Award Regulations
3. The Dean of Engineering and Forestry reserves the
right to decline entry to a student who has been of-
fered a place in the Professional Examination of the
BE(Hons) degree and who has not completed his or
her enrolment by the Friday preceding the first day
of lectures of Semester 1.
4. Special admission on the basis of clause (d) must
be made by written application to the Dean of En-
gineering and Forestry where an interview may also
be required. Applicants are encouraged to approach
the Dean for a copy of the entry standard guideline
at the earliest possible stage.
5. Special admission on the basis of clause (e) must
be made by written application to the Dean of
Engineering and Forestry. The Dean, in consultation
with the relevant Director of Studies, will consider
the applicant's prior learning, in particular their
preparation in Mathematics, Physics, and where
applicable Chemistry or Computer Science, and any
relevant work experience in industry.
5. Time Limitation for Degree Completion and

sion, and immediately prior to the end of their
suspension.
Notes:
1. Candidates normally enrol for full-time study un-
less there are exceptional circumstances which
prevent them from studying full time. Candidates
must apply in writing to the Dean of Engineering
and Forestry to apply for part-time study.
2. Preparatory programmes of study will not normally

year or less.
6. Class of Honours
(a) The Degree of Bachelor of Engineering with Hon-
ours may be awarded with First Class Honours, or

outstanding and meritorious achievement based
on completion of the academic requirements in
a timely manner and on the basis of academic
achievement measured by weighted GPA, as
stipulated below.
(c) To be eligible for First or Second Class Honours
a candidate must meet one of the time limit
requirements:
i. if entering the programme at the First Profes-
sional Examination, he or she must complete
the three professional years in no more than
four years of study.
ii. if entering the programme at the Second
Professional Examination, he or she must
complete the Second and Third Professional
Examinations in no more than three years
of study.
iii. candidates approved into part-time study
must complete the Second and Third Profes-
sional Examination in no more than four
years of study. Approval into part-time study
must be obtained prior to entering the Sec-
ond Professional Examination.
(d) The class of honours will be determined as a
weighted average of the candidates GPA, with
a 20% weighting on the Second Professional
Examination and 80% on the Third Professional
Examination. The weighted GPA will be comput-
ed to the first decimal place using the algorithm
of ‘round half up towards infinity'. Only first
attempts at a course, or its substitute, will be
considered in the calculation.
(e) The classes and divisions of honours will be:
i. First Class Honours, weighted GPA in the
range 7.0 – 9.0;
ii. Second Class Honours Division I, weighted
GPA in the range 5.5 – 6.9;
iii. Second Class Honours Division II, weighted
GPA in the range 4.0 – 5.4.

recommend that it be presented for the Degree of
Master of Forestry Science. In this case the Dean
of Engineering and Forestry may, if required for
the award of the degree, exempt the coursework
component of the degree.
Where a candidate is taking the degree by Thesis
or by Examination and Thesis the candidate will
present a thesis embodying the results of an
investigation conducted by the candidate in a
subject approved by the Dean and satisfy the
examiners therewith and, if so required, take an oral
examination on the subject of the thesis.
