a student on the basis of tests, class work, practical work or any other work which was done in a module or subject course programme: a coherent number of modules which lead to the acquisition of a specific qualification (certificate, diploma or degree); coherent elements and actions of education and training which lead to a specific outcome or set of outcomes programme manager: the individual responsible for the overhead management, organisation and composition of a particular programme, together with the packages that make up the programme qualification: the (career-orientated) outcome of a programme which leads to a diploma or degree registration: the process a candidate is required to complete to be admitted as a student of the University or for admission to a study programme regulation for admission: includes a provision regarding the selection process semester course/module: a course/module that extends over one semester subject: a demarcated field of study of which one or more courses may be chosen subject course: a defined aspect of a subject which forms a whole subject course code: consists of an equal number of capitals and digits, which indicate the name of the course, the year of study, the period of study and the level of the course syllabus: the division of the study material for a specific module or course, according to the regulations tentamen: an oral discussion comprised of teaching and evaluation elements weighted average: the weighted average is composed of the marks of the various modules (or courses), weighted with the credits of each module (or course) as a fraction of the total number of credits for the semester or year year course/module: a course/module that extends over one year (two semesters) 5

10 REGULATIONS AND CURRICULA The rules for degrees, diplomas and certificates here published are subject to change and may be amended prior to the commencement of the academic year in Admission to diploma or undergraduate study 1.1 General To register for a first diploma or bachelor's degree at the University, a candidate must submit for admission to diploma studies, a Grade 12-certificate for admission to bachelor studies, a Grade 12-certificate with matriculation exemption. In addition to this, the candidate must comply with the specific admission requirements as prescribed in the admission regulations and the faculty regulations of the departments. It is expected of every new undergraduate student who wishes to register at the University of Pretoria, to do a language proficiency test. Based on the results of this test, the student will be enrolled in language development courses that have to be passed before the qualification will be awarded. In exceptional circumstances other modules as approved by the Dean may substitute the language development modules. NB: Grade 12-examination... refers to the final matriculation examination The following persons may also be considered for admission: (i) A candidate who is in possession of a certificate, which is deemed by the University to be equivalent to the required Grade 12-certificate, can be considered for admission to diploma studies. (ii) A candidate who is in possession of a certificate, which is deemed by the University to be equivalent to the required Grade 12-certificate with university exemption can be considered for admission to bachelor studies. (iii) Note: A conditional exemption certificate does not grant admission to bachelor's study. However, in certain circumstances some of the faculties do accept a conditional exemption on the basis of mature age. Candidates are advised to contact the specific faculty administration in this regard. (iv) A candidate who is a graduate from another tertiary institution or has been granted the status of a graduate of such an institution can be considered for admission to undergraduate studies. (v) A candidate who passes an entrance examination, which is prescribed by the University from time to time, can be considered for admission to the relevant programme The Senate may limit the number of students allowed to register for a programme, in which case the Dean concerned may, at his own discretion, select from the students who qualify for admission, those who may be admitted Subject to faculty regulations and the stipulations of General regulations G.1.3 and G.26, a candidate will only be admitted to postgraduate bachelor s studies, if he or she is already in possession of a recognised bachelor s degree. 1.2 Requirements for specific modules or subject courses A student who registers for a subject course or module which is offered by another faculty, must familiarise him- or herself with the admission requirements for the 6

11 particular subject courses or modules (see yearbook of that faculty), as well as subminima for examinations, supplementary examinations, etc. The requirements for modules offered by the Faculty of Theology for programmes leading to qualifications are described in Regulation T.13 (on page 35). A candidate with Grade 12, but without exemption, may apply for admission to the University Diploma in Theology (Dipl Theol), provided that he or she has passed four approved Grade 12-subjects, of which at least two subjects at higher grade (with the exception of a second language) must have been passed with at least 50% (D symbol). A candidate without a Grade 12 certificate may also apply for admission to undergraduate studies, provided that he or she reaches the age of 23 by 31 December of the year in which he or she wishes to commence studies, and provided that he or she has passed four approved grade 12 subjects, of which at least two subjects at higher grade (with the exception of a second language) must have been passed with at least 50% (D symbol). A special application form is available on request. However, all such candidates will be required to write a potential test. The Dean will make the final decision regarding admission based on the results of the potential test. 2. Registration for a particular year of study At the beginning of an academic year, a student registers for all the modules he or she intends taking in that particular year (whether these are first-semester, secondsemester or year modules). Changes to the selection of modules may be made at the beginning of the second semester with the Dean's approval. A student may only register for modules that will fit in on the lecture, test and examination timetables. Should a student be prepared to attend one course or module after hours to avoid clashes on the timetables, the approval of the Dean is not required. (This will only be possible if the course or module in question is offered full-time and after hours.) If a module does not attract enough registrations in order to be presented economically, the Dean may decide to withdraw it. The affected students will be informed in time to enable them to register for an alternative module. 3. Course credits for unregistered students There are students who attend lectures, write tests and examinations and in this manner earn marks, but have either not registered for courses or have not registered as students at all. These marks will not be communicated to any student before he/she has provided proof of enrolment. A student cannot obtain any credits in a specific academic year for a course passed in this manner during a previous academic year and for which he/she was not registered. This arrangement applies even where the student is prepared to pay the tuition fees. 4. Examination admission and pass requirements A performance mark of at least 40% is required in order to be admitted to the examination in a module, with the exception of first semester modules at 100-level for which the requirement is 30%. Excluding cases where faculty regulations require a higher percentage, a subminimum of 40% is required in the examination in each module. A final mark of at least 50% is required to pass. The pass mark for an essay is at least 50%. The stipulations of G (a) regarding requirements for theses apply mutatis mutandis to essays. 7

12 4.1 Subminima in examinations Where applicable, the subminima required in examinations appear in the regulations of the qualification in question and in the syllabi of the modules required for that qualification. 4.2 Examinations The examinations for modules take place at the end of such modules. The examinations for semester modules take place at the end of the semester. The examinations for year modules take place in October/November, except where such modules are presented according to a block system, in which case the examinations take place at the end of the particular block period. 4.3 Ancillary examinations After completion of an examination and before the examination results are published, the examiners may summon a student for an ancillary examination on particular aspects of the work of that course or module. 4.4 Re-marking of examination papers (also consult Reg G.14) After an examination, departments give feedback to students about the framework used by the examiners during the examination. The heads of departments determine the feedback process. Students may apply for re-marking of an examination paper within 14 calendar days of commencement of lectures in the next semester. The prescribed fee has to be paid. The paper will then be re-marked by an examiner appointed by the Head of the Department. 4.5 Supplementary examinations (a) Supplementary examinations take place after the regular examinations, as scheduled by the Dean. (b) To pass a supplementary examination, a student must obtain a minimum of 50%. (c) The highest final percentage a student can obtain in a supplementary examination is 50%. 4.6 Special examinations A student who has complied with all the requirements for a degree, with the exception of a maximum of four semester or two year courses or modules in which a final mark of at least 40% has been obtained, may be admitted to a special examination at any time prior to the scheduled examinations in the relevant modules. 4.7 Examination policy The examination policy of the Faculty of Theology is available on request. It is displayed on the official notice boards in Theology Building and is brought to the students attention from time to time. 8

13 T.1 PROGRAMMES IN THE FACULTY OF THEOLOGY WHICH LEAD TO DIPLO- MAS AND DEGREES (a) (b) (c) (d) General The programmes of the Faculty of Theology are aimed at theological training with a view to church ministry. Some offer general training and formation, which can be used by churches as basis for church-specific training and formation. Other programmes, which are offered in co-operation with church partners, offer both generally formative and church-specific formative theological training. The programmes can be divided into two further categories: those meant for early specialisation [BA(Theol), BA(Hons)(Theol), leading to MA(Theol), PhD] those offering a broad, general education to a reasonably advanced stage, before focussing on a specific field of specialisation and research (BTh, MDiv, MTh, leading to DD). Degrees and diplomas The following degrees are conferred in the Faculty (minimum duration of study given in brackets). Remarks concerning restructuring and the phasing in/out of curricula and programmes are printed in italics. (i) University Diploma in Theology Dipl Theol (3 years) (ii) Baccalaureus Artium (Theology) BA(Theol) (3 years) (iii) Baccalaureus Artium(Honores)(Theology) BA(Hons)(Theol) (1 year) (iv) Baccalaureus Theologiae BTh (4 years) (v) Postgraduate Diploma in Theology Postgr Dipl Theol (1 year) exit point at the end of the fifth year (MDiv and MTh) (vi) Magister Philosophiae in Applied Theology MPhil (2 years) (vii) Magister Divinitatis MDiv (2 years) (viii) Magister Artium(Theology) MA(Theol) (ix) Magister Theologiae MTh (x) Philosophiae Doctor PhD (xi) Doctor Divinitatis DD. General Regulations G.1 to G.15 apply to a bachelor s degree. Registration for qualifications not yet approved Should a candidate wish to register for a degree that has not received official approval yet, the Dean may identify an existing degree programme for which the candidate can register. The undertaking is that the curricula and modules of the as yet not approved qualification may be taken, and that the registration will be changed officially and administratively as soon as the particular qualification receives approval. Furthermore, the assumption is that the fees payable to the University will be calculated in terms of the last-mentioned degree qualification, and not in terms of the degree for which the student initially registered. Computer and information literacy The Faculty of Theology regards computer and information literacy as important skills which students have to master during their studies. It is therefore compulsory for new students to register for and pass the modules CIL 171, 172, 174 in the first two years of study in order to become computer and information literate. Students who already possess these skills, may do an exemption examination. 9

It also builds a basis for practical training and formation with a view to the ministry. Curriculum (aa) offers wide opportunities to compile one s own curriculum. A student who registers for this programme, has to submit his or her curriculum to the Dean for approval at the beginning of each academic year. Duration Three years. Curriculum The following table indicates the minimum credit values allowed in the curriculum. However, in practice the credit values may be higher, especially when modules from other faculties are included which have higher credit values. Yr Level Total credits Number modules Credits per module I II III Total Note: The modules referred to are offered per quarter. This structure is mutates mutandis to curricula (bb) and (cc) where other course units are applicable. Language proficiency: In terms of (p 6) the following additional modules must be completed during the programme: EOT 151, EOT 152, EOT 153, EOT 154. (Candidates who passed the Language Proficiency Test are exempted.) Computer and information literacy: In terms of T.1(d) the following additional modules must be completed during the first two years of study: CIL171,172, 174. When compiling a curriculum or selecting modules, the following must be taken into account: If this programme is followed at a seminary or college (in terms of an agreement between such institution and the University of Pretoria), the 10

15 freedom of selection of modules as offered by this regulation may be limited in accordance with in-house curricular arrangements. Certain modules are prerequisites to later modules. See T.13 (p 35) for description of modules, credit values and prerequisites applicable. If a module does not attract enough student registrations to be presented economically, the Dean may decide to withdraw it. Students will be advised in time of such decisions in order to register for an alternative module. It may be advisable that an equal number of modules be selected for each of the terms to ensure a balanced spread. The timetable of lectures must be consulted.

T.4. PROGRAMME WHICH LEADS TO BACCALAUREUS THEOLOGIAE BTh (Code ) (a) (b) (c) General This programme provides theological training and formation aimed at the needs of churches. It has two aspects, namely a general denominational aspect and a specific denominational aspect. The structure of the programme is determined by a balance between the Biblicalscientific, historical systematic and applied dimensions of the field of Theology. The outcome which the programme aims to achieve, is theoretically supported formation aimed at a broad spectrum of ministerial needs. For this purpose certain elements of the programme are presented in partnership with churches that bought into the programme. The programme offers the option to include non-theological modules. A student who registers for this programme has to submit his or her curriculum to the Dean for approval at the beginning of each year. Duration Four years. Curriculum The following table indicates the minimum credit values allowed in the curriculum. However, in practice the credit values may be higher, especially when modules from other faculties are included which have higher credit values.
