FAQ: Transition to Competency-Based Learning
What is the difference between a module, TU, and a course? Which parts of my study plan are graded? Which ones earn ECTS credits? Which ones lead to certification?
Grades may be assigned to courses, which are grouped into TU. TheTU gradeTU the average of these course grades.
Only TU courses TU semesters carry ECTS credits.
The competency modules are certified. They do not carry a grade or ECTS credits. They will be listed on a competency transcript upon graduation.
I am repeating the year. Which coursework I completed last year can be credited through distance learning this year?
Only one TU (that awards ECTS credits) TU be retained. No course (that does not award ECTS credits) may be retained.
Only a TU as such in last year’s course outlines may be retained and used to validate one or more TU year through the equivalency process (see equivalency table xxxxx).
A semester that has been successfully completed (whether through credit transfer or not) is carried over if the student repeats the year.
My study contract, available through my digital learning platform under the "IP" tab, lets me see TU still need to complete.
I'm repeating the year. How are the TU earned last year taken into account this year?
The grade earned for a TU is automatically carried over toTU corresponding TUTU s) for this year, as indicated in the correspondence table (see xxxxxx). This grade is therefore included in the calculation of averages according to the current year’s grading rules.
My study contract, available through my digital learning platform under the "IP" tab, lets me see TU still need to complete.
I am repeating a year, and I have completed one semester by taking advantage of credit transfers between certain TU. How TU these TU taken into account this year?
A semester that has been approved through the offsetting of the TU comprise it remains approved.
TU semester that have not been individually approved (grade below 10/20) are not carried over beyond that semester.
My study contract, available through my digital learning platform under the "IP" tab, lets me see TU still need to complete.
I am requesting an equivalency or a VAC for a TU. How are the TU in this way taken into account when validating the various stages of my program?
When a TU earned by equivalence, no grade is assigned to it (only the result: “earned”). It therefore cannot be included in the calculation of offsets with other TU.
