Completion Records and Credit Arrangements The University will make digital completion records available to learners as soon as possible after they have completed the requirements of the short course. UOW Malaysia may award the following types of certificates on successful completion of a short course: 2.1. Microcredential Certificate of Attainment – upon successful completion of microcredentials, including satisfactory performance on assessments that assure learning outcomes have been achieved. Learners who achieve a Microcredential Certificate of Attainment may qualify for recognition of prior learning towards a UOW Malaysia award course, however, they must apply for the award course and meet the entry requirements to qualify. Credit shall be granted in accordance with the Credit Transfer Policy. This means that more than one short course may need to be completed before credit can be applied for. Eligibility for credit transfer will be advised to learners prior to enrolment in microcredentials, in line with the credit agreement approved upon establishment of the short course. Grades of performance will be recorded on the learner record. Learners will not be considered UOW Malaysia graduates of any type and will not be able to infer the successful completion of a UOW Malaysia award course. Academic Appeals A learner may request a review of their mark or grade or appeal an academic decision of the Short Course Convenor. The learner must first seek to resolve the matter informally with their Short Course Convenor. If the learner is unable to resolve the matter informally they may apply in writing for a review from the Faculty Short Course Director. The University will ensure that learners who formally request a review of a Short Course Convenor’s decision will have: their matter acknowledged and handled promptly; their matter treated confidentially and not discussed with anyone who does not need to know about it; any relevant circumstances or information they put forward taken into consideration; their matter handled with regard to procedural fairness and in accordance with principles of natural justice; the outcome of a review request provided in writing; assurance that they will not be treated differently, less favourably, or victimised because they have raised their matter.
