Discontinued not to count as failure (DNF)
This does not count as an attempt at the particular unit of study
but does appear on the candidate's academic record.
In order to have a unit of study enrolment recorded as "discontinued – not to count as failure":
1. notice must be given to the Faculty of Arts Office on or before the deadline of
* Friday 27 April 2007;
* Friday 7 September 2007; or
2. after the deadline, evidence is produced of serious illness or misadventure.
Students should note, however, the regulations concerning satisfactory progress. Discontinuation – not to count as failure in a unit or units of study does not mean that the student's progress is considered to be satisfactory.
