Each half unit is worth 0.5 of a Stirling credit.
Credit thus accumulated is notional, up to a maximum of two notional credits.
Half units of credit are always rounded down, not up, so cannot be counted singly.

Information on the half units to be offered in Summer 2001 will be available in November 2000. The following two half units are available only to students who are about to complete the year long Access to Degree Studies Course. The certificate extends over approximately 15 months from August to the following October.
