Failed Units

When a student fails a unit then they may be eligible to take that unit again in future time periods or intakes. The following enrolment outcomes are considered equivalent for the purposes of this test:

  • ENROLMENT_WITHDRAWN

  • ENROLMENT_FAILED

Meeting pre-requisites for future time periods in the current time period

It is common practice for providers to open unit registrations to students before the results of the current time period have been ratified or published. When this practice is followed it is necessary to make the assumption that the student will, all things being equal, complete their currently enrolled units at the end of the current time period. This is necessary when there are pre-requisite rules defined on the course plan.

Paradigm considers the following enrolment status codes as equivalent to the student having successfully completed the unit for the purposes of allowing students to perform new unit enrolment:

  • ENROLMENT_COMPLETED

  • ENROLMENT_EXEMPT

  • ENROLMENT_SATISFIED

  • ENROLMENT_TRANS_CRED

These status codes are only considered when the course plan is set as open to students, meaning when the current date is within the date range defined in the configuration period UNIT_ENROLMENT
