Hurdle

As the minimum requirements of assessment to pass a unit and meet all ULOs to a minimum standard, an undergraduate student must have achieved:

(i) an overall mark for the unit of 50% or more, and(ii) at least 40% in the final exam, and(iii) at least 40% of the possible marks for the laboratory hurdleStudents who do not successfully achieve hurdle requirements (ii) and (iii) will receive a maximum of 45% as the total mark for the unit.
