To qualify for the Postgraduate diploma in Journalism, students need a minimum Cumulative Average Percentage (CAP) of 50 per cent or B. 80% and aboce (A+) = First Division with Distinction; 75-79% (A) = First Divison; 65-74% (B+) = Upper Second Division; and 50-64% (B) = Second Division.

Students are expected to attend every lecture and workshop and to submit assignments on time. In a programme of this duration there is little opportunity for make-up work, and absences will be excused only in case of serious illness.
