ASSESSMENT

Most units are assessed by way of one assignment (worth 20-40% of the final grade) and one examination (worth 60-80% of the final grade).

Established examination venues exist in major cities and metropolitan centres both in Australia and overseas. If you live more than 150km from an established venue, you may nominate a venue and examination supervisor and we will assist in setting up the venue.

Examinations are conducted during business hours in mid June for Study Period 1 and in early November for Study Period 2.

The examination timetable is published in the Student Community section of the website and on the enrolment form.
