Academic Policy

Examination and Grade System

Assessment is delivered through supervised, technology-enabled examinations across approved centres, and graded on a five-point scale.

Framework

How assessment works

Every course is assessed through a combination of continuous assessment and a supervised end-of-semester examination.

Computer-based delivery

Examinations are delivered through iCampus and supervised at approved centres. Both multiple-choice and essay formats are supported.

Continuous assessment

Assignments, tests, and participation contribute to your course mark alongside the end-of-semester examination.

Integrity controls

Supervised sessions, randomised question sets, and identity verification protect the value of every result issued.

Grading

The five-point scale

Course marks convert to letter grades and grade points. Your Grade Point Average is the credit-weighted mean of those points.

This scale follows the National Universities Commission benchmark. Confirm the exact bands for your programme with the Registry, as some professional programmes apply additional requirements.
