Right of entry into programmes of study is restricted by SIT and apparent eligibility may not lead to automatic acceptance. Applicants must demonstrate attributes which in the assessment of SIT should lead to success.
Where SIT is satisfied that it is necessary to do so because of insufficiency of staff, accommodation, or equipment it may determine the maximum number of students who may be enrolled in a particular course of study. Where the number of applications for enrolment exceeds the number of places in any case where such a limitation applies the criteria for selection shall be academic merit and suitability for admission to that course of study. Eligible students not admitted to their chosen course of study will be placed on a waiting list and or may be referred to another programme. Applications should be received by SIT no later than the applications due date. Late applications may be considered subject to availability of places.
The Head of Faculty will determine the maximum number of students permitted to enrol in the degree programme.
All enrolments in the Bachelor of Applied Management (majors in Project Management, Event Management, Human Resource Management, Applied Marketing, Applied Management, Occupational Health and Safety Management, Agribusiness Management) are approved at the discretion of the Programme Manager in consultation with the Head of Faculty and teaching staff, as required.
