The student will then be informed of the possibility of completion and given a clear instruction on what the completion should include, as well as a final date for submission of the completion. The student will also be advised in cases where the examiner assesses that the student can’t be given the opportunity to make a completion because the student is not close to meeting the requirements for the grade “pass”.
