Section 3 - Enrolment and Variations

General Enrolment Rules

(56) Students who have activated an offer will be deemed to be registered for a course, and will be required to enrol in subjects for their enrolment to be completed. Once enrolled, students will be then subject to all relevant rules, policies and other requirements.

(57) Some courses may only be available on a full-time or part-time basis, or in other modes of delivery as specified in the Course Handbook.

(58) Continuation of enrolment is contingent upon compliance with any approved conditions imposed at initial registration or thereafter.

(59) Except with approval by the delegated authority in exceptional circumstances, a student is subject to the course time limits set out in clauses 98 – 99 inclusive.

(60) During prescribed periods in each year, a student will enrol in a program in accordance with requirements of these Rules and pay any required charges.

Concurrent Enrolment

(61) Except with approval by the delegated authority, a student will not be enrolled concurrently in more than one course of study. Where a domestic fee-paying student is approved to enrol in more than one course concurrently, the student must maintain an equivalent full-time enrolment in one of the courses of study in every session in which the student is active in order to maintain eligibility for Commonwealth income support for which they are otherwise eligible.

Twinning, Joint and Dual Award Arrangements and Cross-Institutional Studies

(62) Students enrolled under a Twinning, Joint or Dual award agreement between the University of Wollongong and another institution, or in any form of cross-institutional study, must follow the rules and policies with regard to their enrolment in that subject at the University of Wollongong or the other institution of study at which they are enrolled.

International Student Enrolment Requirements

(63) International students on student visas are required to complete their course within the duration as registered for that course on the Commonwealth Register of Institutions and Courses for International Students (CRICOS). The registered duration is determined as the time to complete the course under a standard full-time study load.

(64) International students can only exceed this duration as a result of:

1. approved extension to their course duration on the basis of compassionate or compelling circumstances as evidenced by the student and approved by the delegated authority; or
2. participation in an approved element of an intervention strategy activated for the student as outlined in the Course Progress Policy; or
3. an approved deferment, leave of absence or suspension of study.

(65) The duration of course completion for individual international students may be shortened as a result of credit transfer granted for prior study.

(66) It is the obligation of the International Student to ensure that they are enrolled in the equivalent of a full-time study load at all times, and where they become aware that they are under-enrolled, to seek academic advice.

(67) An International Student on a student visa fails to enrol in a full time study if they enrol in fewer subjects that constitute a full time load, or as a result of withdrawing from a subject or subjects. Where the University becomes aware that an International Student on a student visa has failed to enrol in a full time study load without academic approval to do so, (for example, through the activation of elements of an intervention strategy), the following will apply:

1. The international student will be required to contact the Head of Students for the course-owning Faculty, and seek approval for a reduced study load;
2. Where the student can demonstrate the existence of circumstances as outlined in clause 64.a (above), the University may approved a reduced study load and assist the student in processing an extension to their CoE, and supporting applications for an extended visa;
3. In the absence of approval to undertake a reduced study load, as outlined in clause 67.a (above) the student will be required to demonstrate to their Course Progress Advisor how they intend to undertake additional study in order to complete their course of study within the expected duration. Should the student fail to demonstrate a viable plan to complete their course of study within the expected duration, the University will inform the student they are unable to complete their course and will take action to cancel their Confirmation of Enrolment.

Cancellation of Enrolment

(68) A student may have their enrolment cancelled as a consequence of failing to comply with University rules.

(69) Where a student is admitted to a course of study on the basis of documentation or information that is later discovered to be incomplete, inaccurate, fraudulent or misleading, the University may cancel the student’s enrolment.

(70) Where a student fails to meet the minimum rate of progress in a course they may be suspended or excluded from the University, as specified in the Course Progress Policy.

(71) Students may be excluded from the University for either academic or non-academic misconduct as specified in the Student Conduct Rules.

(72) A student may be suspended, excluded or expelled from the University where, following a risk assessment taking into consideration the student’s history and/or other circumstances, it is determined that the student’s continued registration in the course may cause a substantial risk to the health or safety of members of the University community.

Performance in a Mandatory Placement Program Component

(73) The student may be excluded from the course if the Executive Dean of the relevant course-owning faculty student determines the student is unsuitable to commence or continue in a mandatory placement or mandatory professional experience component of a course on the basis that:

1. the student fails to perform satisfactorily in a mandatory placement program or mandatory professional experience component of the course or for other specified reasons is subsequently assessed to be unlikely to perform satisfactorily in that practical placement or professional experience component and therefore has been deemed to be as unsuitable to continue in such placement program or professional experience component by the Academic Program Director;
2. the student is required to complete a mandatory placement program or mandatory professional experience component of a course with an external agency, and the external agency has refused to permit that student access to their facilities for legitimate reasons; or
3. for another specified reason, the student is assessed to be unlikely to perform satisfactorily in a mandatory placement program or mandatory professional experience component of a course.

(74) The Academic Program Director for the course must first give the student notice in writing setting out the proposed reasons for assessing the student as unsuitable, and must give the student ten (10) working days from receipt of such notice in which to comment in writing to the Academic Program Director on the student’s suitability to commence or continue to participate in a mandatory placement program or mandatory professional experience component of a course.

(75) Where the Academic Program Director, taking account of any comment received in writing from the student, forms the view a student is unsuitable to commence or continue to participate in a mandatory placement program or mandatory professional experience component of a course for one or more of the reasons set out in clause 73 above, the Academic Program Director must refer all relevant information on the matter to the Faculty Executive Dean for a decision. The Executive Dean will consider this information and determine the matter and advise the student in writing of their decision within ten (10) working days after receiving the referral from the Academic Program Director.

(76) A student may appeal the decision of the Faculty Executive Dean using the process outlined for appeals against course exclusion in the Course Progress Policy, subject to the following variations:

1. The appeal will:
   1. be lodged in writing with the Student Administration Services Division within 20 working days after receipt of notification of exclusion,
   2. state fully the reasons for the appeal, which may include:
      1. a statement in response to the factors that contributed to the student being assessed as unsuitable to commence or continue in a mandatory placement or mandatory professional experience component of a course; and/or
      2. a statement detailing how those contributing factors will be managed in the future;
      3. provide any relevant documentary evidence to support the appeal, which may include but not be limited to medical certificates, statutory declarations, counselling reports, references, statements by academic teaching staff, and relevant correspondence.

(77) The student will not be excluded from the course until either the timeframes outlined in the policy for lodgement of an appeal have passed and the student has failed to lodge an appeal, or the appeal is determined and the exclusion is upheld.

(78) The Coursework Exclusion Appeals Committee only shall consider and determine the appeal as follows:

1. appeal denied; or
2. appeal upheld with a recommendation to the Vice-Chancellor and President or the Deputy Vice-Chancellor and Vice-President (Academic and Student Life) to revoke the exclusion and reinstate the student’s enrolment without condition; or
3. appeal upheld with a recommendation to the Vice-Chancellor and President or the Deputy Vice-Chancellor and Vice-President (Academic and Student Life) to revoke the exclusion and to:
   1. suspend the student for a specified period; or
   2. reinstate the student’s enrolment subject to conditions, which may include:
      1. undertaking a prescribed learning support program;
      2. seeking language and learning support;
      3. seeking academic advice;
      4. seeking faculty-based learning support;
      5. referral to a Student Support Advisor; and/or
      6. referral to another appropriate support service.
4. Any excluded student retains the right to appeal externally to the NSW Ombudsman.

Period of Cancellation of Enrolment

(79) The period of suspension will comprise one or more sessions and the remainder of the session in which the suspension is applied. At the end of the period of suspension, the student may be re-enrolled in the course.

(80) The period of exclusion will comprise one or more years, and the remainder of the session in which the exclusion is applied. Students who are excluded must re-apply for admission directly to the University at the end of the exclusion period, and are required to declare this period of exclusion at the time of applying.

Course-Level Enrolment Rules

Variation of Course

(81) After consultation with an Academic Adviser, a student may apply to the delegated authority for permission to change registration from one course to another, change location (campus) or change mode of delivery within a course.

(82) The delegated authority must not grant permission to change registration from one course to another unless satisfied that the student will be able to attain the course learning outcomes for the course to which registration is changed upon completion of the course.

(83) Permission for a student to change registration is contingent upon:

1. the delegated authority being satisfied that the student will be able to meet the course learning outcomes for the course to which registration is changed upon completion of the course;
2. the course to which registration is changed being a course currently on offer at the time of the proposed change of registration or being a suspended or discontinued course that is the only available exit pathway for the student;
3. any restriction that may be imposed on the number of students to be registered for a particular course, location or mode of delivery; and
4. satisfaction of any specific admission criteria for a particular course.

(84) The delegated authority may grant a student permission to declare a major study or minor study that is not available to a student registered for the course in which the student is registered at the time permission is sought or granted provided that:

1. the delegated authority is satisfied that the student will be able to meet the course learning outcomes for the course as varied; and
2. the major or minor study approved for variation is not suspended or discontinued at the time permission is sought or granted.

(85) Variation of enrolment associated with change of registration is contingent upon restrictions imposed by relevant provisions of clauses 57 – 61 inclusive and clauses 111 – 119 inclusive.

(86) Upon change of registration, a student becomes subject to rules relating to the course to which registration is changed and from the year in which the change occurs.

(87) A student for an honours Bachelor degree may apply to change candidature from full-time to part time or from part time to full-time prior to the census date for the current session of enrolment.

(88) Except with approval to the contrary from the delegated authority, restrictions imposed on enrolment or registration of a student prior to, or at the time of a change of registration, will continue to apply after change of registration.

(89) Permission for a student to enrol in a subject is contingent upon restrictions imposed by relevant provisions of clauses 57 – 61 inclusive and clauses 100 – 110 inclusive and the deadlines for enrolment as specified below.

(90) Where a commencing student enrols late under clause 102, they may be required to meet with a Head of Students.

(92) Where a student submits a request for a Leave of Absence after the deadline outlined in clause 91 (above), will be subject to the deadlines contained in the withdraw from subjects clauses 111 – 119. Academic penalties may be applied, and financial penalties will apply for the subjects studied as per the UOW Fees Policy.

(93) In addition to clauses 91 – 92 leave of absence requests from international students on student visas must gain approval of the deleted authority and will only be granted under the following specific circumstances:

1. compassionate or compelling grounds as evidenced by the student and approved by the delegated authority; or
2. administrative grounds for example where the University is unable to offer a pre-requisite unit; or
3. participation in an approved element of an intervention strategy activated for the student as outlined in the Course Progress Policy.

(94) Where an international student on a student visa is granted leave of absence as specified in clause 93 (above) and this leads to an extension to the duration of the student's course of study a new Confirmation of Enrolment must be provided to reflect the extended period.

(95) Where it is deemed appropriate by the relevant delegated authority, a student may be granted a retrospective leave of absence for a session that is already complete where they are able to prove the existence of compassionate or compelling circumstances

4. the student is not suspended, excluded or expelled from any tertiary institution;
5. there has been no determination by the delegated authority that there are inappropriate and insufficient personnel and resources to enable the student to undertake the subject; and
6. enrolment is not restricted to students in a specific course, location (campus) or mode of delivery. This may be waived by the delegated authority.

(106) Except with the approval by the delegated authority, a student will not be permitted to enrol in a program which exceeds more than one third above the standard full-time load for that session. This means no more than:

1. 32 credit points for a standard session;
2. 64 credit points for an annual load; or
3. the maximum load specified by the delegated authority for all other sessions.

(107) For the purposes of clause 106 (above), where a student is enrolled in multiple overlapping sessions, the load will be distributed on a pro-rata basis.

(108) A student enrolled in a subject in contravention of the conditions for enrolment specified in the Course Handbook or subject requirements will be withdrawn from that subject unless permitted by the delegated authority to remain enrolled.

(109) A student who, in a particular year, is not permitted to enrol in a subject pursuant to these Rules may apply for permission to enrol in the subject in a subsequent year.

(110) A student who is refused continuation of registration, through suspension or exclusion may not enrol in any subject.

Withdrawal from Subjects

(111) Subject to clause 113, a student may withdraw from a subject provided such withdrawal is made no later than the deadlines for withdrawal as specified below. A student who withdraws from all subjects in a session without obtaining an approved leave of absence, as per clause 91 – 97 inclusive, may have their enrolment lapsed. Once enrolment has lapsed, the student must re-apply for admission.

(112) A student may not withdraw from a subject with or without penalty if it is a subject in respect of which they are being investigated for academic misconduct unless the investigation (and any subsequent appeal process) has been finalised and there is no finding of academic misconduct made against the student. Any purported variation to the student’s enrolment in these circumstances will be of no effect.

(113) Subject to clause 111, a student enrolled in a coursework subject may withdraw from a subject without academic penalty and without the subject appearing on the official academic transcript if they withdraw:

1. before the end of the ninth week of session for subjects in a standard session; or
2. before the last day to withdraw without academic penalty, as specified in the Key dates for subjects in a non-standard session.

(114) Where a student seeks to withdraw from a subject between the last date to withdraw without academic penalty as outlined in clause 113 (above) and ten working days after the declaration of the individual student’s final grade for the subject or subjects, the following rules will apply:

1. An application to withdraw from a subject or subjects must be made on the appropriate form for consideration by the delegated authority;
2. The student must demonstrate the existence of compassionate or compelling circumstances that impacted the student’s ability to undertake their studies for a significant proportion of the session in question;
3. The student must demonstrate the existence of reasons why the student did not seek to withdraw from a subject or subjects until after their results have been declared;
4. Where withdrawal is not being sought for all of the subjects in which the student was enrolled for the period in question, the student must be able to demonstrate the reasons why the circumstances did not impact on all of the subjects in which they were enrolled; and
5. The delegated authority must deem that the circumstances had enough of an impact on the student’s ability to study for a significant enough period of the session in question to warrant withdrawing the student from the subject or subjects.

(115) After the deadline outlined in clause 114, a student may only be withdrawn from a subject if they fulfil the requirements of Schedule 3 Clause 5 of the Delegations of Authority Policy.

(116) If an application for withdrawal from a subject without academic penalty is approved, the student will be deemed to have withdrawn from the subject without academic penalty for the purposes of Course Progress Policy and the subject will be recorded as “Approved withdrawal” on the enrolment record and the subject will not appear on the academic transcript.

(117) If an application for withdrawal from a subject without academic penalty is not approved, the enrolment will stand and a grade will be declared for that subject. The student may appeal the grade received in accordance with the Review and Appeal of Academic Decisions Policy.

(118) Where:

1. a student can demonstrate the existence of an enrolment error; or
2. the delegated authority so authorises on the basis that the delegated authority determines that there are exceptional circumstances;

(119) the student or a cohort of students may be withdrawn from a subject following the release of results without application. For the purposes of the Course Progress Policy, if a student is affected by an authorisation under clause 118(b), the student’s course status will be determined based on student’s grade prior to their withdrawal without academic penalty. Following the student’s withdrawal, the subject will be recorded as either “Approved withdrawal” or “Withdrawn late with approval” on the student’s enrolment record and the subject will not appear on the student’s academic transcript.

Amendment of Academic Record

(120) There are four circumstances under which a student may apply to a delegated authority to have their Academic Record amended once results for a subject have been released, as follows:

1. there has been an enrolment error (as determined under clause 122);
2. a student has successfully applied under the Review and Appeal of Academic Decisions Policy to have a mark or grade altered; or
3. a student has either applied for academic consideration under the Student Academic Consideration Policy;
4. a student has been granted a withdrawal under clauses 111 – 119.

(121) No amendment can be made to an academic record after the student’s course has been conferred.

(122) A student may apply to have their academic record amended where the student has either:

1. not attempted a subject for which they were formally enrolled as a result of an enrolment error; or
2. attempted a subject for which they were not formally enrolled as a result of an enrolment error and need to be enrolled to have a grade declared.

(123) Applications under clause 122 must be made on the appropriate form, which must:

1. include appropriate details to support the application; and
2. be lodged on the appropriate form no later than ten days after the declaration of the individual student’s results for a subject

(124) Under the Higher Education Support Act 2003, domestic students are not eligible for Commonwealth support or assistance for subjects enrolled after the census date if the reason for late enrolment is student error. In these cases Commonwealth supported students will only be able to enrol in subjects on a full fee paying basis. For courses where there are no full fee paying places offered, students will be required to enrol on a non-award basis and pay the non-award fees upfront. Non-Commonwealth supported (full fee paying) students will be required to pay the relevant tuition fees upfront.

Conclusion of Enrolment

Conferral of Awards

(125) All awards of the University are conferred in accordance with the University’s Conferrals and Issuance Policy.

(126) A course award may be conferred upon a student who has complied with relevant parts of these Rules, is not indebted to the University, and has met the requirements for the course as specified in the Course Handbook, or as varied by the delegated authority under clause 104.a. A student enrolled in a double degree course does not meet the requirements for the course unless the requirements for both strands of the double degree course (as varied) are met.

(127) Applications to have an award conferred must be made on the appropriate form and by the due date for each session. It is the responsibility of the student to lodge an application to graduate in order to have their award formally conferred. Failure to do so will result in the student being unable to receive their official documentation or attend a graduation ceremony.

(128) In the event of the death of a student or of a student becoming permanently incapacitated and discontinuing study :

1. if in either case the student has completed the requirements of either the course they are enrolled in or an award at a lower level, as specified in clause 126, the Vice-Chancellor and President may confer the award on the student; or
2. if in either case the student has completed a substantial proportion of the course requirements for either the course they are enrolled in or an award at a lower level, Vice-Chancellor and President may confer an award for either the enrolled course or for an award at a lower level, on the recommendation of the relevant Faculty Executive Dean and with an endorsement from the Deputy Vice-Chancellor and Vice-President (Academic and Student Life).

(129) Recommendations to the Vice-Chancellor and President under clause 128 (above) would normally be made within two years of the student’s last enrolment and must be supported by relevant documentation.

General Elective Subjects and the General Elective Schedule

(130) Undergraduate subjects listed on the General Elective Schedule are open for enrolment by any undergraduate student.

(131) This is subject to the structure and requirements of the undergraduate courses. Courses may prescribe content by reference to a general schedule of elective subjects as part of course requirements.

(132) The approval process for a general schedule of elective subjects is provided for in the Course and Subject Approval Procedures (Faculty Delegated Course and Subject Amendments).

Section 4 - Compulsory Non-Credit Modules

(133) In addition to requirements set out in the Course Rules, students must satisfy the relevant requirements listed below:

StartSmart

(134) Requirements for StartSmart are detailed on the ‘How uni works’ webpage and are accessible via the ‘Get Started’ module for current students .

(135) Undergraduate and Postgraduate Coursework students must complete StartSmart in their first session of study.

(136) Students who fail to complete StartSmart will have their results withheld.

CareerSmart

(137) Requirements for CareerSmart are detailed on the ‘How uni works’ webpage and are accessible via the ‘Get Started’ module for current students.

(138) Undergraduate students must complete CareerSmart in their first session of study.

(139) Students who fail to complete CareerSmart will have their results withheld.

Consent Matters

(140) Requirements for Consent Matters are detailed on the ‘How uni works’ webpage and are accessible via the ‘Get Started’ module for current students.

(141) Undergraduate and Postgraduate Coursework students studying in Australia must complete Consent Matters in their first session of study.

(142) Students who fail to complete Consent Matter will have their results withheld.

Zero Credit Point Professional Experience Subjects

(143) In course of study where a zero credit point professional experience subject is a course requirement, students must complete the subject before their course can be conferred.

(144) Where a student remains enrolled in the subject over multiple sessions, the student’s record for the subject will have a grade of IPC recorded until the subject is completed.

Section 5 - Grades of Performance

Determination, Declaration and Release of Subject Results

Determination and Declaration of Results

(145) A mark and an approved grade of performance will be determined and declared for each subject in which a student is enrolled in accordance with the Standards for the Finalisation of Student Results and the Teaching and Assessment: Assessment and Feedback Policy. The responsibilities of the Faculty Assessment Committee and the Academic Unit Assessment Committee in these processes are set out in the Finalisation of Student Results Policy.

Release of Results

(146) After results are declared in each subject, the results will be released by the Director, Student Administration Services Division in a form and at a time determined by the Director, Student Administration Services Division. Students access their results via their enrolment record on Student OnLine Services (SOLS) on and from the day of release of results. No information concerning results will be given by telephone.

Grades of Performance for all Subjects

(147) The approved grades of performance and associated ranges of marks for 100, 200, 300, 400, 800 and 900 level subjects are as follows:

Determination of Performance as Satisfactory or Unsatisfactory

(148) For approved undergraduate and postgraduate coursework subjects, performance will be determined as:

(149) The delegated authority may, in exceptional circumstances as determined by the delegated authority, authorise the substitution of the grades of performance specified in clause 147(above) with those specified in clause 148 (above), with respect to a subject, a student or cohort of students, and subject to any condition or conditions specified in the authorisation.

Graduate Medicine

(150) In addition to the determination of performance in clause 149 (above), subjects from Graduate Medicine that are completed with a high standard of performance may be awarded the grade of Excellent instead of Satisfactory. 

Interim Grades

(151) Students must not have a blank declaration of results. An interim grade must be given when a grade of performance for a subject has not been declared at the release of results. Interim grades may be given as follows:

1. WH (withheld):
   1. for investigative grounds; any formal investigation carried out by a person or committee authorised to conduct the investigation under University Rules or policy; or
   2. due to unavoidable delays in marking an assessment task and/or finalising a grade.
2. WS (withheld supplementary): due to a supplementary assessment or supplementary examination being offered.
3. WD (withheld deferred): due to a deferred assessment or deferred examination being provided in response to a successful academic consideration application.
4. IPC (in progress coursework): where a subject spans session dates (for example any subject lasting two sessions or longer), or under the conditions outlined in clause 154 (below).
5. ND (not declared): generated by the student system when a grade of performance or other interim grade has not been declared at the release of results.

(152) With the exception of IPC grades, where an interim grade (outlined above) is given, a grade of performance for the subject must be declared within ten weeks after the release of results date. Failure to declare an interim grade within ten weeks after the release of results will result in a mark of zero and grade of Fail, or an Unsatisfactory grade for subjects with a Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory grading scheme, being applied. Failure to declare an IPC grade within one year of the release of results will result in a mark of zero and grade of Fail, or an Unsatisfactory grade for subjects with a Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory grading scheme, being applied.

(153) Where a WH or ND grade is given, it is the student’s responsibility to take the appropriate action relative to the interim grade given.

(154) Where a subject does not span session dates but requires the use of the IPC grade, an IPC grade may be given under the following conditions:

1. the subject is a professional placement or professional experience subject with a requirement that a minimum number of placement hours be undertaken during the session, as specified in the subject outline;
2. for students who have, for whatever reason, been unable to complete all of the placement hours during the required session, the period during which a student can complete the placement exceeds the ten week period following the release of results as outlined in clause 152; and
3. the use of the IPC grade for the subject due to professional placement or professional experience is approved by the delegated authority.

Declaration of Results for Multi Session Subjects

(155) Where a subject is required to be undertaken over more than one session, a grade will be declared at the end of each session prior to the final session as IPC (in progress coursework).

(156) When the subject has been completed a grade of performance, as per clauses 151 – 153 (above) inclusive, will be declared for the final session of enrolment. All previous session enrolments may be declared as CO (Complete) for the purpose of counting the total credit points for the subject.

(157) If a student is deemed to be making unsatisfactory progress during a multi session subject and is not permitted to continue their enrolment in the subject, a grade of U (Unsatisfactory) will be applied to the current session of enrolment.

(158) If a student withdraws from a multi session subject a grade of U (Unsatisfactory) may be declared if appropriate to indicate that the student has ceased the subject before completion.

Supplementary Assessment

(159) A student who is awarded a mark of 49 or less, or is awarded a grade of TF in an undergraduate or postgraduate coursework subject, may be offered a supplementary assessment in accordance with the requirements of the Supplementary Assessment Procedure.

(160) The following provisions apply to the mark and/or grade a student receives as a result of undertaking a supplementary assessment:

1. where a student achieves a composite mark of 50 or more for the subject, the student will receive a mark of 50 for the subject and a grade of Pass-Supplementary (PS);
2. where a student achieves a composite mark of less than 50 for the subject, the student will receive their original mark and a grade of Fail; and
3. where a student gains a composite mark of 50 or more for the subject but does not meet a specified level in the supplementary assessment task required to pass the subject, the student will receive a Technical Fail and the provisions of clause 164 (below) will apply.

Failure to Attain Minimum Performance Levels

(161) Where a student gains a mark of 50 or greater and does not meet a specified level in one or more assessment tasks required to pass the subject, a Technical Fail grade will be used. Where a Technical Fail is given the following applies:

1. the student has failed the subject;
2. TF (Technical Fail) without a mark will be granted;
3. a TF will be presented on the student’s academic transcript; and
4. the allocated mark of 49 will be used as the weighted average mark calculation for subjects at all levels.

(162) Where a subject has a minimum performance level required for either the subject, and/or for specific assessment tasks or attendance that are part of the subject, this must be included in the Subject Outline with the statement that students who do not meet the minimum performance requirements as set out in the Subject Outline will be given a TF grade on their academic transcript.

Course-Level Grades of Performance

Average Marks

(163) A student’s Average Mark will be determined at a course level using the calculation as follows:

(164) A student’s Weighted Average Mark will be determined using the calculation as follows:

(165) Summation in the numerator and denominator includes:

1. all subjects attempted while registered for the course they are completing
2. credit for subjects completed at UOW (previously known as advanced standing).

(166) Subjects which are graded Satisfactory (S), Unsatisfactory (U) or Excellent (E) are not to be included in the calculations.

(167) A student must be enrolled in one of the following courses to be considered for an award “with Distinction”:

1. a pass Bachelor degree; or
2. a Masters by Coursework degree.

(168) In order to achieve an award “with Distinction” students must gain an Average Mark of 75% or more as calculated using clauses 161 to 162.

(169) Students enrolled in the Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS) or Doctor of Medicine (MD) who achieve a minimum of three out of the four subjects (MEDI601, MEDI602, MEDI603 and MEDI604 or MEDI991, MEDI992, MEDI993 and MEDI994) with a grade of Excellent and who have not failed any subjects during the course of their candidature, will be awarded the degree “with Distinction”.

(170) An undergraduate student, including a student enrolled in a program delivered in conjunction with an approved partner institution, must have completed at least 50% of the credit points for their degree in a University of Wollongong accredited course.

(171) A postgraduate student, including a student enrolled in a program delivered in conjunction with an approved partner institution, must have completed at least 66% of the credit points for their degree in a University of Wollongong accredited course.

(172) Students enrolled in a double degree will be assessed for eligibility for the award “with Distinction” for each degree separately.

(173) A degree containing more than 50% of credit points that are graded at the level of Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory will not be eligible for the award “with Distinction”.

(174) To be eligible for the award ‘with Distinction’, at least 50% of the credit points counted towards the award must be graded in accordance with clause 147. Where credit (specified or unspecified) is granted, but no grade is recorded against a subject for which the credit is granted, this will not be not be counted towards the calculation for an award ‘with Distinction’.

(175) Except as provided in clause 174 (below), every attempt at a subject in the course is to be included in the determination in clause 166(above).

(176) Subjects which are graded Satisfactory (S) or Unsatisfactory (U) under clause 148(above) are not to be included in the determination in clause 166 (above).
