2. Supplementary assessments may not be awarded to any student who has failed more than two units.

3. Supplementary assessment refers to the following according to page 29 Curtin 2008 Assessment Manual:

Supplementary Assessment (an “X” interim result) is the formal approval by a Board of Examiners for a student to undertake an additional     assessment task in order to provide an opportunity for the student to pass the unit.

The additional assessment task could be an examination or assignment or other work.
