Marking System

The College normally offers two choices when attempting each subject. Students may choose to complete assessment in each subject as 4 Units or 5 Units.

4 Units
The maximum mark attainable for a student attempting a 4 unit Subject will be 89%. Students studying subjects as only 4 unit subjects will not be able to pass with an A Grade in that subject.

5 Units
For a student to pass a subject with a 5 Unit assessment, he/she must complete a Major Research Assignment in that subject (as outlined by the Lecturer).

General

For a student to be eligible to sit a Final Exam in any Subject, he/she must satisfy the 80% minimum attendance requirement. It is the responsibility of each student to be aware of his/her attendance fulfilled prior to the Final Exam.
