Edge cases

Zero credit, employment, and the two empty responses that mean different things
View as Markdown

The responses that are easy to misread. The last two matter most: both come back with no credit at all, and they mean opposite things.

Recognised, no credit

Study older than ten years is recognised but earns nothing. The credit comes back granted with uoc: 0 — not rejected, because no officer refused it. The rule awarded zero.

Credit for employment

The source is a job rather than study, identified by its occupation code — so the source type is work_experience and there is no subject.

Awards
ECON5248, ECON6202separate decisions, both sourced from the same job

The rule lists three eligible units; the work-experience cap stops it at two, and that cap warning is what routes it to review.

Result: 12 UOC, workflowStatus: CREDIT_TEAM_REVIEW.

Assessed, nothing awarded

A finished assessment that awards nothing. This is the case most often mistaken for a failure.

Not yet assessed

Submitted through this API, which stops at RECEIVED. Compare it with case 06 — the two responses look almost identical and mean opposite things.

Awards
(none)assessed: false, finalOutcome: false, credits: []

Applications submitted through this API are not yet picked up for assessment automatically. Until that ships, every one of them looks like this.

Result: assessed: false — nothing has picked it up.
