  8. Minimum Marks for Components of Assessment • All elements must be submitted.  Providing the student achieves an overall result for a module of 40% or above (regardless of individual element scores) they will pass. • This obviously means that it is important to ensure that you make a good attempt at every module. You will not be able to omit an assessment or do very little towards an assessment in the hope that your aggregate mark will give you a pass in the module.

  9. Illness and Other Extenuating Circumstance • Students’ responsibility • Complete the “Claim form for extenuating circumstances” • Third Party Evidence • Submit to SCOPE at least TEN days prior to the appropriate assessment board meeting concerned • Assessment may be deferred if application is deemed acceptable
