Assessment Arrangements for Students from Language Backgrounds Other Than English

Identifying as a Linguistically Diverse Background Student does not entitle students to assessment concessions.  Applications will be assessed and a determination made on what, if any concessions are appropriate.  Decisions made for one course will not necessarily be the same as for another course.

For assessment concession purposes the College of Business and Economics courses are categorised as follows:

Category 1

No assessment concessions are approved for these courses

Category 2

No time concessions will be approved for these courses. Foreign language dictionaries, submitted to and approved by Examinations Officer will be permitted at the discretion of the Course Authority.

Category 3

Approved foreign language dictionaries and some time concessions will be approved for assessment tasks with a duration of more than one hour and less than 24 hours.

Finance and Applied Statistics – All courses category 2
