05.5 Passing Units and Assessments
All unit requirements must be met in order to pass a unit. A student must fulfil all the requirements of the unit (including submission of all required assessment items and completion of non-assessed exercises, participation in forums, etc.).
Results are provisional until they are approved by the Academic Board. Marks awarded during the year for all assessment items are provisional. They may be adjusted due to moderation processes by the Academic Board.
The syllabus contains a section called the Progression Statement. This specifically states what must be achieved to pass the unit. Students should take care to read the Progression Statement in the syllabus. A pass overall in a unit does not necessarily mean that the unit is passed.
Example: Student Smith scored 53% in Reading the Gospel of Mark as a total unit result, but only scored 42% in the thematic assignment. The Progression statement in the syllabus indicates that the student must achieve at least 50% in the thematic assignment to pass the unit, even if the overall unit result is a pass.
One thing to note!
The Progression statement (example shown below) in the syllabus overrides all other regulations about what is needed to pass the unit.
