Many degree programmes have not been affected by the marking and assessment boycott and for these programmes the ‘no detriment’ approach has not been needed.
There are a number of our programmes, particularly those with external accreditation, that have compulsory components and require students to demonstrate competency in all aspects of the programme. Students on these programmes must therefore pass all elements of their assessments. For these individual students, we will have to wait until all assessments have been marked. As a result, we will not be able to apply the ‘no detriment’ approach for these programmes.
There may be a small number of students who may not have enough available credits to accurately consider a weighted average (because of deferred, failed or missed assessments or individual personal circumstances) and again, the ‘no detriment’ approach may not be able to be applied. Schools will be working directly with these students on an individual basis in the usual manner to support them to continue with their studies with the least disruption.
