Understand Job-Ready Graduates pass rate requirements

If you commenced your course from 1 January 2022 and are in a Commonwealth Supported Place, or are using one of the Commonwealth Government loan schemes (e.g., HECS-HELP or FEE-HELP), you need to be aware of the requirement to maintain a unit pass rate of 50% or above.
