You must obtain a final mark of at least 50% to pass the subject. In addition, the expectation is to obtain at
least an average of 50% over all invigilated components (supervised individual assessment) within a subject to
pass the subject overall. Any student who does not achieve a pass in the invigilated components may, in
exceptional circumstances, be reviewed by the School Assessment Committee.
Students who have completed less than 100% of the assessment will be subject to review by the School
Assessment Committee which could result in an overall fail.
