Conceded Passes
- A conceded pass in a unit may be approved by a Board of Examiners where:
- - the student has attempted all assessment tasks for a unit (including any final examination, if applicable)
- - the student has not obtained a sufficiently high mark to demonstrate that he or she has achieved all the learning outcomes
- and passed the unit
- - the Board of Examiners believes that taking into account a students academic record, personal circumstances and point in
- the course, that - allowing the student to complete the unit with a conceded pass is warranted.
- Circumstances Potentially Warranting a Conceded Pass
- Conceded passes normally granted by the Board of Examiners to students with good academic records.
A conceded pass may be particularly appropriate for a student with a good academic record in their final study period.
The personal circumstances of the student must be taken into account. The student's performance in the unit should have been adversely affected by their personal circumstances.
Circumstances that may warrant approval of a conceded pass include, but are not limited to:
- - Student injury, illness or medical condition
- - Family issues (family injury or illness, bereavement etc)
- - Commitments to participate in elite sport or other activities that warrant favourable consideration
- - Commitments to assist with community service activities (for example, bushfire protection)
- - Unavoidable and unexpected work commitments (eg relocation)
Restrictions on Granting Conceded Passes
Other than where exceptional circumstances exist:
- - A student may not be granted a conceded pass with a mark of less than 45%.
- - A student may not be granted more than one conceded pass in any one study period.
Recording a Conceded Pass on the Academic Transcript
A conceded pass is recorded on the Academic Transcript as a PC.
For a Grade/Mark unit, the actual mark obtained is recorded on the transcript (eg 45).
