General requirements for undergraduate degrees:

All applicants for The IIE undergraduate degree studies, including international students, are required to write the Academic and Quantitative Literacy (AQL) – National Benchmark Test (NBT), unless they:

•  have attained the age of 23 before or during the first year of registration; OR
• have been admitted on the basis of mature age; OR
• are accessing a degree with a higher certificate, 240 or 360 credit diploma or advanced certificate; OR
• have previously been admitted to degree studies elsewhere; OR
• have enrolled in the distance mode on a  programme- the writing of the NBT AQL test is recommended, but not compulsory.

A student’s Academic Literacy (AL) score of the AQL – NBT is used for placement in student support programmes and does not replace the admission requirements for a specific degree programme.
The provisions of this section do not apply to qualifications in which Introduction to Scholarship A (ITSA) and/or Introduction to Scholarship B (ITSB) are modules which bear credits.  In these cases normal assessment and completion rules apply.
For those qualifications in which ITSA/ITSB are not credit bearing modules any student who does not provide a verified AQL-NBT score of 64 or higher PRIOR to registration is automatically registered in these modules and will be billed for them where relevant.  Any student who supplies a verified score of 64 or higher within three weeks of the start of the first semester will then be deregistered from these modules and the billing will be reversed. Students who complete ITSA and ITSB will receive a Short Learning Programme certificate for the modules.
The onus is on students to make use of the support available to benefit from these modules. The details of this support will be communicated by the campus or administrative team responsible for the student support on their qualification.
