Scaling
Your final mark for the course will be based on the raw marks allocated for each of your
assessment items. However, your final mark may not be the same number as produced by
that formula, as marks may be scaled. Any scaling applied will preserve the rank order of
raw marks (i.e. if your raw mark exceeds that of another student, then your scaled mark
will exceed the scaled mark of that student), and may be either up or down.
Policies
ANU has educational policies, procedures and guidelines, which are designed to ensure
that staff and students are aware of the Universitys academic standards, and implement
them. You can find the Universitys education policies and an explanatory glossary at:

Privacy Notice
The ANU has made a number of third party, online, databases available for students to
use. Use of each online database is conditional on student end users first agreeing to the
database licensors terms of service and/or privacy policy. Students should read these
