The times and days available (usually Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays only) between 9:00am and 10:00pm when the CCP closes. This will be announced by the head of the school or their representative at the commencement of each term. The students must realise that this is provided as a privilege and not an obligation on the Centre’s behalf and should be treated accordingly.

    Under no circumstances should a student assume that they will be tutored by the person supervising the open studio day, this may occur only with an appointment with the person supervising any particular session.

    Extra space available during other class times may be negotiated between the student requesting the privilege and the lecturer in charge of the unit-availability is purely at the discretion of the lecturer in charge at the time. All scheduled students and classes for any particular booked space for a class will have priority for the scheduled time in any event.

    Therefore it is the student’s responsibility to:

    Book the necessary space required beforehand providing their name, time of entry and a contact number for the CENTRE.

    Be confident in the use and safe handling of required equipment.

    Report any breakages

    Clean up before they leave.

    6.1 CONDITIONS

    1. Students and classes scheduled for that time will always be given preference for the available space/studio.

    2. Students may only book equipment for which they have been trained and are confident of its use and safe handling.

    3. Facilities booked under this arrangement must be for the completion of course work only.

    4. Work for which an individual will receive remuneration of any kind, must be completed only after arranging to hire the facilities at the current going rate.

    8 Umbrellas, clamps, gels, cords, cables etc. all have their place to be stored.

    9. Report all breakages so they can be repaired.

    10. If you are unsure of where certain items need to be placed, please ask.

    Any extra time here is a privilege and requires responsibility from all who use the Centre. By paying attention to these obligations, we anticipate your time spent at the CCP. will be safer, more enjoyable and rewarding.

  • Each student’s end of term review or final assessment for this course will be based on the following criteria;

    Technical Competence:

    Technique is seen as a means to an end. It must be acquired to a level adequate to the level of concepts with which an individual is working.

    Conceptual Progress:

    The quantity of work or technical ability is not the sole criteria for passing any of the subjects undertaken in the course. The CENTRE FOR CREATIVE PHOTOGRAPHY philosophy recognisees the importance of these however the quality of the concepts and ideas that an individual is expressing in the medium of photography are considered of greater importance. Creative growth must be evident in each year and throughout the course for academic progress to be possible. Conceptual progress in both practice and theory will carry the greatest weight in student evaluation. Students will also be expected to exhibit an increasing level of conceptualisation and creativity as they progress through the course.

    Group and General Involvement:

    Student enthusiasm and participation is considered essential to achieve a higher level in any creative endeavour. Their lecturer for that class will also therefore assess students on their commitment towards their participation in each class. This will be considered as an on-going process. As part of this notion, it is therefore the student’s responsibility to advise the school if they expect to be either absent or late for any particular class.

    Attendance:

    Attendance will be recorded at mandatory lectures, excursions and workshops and 80% prompt arrival and participation will be expected as a minimal commitment.

    The roll book will be marked thus:

    A tick for present

    A absent

    AA absent advised

    L late

    LA late advised

    W withdrawn

    Procedures

    Students will be informed in writing at the beginning of a unit of the criteria of assessment and the methods of assessment for each unit.

    All assessments will have a co-assessor who is familiar with the subject to afford impartiality, unless it is a VET in SACE class, to wich it is most appropriate for students to be graded by their lecturer.

    The lecturer in charge of the unit will award results after the assessment for that unit in consultation with the co-assessor.

    Results may then be reviewed at random by the Principal Lecturer in order to maintain a level of impartiality or to establish a “benchmark” for assessment. If there are any problems, the student in question’s work will be called in for review. Students should be made aware that their work must be retained after their assessment in the event that their work is in fact required for review.

    Students in their independent study module will also provide a written statement of 200-500 words explaining the aims and origins of their work as part of their studio theory requirements. This will be provided to the lecturer supervising the student at a time negotiated between the student and lecturer, but nevertheless at the commencement of the term.

    Due dates for assignments will always provide a reasonable amount of time for students to complete the work set and it is expected that completed work will be submitted by the due dates.

    Each assessment may be accompanied by comments written by the lecturer explaining the assessment outcome indicating strengths and/or difficulties. Lecturers will undertake to conduct assessments and to inform students of their results promptly.

    Records of each students’ assessment will be kept separately and contain the outcome and lecturer’s comments for individual assessments plus a general progress report.

    In certain circumstances, a student may negotiate an alternative assessment/assignment with the lecturer provided there is enough time to complete the work by the due date.

    Having been informed and having understood the reason for a particular outcome being given for an assessment, a student may negotiate a re-submission of the assignment with the lecturer.

    Absence It is a recognised courtesy to your lecturer and the school if you inform them of any known absences or lateness. This may also be helpful for you in order to have someone record notes on your behalf.

    You will be considered unjustifiably absent from any class after the first half hour/hour of the class commencing without a medical certificate or evidence of non-attendance unless your lateness has been notified - more than two absences may preclude you from assessment.

    Students who have negotiated distance learning arrangements with the Principal Lecturer will have other attendance obligations which will be determined as part of the negotiations.

    Grades In all subjects at the C.C.P. students will be assessed as either; Competency Achieved or Competency not achieved. This will be reflected in the student’s record.

    N.B. Students may opt to have their work graded in which case the grades awarded will be as follows;

    HIGH DISTINCTION 85 - 100%

    DISTINCTION 75 - 84%

    CREDIT 65 - 74%

    PASS 50 - 64%

    Requirements not Met (RNM) 49% or below

    Results Withheld / Assessment Extension Policy

    Results can be withheld when a lecturer in charge of the subject agrees on an extension of time with the student to complete their work for assessment. In this case, the extension must be noted on the assessment form/roll, indicating the date negotiated by which the work will be assessed.

    N.B. The onus is on the student to submit the required work by the negotiated date…it is not the responsibility of the lecturer concerned. If the assessment is not passed in to the lecturer by the negotiated due date, the student will fail for that unit and the unit will need to be repeated. RNM will be recorded on their transcript for that unit.

    Assessment results will not be given for anyone with outstanding fees or books/materials.

    Assessment Grievance Policies and Procedures

    If a student or students are dissatisfied with an assessment they have the right of appeal in which case the following steps should be followed.

    Discuss grievance with the lecturer with the aim of achieving a reasonable outcome; this should be done promptly and in a timely manner.

    In the event that a student is still dissatisfied, then they may request a re-review by the assessment panel - the work must be submitted in a timely manner.

    The assessment panel may comprise the following; the lecturer concerned, the principal lecturer for the subject area, a lecturer from an outside body familiar with the discipline and a student representative.

    The assessment panel will convene with the student to discuss the work and if it is still deemed necessary, the work will be re-assessed. The outcome will be finally determined by the panel.

    An appeal process is in place should you wish to appeal against the outcome of the result of the final assessment.

    In the first instance, contact The Centre for Creative Photography and request an appeal for to be submitted to the Manager of Administration.

    If you are not satisfied with the follow up response by the Centre you are advised to contact the Quality Directorate or the Training Advocate, (8226 3065) and seek advice.
