What is the difference between a referred and deferred assessment?
Referred assessment:
If you fail an assessment and mitigation has not been applied by your College:
You are eligible to take the exam/resubmit an assignment for a second time.
This is classified as a referred assessment and a fee is applicable for exams and coursework.
Deferred assessment:
If you did not take/submit the assessment and you have been granted mitigation:
This is classed as a deferred assessment for which there is no fee.
Referred assessment marks are capped at the minimum pass mark whilst deferred assessments award the full marks gained.
