Basic Pass Requirements For A Degree

In order to pass your degree, you’ll need to be familiar with what it takes to pass. You should have a basic understanding of the pass requirements for your subject, which is expressed as an overall mark and a numerical value which represents the minimum combined marks required in each of the assessment items.

A subject is marked as ‘P’ or ‘C’ depending on whether the final mark is greater than/equal to or less than the Pass Requirements respectively. The level of ‘Pass’ for a subject is determined by the first digit of the Overall Mark, e.g. overall mark of 51 will be a Pass 2, overall mark of 75 will be a Pass 4 etc.”

Basic Pass Requirements For A Degree

In order to understand the Pass Requirements for your degree, you need to know three things: the overall mark, the numerical value of each assessment item and how they combine.

The Overall Mark is a number between 0 and 100 which indicates how well you performed in your course. The Numerical Value (NV) represents the minimum combined marks required in each of the assessment items. The Numerical Value is expressed as a number between 0 and 10 which corresponds with one of ten levels of performance ranging from Fail (0 NV) to Distinction/High Distinction (9 NV).

The Overall Mark for your subject is calculated by adding up all of your individual NV scores for each assessment item and then dividing by 10. That gives you an overall mark ranging from 0-100%. For example, if one assessment item has an NV score of 7 and another has an NV score of 8 out of 10 then their combined total would be 15% or “15%” if that was written on paper instead.”

• The pass requirements for a subject are expressed as an overall mark and a numerical value. For example, you might see ‘P’ written on your exam paper or transcript to indicate that you passed the Unit.
• The Pass Requirements are set by the University, Department and Lecturer for each unit of study at your university (and sometimes even at a class level). If you want to know what these are for any particular unit of study at your university, ask around! You may be able to find them online or in hard copy somewhere (such as here).
• It is important to note that it is possible for someone who has achieved 100% on their final assessment task/assignment/exam etc., but still fails overall if they don’t meet these minimum pass requirements – because ultimately there are no bonus points awarded in this situation! This can be quite confusing so make sure you understand what’s meant by ‘passing’ before going into an exam thinking everything will be fine…

If you want to pass your degree, you have to become familiar with what it takes to pass. The subject pass requirements are expressed as an overall mark and a numerical value. The level of ‘Pass’ for a subject is determined by the first digit of the Overall Mark. If this first digit is 3 or less, then Pass (A) will be awarded; if it’s 4 or 5, then Pass (B) will be awarded; if it’s 6 and above, then Fail (D) will be awarded.
