This should be submitted after completion of the subject and within fourteen days of commencement of the new term. Reassessment: If a student does not qualify for resubmission or is still deemed Not Yet Competent (NYC) after the resubmission, they will need to go through the reassessment process. To qualify for reassessment the student must have completed and submitted the required assessments for the unit of competency as per the unit assessment schedule. Student will get three reassessments attempt, without any additional penalty/ fee. Reassessment will occur only for those assessment tasks in which the student is deemed NYC. Reassessment is a formal process and student must apply for reassessment through Request for Reassessment Form available from the reception. ON approval and payment of reassessment fees, a reassessment schedule will be advised. If still failed in three reassessment attempts, the student will need to repeat (re-sit) the unit. Re-sit (or Repeat): The student will need to re-sit the unit in the following term/semester if they are not deemed eligible for any of the above post-assessment options; i.e., both the options of resubmission and reassessment have been exhausted. The student will also need to re-sit the unit if the result from reassessment is still Not Yet Competent (NYC). Re-sit may result in extension of course duration and may affect student’s original completion date of the course. Student will need to pay a pro rata fee of the course fee to re-sit for the unit. Student should contact the admin department if he/she remains NYC after 3 attempts of reassessment. Admin team/ student support officer will liaise with accounts and academic team and issue the special training plan and the invoice for the resit attempt to the student. Student will be advised if there is a need to amend the COE at this stage. If a course is extended by an academic term, a pro-rata term fee based on total course fee will apply as per the course fees specified in the International Student Agreement. Resit mean repeating the entire unit of competency. Resit is a formal process and student will be advised of their resit options once all the term results are published. In the event where a student has been deemed NYC in 50% or more units within a study period, they will be asked to attend a course progress interview and go through the course progress process according to college’s Course Progress Policy. Late Submission Fee: A late fee of $100 per unit will be charged if students fail to submit assessments on due dates. Absentees: Students are absent on the day of the assessment without prior approval or a valid reason (e.g. medical certificate) will be marked Not Yet Competent and will be subject to college’s Course Progress Policy.
