When can I see my lecturer?
Lecturers’ consultation hours are posted next to their office doors. They are required to be in their offices at these times. Consultation hours are also announced in lectures and in course outlines. If you wish to you may make a special appointment with your lecturer. (You need to arrange this personally with him or her.)
When can I see the Head of Department?
Appointments to see the Head of Department during weekdays must please be made with the Departmental secretary, Ms Rosa Da Costa-Bezuidenhout. Her office is on the 19th floor in room 14 of the Humanities Building (HB 19-14).
What do I do if I want to change module registrations?
Module registrations are dealt with by the Faculty administration. The Humanities Faculty Administration is located in the IT building, next to the HB.
What do I do if I have test clashes?
Test dates are set by the University Timetable Department and the Faculty and are therefore ‘fixed’. The Department cannot change these dates once they have been decided upon. Students must please arrange and manage their own study programmes. (The dates are made available to students during the first week of the academic year in writing via the RED Departmental Guide.)
What do I do if I miss a test?
The Department must be provided with a valid and legitimate medical certificate within three days after the scheduled test has been written. Your medical certificate will be cross-checked by the Department in order for you to qualify for the special test which is usually written towards the end of the semester.
Are there tutorials?
There are consultation times set out (next to the tutors’ office doors on the 19th floor of HSB). Tutors will help you during these times with any queries you may have about course work. You may also make appointments to see a tutor. First, second- and third-year students are required to attend weekly tutorials. (See your RED Departmental Guide.)
What are the regulations that apply to the handing in of all assignments?
Do I qualify to be admitted?
The Department sets minimum requirements in terms of which students will be considered for admittance to the Department. Please see the conditions and the detail in this regard as provided on this web page. Meeting these requirements does not imply automatic admission. All prospective applicants are interviewed before a final decision is made.
When do students meet and when are lectures held?
Generally, lecturers will indicate the lecture times to all registered students. Please note that attendance of lectures, departmental seminars and postgraduate meetings are compulsory.
