*Academic Consolidation Week
A designated instructional week within the academic term in the university, aimed at enhancing student learning by addressing knowledge gaps based on students' needs, completion of final practical assessments, and the provision of academic support, without introducing new course content.
Lectures, academic activities, and assessments are delivered in accordance with the approved academic timetable. This week is considered an integral part of the course's instructional process and is counted within the approved contact hours, ensuring the achievement of the intended learning outcomes, without compromising the course requirement or the approved study plan, and in full alignment with the requirements of the National Qualifications Framework, particularly with respect to the approved credit/contact hours of the course. Absences during this week are not counted toward the deprivation threshold.
