If a student appears at risk of not meeting their HSC course requirements, the principal provides written warning, advising actions required to correct the problem. At the end of the course, the principal may determine that a student has not satisfactorily completed a course. A non-completion (‘N’) determination indicates a student has not satisfactorily met course requirements and the course will not be listed on the Record of School Achievement (RoSA) or contribute to the pattern of study for the Higher School Certificate (HSC).
TAFE NSW has the responsibility for issuing the warnings and N determination in accordance with NESA’s published processes and timelines. Collaboration with the Principal in monitoring course completion is essential, as an ‘N’ determination in a VET course may result in a shortfall in a student’s pattern of study, and ineligibility for the HSC.
