Two options are provided for students taking Audit or Credit courses:
• Audit option: students participate in the module but do not submit their work for assessment and do not gain credit for accumulation purposes.
• Credit option: students submit their work for assessment by tutors and gain appropriate credit which is certified and may be used for accumulation purposes towards the completion of a Certificate, Diploma or Degree.
