FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS - FAQs
Do I need to obtain 50% in each assessment to pass a subject?
NO, in order to pass any subject, you need to meet two requirements, namely achieve an overall mark of 50
or more AND obtain at least 40% of possible marks in the final examination (hurdle or threshold
requirement). There is no hurdle or threshold requirement for assessments other than the final examination
though and you can still pass the subject if you got less than 50% in any assessment – excluding the final
examination.
I missed an assessment for a subject, do I now fail the subject?
Whilst Holmes Institute requires that you attempt all pieces of assessments prescribed for any subject, there
may be circumstances, where you can still pass a subject even if you have missed an assessment. When you
miss a class test due to medical reasons and you submit a medical certificate within three working days, for
example, you may be eligible to have the weight of the class test added to the final examination. Please see
the Student Handbook for details.
Can I view my assessments?
As a student, you are entitled to view any of your assessments, that is any assignment but also the class test
for any subject, and upon request/application also the final examination script. Please note that viewing any
assessment is an administrative process and no academic advice is given and students are neither allowed to
take pictures or notes of the assessment. Students are only allowed to view any assessment with an
administrator present, and for a limited period of time (please check the Student Handbook for details). Other
than assignments, the class test and examination script remains the property of Holmes Institute.
Where can I see my marks and grades?
All your results will be available via the Grade Centre on your Blackboard. You can access the results for each
subject in the respective folder. Please ensure that you familiarise yourself with the letter grades, especially
for the temporary grades of NS (supplementary examination awarded) and ND (deferred examination), which
can be found earlier in this subject outline.
I got a final result of 52/NS. Have I passed the subject?
NO, as the letter grade NS (supplementary examination awarded) indicates, you have not passed the subject,
but you have been awarded the opportunity to pass the subject if you successfully pass the supplementary
examination. Please familiarise yourself with the Supplementary Examination Policy in the Student Handbook.
When do I need to attempt a NS/supplementary or ND/deferred examination?
If you have been awarded a supplementary (NS) or deferred (ND) examination, you are required to sit the
examination during the next examination period for these examinations, which is different from the final
examination period at the end of the teaching period each trimester.
I missed to sit for a NS/supplementary or ND/deferred examination, do I have to repeat the subject?
YES, if you do not attempt any supplementary or deferred examination during the designated examination
period, you will receive a Fail/NN grade and you have to repeat the subject.
I have a question about the subject material and/or assessments, who do I contact?
For any questions related to any subject you study, the first point of contact is always your lecturer. The
subject outline includes the contact details of each lecturer on each campus. Please ensure that you use your
Holmes Webmail for any email correspondence with your lecturer.
I did not submit my assignment by the due date, can I still submit and receive marks?
If you submit your assignment after the due date, penalties of 5% of the weight of the assignment apply per
day that you submit late. A maximum penalty of 50% applies. Your lecturer may not accept your assignment if
you submit later than 14 days after the due date. If you are late with your assignment, please contact your
lecturer.
I am not a member of a group for my group assignment. What do I do, can I submit individually?
If you work submit a group assignment individually, you may be penalized and only receive 50% of the mark
of your assignment. If you don’t have a group to work with, please urgently consult your lecturer.
I have problems with members in my group. What can I do, who do I contact?
Undergraduate Program HC2112 Services Marketing and Relationship Marketing

Each group is required to manage its members and contributions. In exceptional circumstances, however, and
where initial negotiation attempts of the group members were unsuccessful, you should contact your
lecturer.
