Assessment is a core academic activity and an essential component of the learning and teaching process. Assessment includes:

1. design and specification of activities or tasks that students undertake to support their learning;
2. provision of feedback as guidance for students' learning;
3. moderation of assessment activities;
4. award of marks or grades; and
5. determination and award of final result grades.

This policy sets out the principles that underpin ACU’s approach to assessment.
