^^ Joint submission - rankings based on total (combined) FTEs.
† Where the proportion of activity at 4* is equal between submissions, the ranking then looks to the proportion at 3*, then 2*, then 1*, then U/C.
†† Grade point average = (% of activity at 4* x 4) + (% of activity at 3* x 3) + (% of activity at 2* x 2) + (% of activity at 1* x 1).
