A student who has been awarded credit in compensation of failed units in Years 2, 3 and 5, where the grade achieved is more than 10% below the pass grade in those failed units, may not be recommended for a degree award that is accredited under Engineering Council rules.

A student who has been awarded more than 30 credits in compensation of failed units across Years 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5, may not be recommended for a degree award that is accredited under Engineering Council rules.

A student who failed to pass one or more of the modules from the list below may not be recommended for a degree award that is accredited under Engineering Council rules: GEE101, GEE201, GEE301, GEE401, MGT388, FCE1001, FCE2001.

Where a student has met the requirements for the award of a degree under the General Regulations for First Degrees but not the requirements for the award of a degree accredited under Engineering Council rules, they may be recommended for the award of MEng Engineering Technology.
