pages 1 – 2. Take note of the respective credit requirements in Tables 02, 04, 06,
08, 10 and 12.
2. Decide on your area of specialisation and locate it in the table of Compulsory
courses pertaining to your desired qualification in Tables 01, 03, 05, 07, 09, 11 and
13.
3. Identify the credits associated with different Categories at different Levels, for
the Compulsory courses.
4. Identify the balance credit requirements for different Categories at different
Levels, with reference to the appropriate credit tables.
5. Mark the Compulsory courses for your required area of specialisation in the
Complete List of Courses in pages 35 - 39 (technology programmes) and 52 - 55
(industrial studies programme).
6. Select from the same list as in item 5 above, the additional courses to fulfil the
balance credit requirements for different Categories at different Levels as well as
the Total credit requirement. When you are selecting these additional courses pay
special attention to Prerequisites.

Faculty approved procedure) and offer courses at registration to gradually
complete the courses from lower to higher Levels through the years. This must be
done subject to maximum credit limits allowed per year.
