Enrolment Pattern
1. The BCom/BSc conjoint degree takes a minimum of four years to complete.
2. You are recommended to enrol in not more than 135 points in the first year of
BCom/BSc (with no more than 60 points in the first semester of enrolment).
3. Of the 60 points taken in the first semester, 30 should be for the BSc component and
30 should be for the BCom component. Of the 75 points taken in the second
semester, points should again be split reasonably equally between the two
components. For the BCom component, you should choose courses that are within
the Schedule for your approved major.
4. If completing a double major, the first major must include 60 points at Stage
III; the second major must include 45 points at Stage III as outlined in the BSc
major schedule. Students must meet the requirements for each major
separately. You cannot double count courses.
4. To complete in a minimum of four years, BCom/BSc students would usually enrol in
135 points each year. There is no requirement, however, to complete within the
minimum time of four years, and students may enrol in a more manageable study
load and extend the overall timeframe.
5. BCom/BSc conjoint degree requires 15 points General Education and 15 points
from any available University programme (or from General Education).
5. The University of Auckland Calendar defines fulltime study as enrolment in no less
than 100 points in an academic year or no less than 50 points in one semester or no
fewer than 25 points in Summer School.
6. You must complete your General Education course from the Open Schedule or
the Faculty Schedule available to either of your component degrees. See
www.auckland.ac.nz/generaleducation for more information.
6. The University of Auckland Calendar states that the maximum number of points a
student may enrol in over a single academic year is 170 points (students can enrol in
up to 80 points in each of Semester 1 and 2 and up to 30 points in Summer School
provided the overall limit is not exceeded).
7. You are not advised to take the General Education course in your first year of
study.
