In order to progress in your chosen course, you must meet specific academic requirements in each semester, year or part of a course. 
Please note: Some courses may have different minimum standards or may not award compensating fail grades. Please refer to your course booklet for these details. 

The minimum standards of academic performance in each semester, year or part of a course are:

• A QCA of at least 2.00
• No deficient grades (E.g. F, N, NG, I) 

Students who achieve the minimum performance standard at the end of each academic year can proceed to the next year of their course or to graduation.
