a. Assessment Component Mapping
    The component of your previous studies must at least be partially exam based with a minimum assessment     
    breakdown of:-

• 50% coursework
• 50% examination
  

     You are required to present evidence of the breakdown by submitting your relevant certified 
     documents to the Admissions Office.

b. Institution of Higher Learning
    The recognised (or accredited) institutions of higher learning where your previous studies were obtained 
    are stated below in order/rank:

•  Public institutions of higher learning
•  Private institutions of higher learning
•  Private non-profit institutions of higher learning
  

a. You may apply for exemption if you intend to pursue a MEDIU course but have taken other examinations with
    subject(s) that are similar or equivalent to any of MEDIU’s subject(s).

b. You may apply for specific modules to be exempted. However, exemptions are limited to a maximum of 50% 
    of the total subject credits for the award from which you are seeking exemption.

c. MEDIU practises the “a credit earned is a credit gained” policy where you may apply to seek module-for-
    module exemptions without having to complete a particular previous level of studies.

   This policy embraced by MEDIU is based on the recognition that many students may choose to temporarily
   cease their previous studies not because of the inability to cope but based on reasons such as:-

•  financial difficulties
•  family commitments
•  different learning curves for each individual
  
  

   We believe that such a policy will enable and facilitate us to heed the call for life-long learning.

d. Your application for exemption(s) must be lodged with the Admissions Office and must be accompanied
    by two certified true copies of:-

•  Exemption Application Form
•  National Registration Identity Card / Passport
•  Award scroll (if any)
  
•  Transcripts / results slip
•  Course structure
•  Detail syllabi
•  Testimonials / references (where applicable)
  
  

     The Admissions Office will retain a copy of the above, while the other set will be sent to the relevant
     faculty.

e. The Assessment and Awards (Examinations) Committee will base their decision on the following criteria:-

•  Similarity of learning objectives, learning outcomes and syllabus content 
     (minimum 80% match)
•  Assessment methods, procedures and weightage (coursework and / or examinations)
•  Standard and level of award.
•  Status of awarding institution.
•  Accreditation by MQA or other recognised quality assurance agency / body.
  
  

      The decision of the Assessment and Awards (Exams) Committee is final.

f. Subject Exemption Fees

•  here will be a nominal non-refundable fee of USD40 for purposes of administration 
      and evaluation of the exemption.
  

g. Once your application for exemption(s) is approved, an exemption fee will be levied for each exempted 
    subject. The exemption fee is also non-refundable if:-

•  You subsequently change your mind and withdraw from the course for whatever reasons, or
  
•    If you fail the rest of the subjects for which you have sat for examinations at a particular centre.
