students must receive credit for 240 CATs points at Levels 1 and

2 and at least 100 Level 3 CATS points.

3. Students will normally be required to pass or be granted credit

for all modules in each stage before progressing to the next

stage. However, students may, at the discretion of the Pathway

Board of Examiners, be allowed to proceed from a stage if they

this will normally take place before the end of the academic year;

(b) Where a student is required to repeat assessment

components (with class attendance), this will normally take place

when the failed module is next available. If the failed module is
