From summer 2018 (201805), ACU will be introducing the provision of numerical marks alongside grades for all graded (ie non-pass/fail) units.
Academic staff will be required to submit whole marks as well as grades for all students in graded units from the beginning of 2018.
All students will be notified of final marks and grades for all graded units via email, Student Connect and the Student Portal.
This change will only apply to units from Summer 2018; it will not be applied retrospectively.
For example: a third year student failed one unit in each of 2016 and 2017, and fails another unit in 2018. The first two failed units will each contribute one point to her final GPA calculation, whereas the 2018 fail will be given a value of zero.
Academic Board will also be considering the introduction of three new grades from 2018. A final decision will be reached by the end of November.
NH - Fail hurdle
Where a student achieves a mark greater than or equal to 50 in a graded unit, but fails to complete a hurdle requirement, they will be awarded a grade of NH and a mark of 49. Such students will not be eligible for supplementary assessment. If a student achieves a mark less than 49, and fails to complete a hurdle requirement, they will be awarded a grade of NN, and their mark will stand unaltered.
IP - Incomplete Practicum
If a final grade for a Professional Experience Unit is not available at the end of a study period unit due to an incomplete practicum component, an interim grade of IP should be entered. After a predetermined period of time, any outstanding IP results will be converted to NN 00 (for graded subjects) or NN (for Pass/Fail subjects).
NU – Fail Ungraded
