Reference to TPA changed to GTPA References to the Teaching Performance Assessment (TPA) have been changed to the Graduate Teaching Performance Assessment Admission Rules - Transferring students A clarification of admission rules relating to students transferring from one award to another has been added. This clarification of the admission requirements, will avoid any issues of students being able to use their initial method of application to UNE as the basis for admission, when their latest studies are not meeting the admission requirements. Progression Requirements & Exit Pathways Students unable to pass the mandatory requirements of LANTITE clauses have been added to all ITE awards for 2021 to indicate that students unable to pass LANTITE will be transferred to a non-teaching award. This is commensurate with the GTPA requirement which is already present.
