The student may only follow the second-, third- or fourth-year level of study on condition that the first-second- or third-year level respectively has been successfully completed.
The Academic Literacy and Communication Studies programme requires the successful completion of two instructional offerings, A and B, in this specific order. A distinction (75% or more) in instructional offering A ensures exemption from instructional offering B. A pass (without distinction) means that the student must pass instructional offering B in order to meet the prerequisite for the learning programme. Failing instructional offering A means that the student must re-register for instructional offering A in a subsequent semester. No student will be allowed to graduate without completing the Academic Literacy and Communication Studies programme.
This learning programme is offered on a full-time basis.

General
It is compulsory for students to adhere strictly to the stipulated dress code. The Hotel School insists that its students conform to the international standards of positive, professional attitude. Only students possessing a combination of sufficient knowledge of the instructional offering and a positive, professional attitude merit a diploma. Lecturers continuously assess students as far as knowledge of instructional offerings and professional attitude are concerned.
It is expected of students to participate in community engagement projects initiated by the Hotel School in order to advance their field of expertise and their ability to work under pressure in industry situations. A student who is absent from a function without a valid excuse may be denied admission to Hospitality Work-integrated Learning II & III.
Involvement in functions organised by the Hotel School forms part of the instructional offering. All students are to be involved in departmental functions organised by the Operational Manager. All functions involving the Department are the responsibility of the Operational Manager, and are approved at a departmental meeting.
It is expected of the student to participate in community engagement projects initiated by the Department of Hospitality Management in order to advance their field of expertise.
Any application for permission to be absent from class due to illness, death of a family member or another urgent matter is to be submitted to the Secretary of the Hotel School. A student who is absent from two practical sessions in the same instructional offering without a valid excuse risks being denied admission to the final assessment in that particular instructional offering.
After successful completion of this qualification, the National Diploma will be awarded during an official graduation ceremony of CUT.
