4.14. Borderline policy

The borderline classification policy is used to recommend a higher classification where the following conditions are met: 

  • Each student with a Classification Mark within 1.5 per cent of a borderline (except at the pass/fail border) is determined to fall within the ‘zone of consideration’ and will be considered as a possible case for application of the borderline policy; 

  • A student falling within the zone of consideration and with at least half of their final year credits with marks at the level of the upper classification (or higher), will be raised to the higher classification.
