A new unit of study is created when a unit is developed for the first time or when an existing unit is subject to significant change. Any change to title, code, credit points or Australian Standard Classification of Education (ASCED funding classification) coding, which may result from a major change of content, would result in a new unit creation.
At its most basic, a unit consists of a description, resources and a unique set of unit learning outcomes, the achievement of which are measured by appropriate assessment tasks.
