Student Commitment
Contact and supervised studio hours have been included in each of the major study subject descriptions to accurately reflect the mode of teaching and supervision.
Contact hours include attendance at classes, tutorials, workshops, demonstrations, other individual instruction and excursions. Supervised studio hours are the hours that students are expected to commit to working in their studios to fulfil course requirements.
Top
Assessment
The Assessment statements in the subject descriptions should be read in conjunction with the information given in the following paragraphs.

Assessment and grading will be decided through the exercise of professional judgement, the result being arrived at through the averaging of individual results supplied by each member of a panel.

The panel may consist of the Head of the Studio Program and appropriate academic staff.

The assessment of Visual Art Theory and History and Independent Studies Program subjects differs from this general pattern and students should refer to the Assessment statements for these subjects for information.
The criteria for assessment are the successful completion of set subject requirements; demonstration of conceptual ability as indicated by the exploration of ideas, demonstration of critical capacity as evidenced by selection of work and level of critical process brought to bear on the project, item or program; evidence of independent work practices as demonstrated by the research for and development of work produced; technical, manipulative and perceptual skills displayed and the quality of the work submitted.

Course Progression Guidelines
The maximum time permitted for completion of the course is six years.

The progress of a student will be deemed to be unsatisfactory if the student:
(a) fails to pass 50 % of the total credit points in any semester; or
(b) obtains two successive fails in any one subject.
