•    Student performance is being properly, fairly and consistently judged for all students undertaking the same course of study; and
•    Standards expected of, and achieved by, students are appropriate, reliable and comparable to good practice at the University and nationally.

Standardisation of assessment may result in a student’s mark being amended. This is your guarantee that your results are comparable to Federation University results in all locations.
