In the event of failure in the Robotics Research Project (ACS6300, COM6301, EEE6300, PSY6300) at the first attempt, any resubmission is subject to the approval of the Board of Examiners.

The Examiners may in their discretion recommend that a student who is awarded not fewer than 105 credits in respect of units listed at 1A and 1B, be deemed to have passed the Examination for a Postgraduate Diploma (ACST18), providing that the student has obtained an average grade of not less than 50 and a grade or grades of not less than 40 in the elements of the programme of study in respect of which credits are not awarded.

A student who has been awarded sixty credits in respect of units listed at 1A and 1B above will be eligible for the award of the Postgraduate Certificate (ACST19).

In the case of a student for a Master’s degree who is being considered for the award of a Postgraduate Diploma or Postgraduate Certificate, calculation of the average grade will exclude the dissertation grade.
