Calculation of the overall qualification grade
The calculation of the overall qualification grade is based on the student’s performance in all units. Students are awarded a Pass, Merit or Distinction qualification grade using the points gained through all 120 credits, at Level 4 for the HNC, based on unit achievement.
All units in valid combination must have been attempted for each qualification. The conditions of award and the compensation provisions will apply as outlined above.
All 120 credits count in calculating the grade (at each level, as applicable).
Units that have been attempted but not achieved, and subsequently granted compensation, will appear as ‘Unclassified’; i.e. a ‘U’ grade, on the student’s Notification of Performance, that is issued with the student certificate.
