Approved Programme Schedule

The approved programme schedule provides an overview of
Schedule: the programme. The details provided include: the name
of the programme, the name of award, the NFQ level of
programme and the total number of credits. For each stage of
the programme, the schedule lists the credit available for each
of the modules and the contribution to the grade of each of
the modules’ components. It also specifies the requirements for
learners to progress from one stage to another and to complete
the programme successfully. The approved programme schedule
is attached to the certificate of programme accreditation, and
is deemed to form part of the assessment regulations applying
to the programme. Without diminishing the importance of the
approved programme schedule, it is but a summary of some of
the information that should be in the programme assessment
strategy.


Any special assessment conditions (such as modules which cannot
be passed by compensation) must be included in the approved
programme schedule.
