Period of validity of certificates of conditional exemption:
The period of validity of certificates of conditional exemption is five years, but the period will be two years beyond the full-time duration for degree programmes that exceed the full-time duration of the final first-degree programme, which will determine that period of validity. Renewal fees will be equivalent to the exemption fee of the specific year.
