Potential Options for Fail Grades
Withdrawn Grade
You may be eligible to have your fail grade converted to a Withdrawn (WDN) grade. A WDN does not count towards your GPA or WAM. It is also not included in the calculations to trigger unsatisfactory academic progress.
You have 10 university working days from the release of results to submit your application. There are strict eligibility criteria such as:
-
Your special circumstances occurred or became worse after 31 August
-
You have a supporting letter from a professional regarding your special circumstances
-
You have no findings of academic misconduct for the unit

Fee Refunds or HECS Adjustment
If you are eligible to apply for WDN then you can also apply for a fee refund or a HECS adjustment. (Note, for a fee refund or HECS adjustment you are still eligible if you have a finding of misconduct for the unit) You can apply at the same time using the same supporting documents as WDN.
More information about fee refunds
Correction of Marks
You can request a grade change only if you identify an error (such as an incorrect late penalty). Please note a student cannot request a correction on the basis that they do not agree. For correction of marks, please contact your Chief Examiner within 10 days of the release of results.
Supplementary Assessment
For any eligible units, students will automatically be offered a supplementary assessment — no need to opt in. If you would like to opt out, we recommend that you opt-out within 5 working days of receiving your results.

What Else Do You Need To Know?
Notice of Unsatisfactory Progress
It’s important to check your emails on Tuesday 10th December to see if your fail grade has triggered unsatisfactory academic progress. If you receive a Notice of Unsatisfactory Progress (NoUP) from the university, you will be allocated an academic progress level from 1-3. You will also be asked to fill in a response form.
If you’re allocated level 3, please contact MONSU Student Rights + Support for confidential and independent advice. We can provide feedback on your draft response before you submit it.
Hints + Tips to Complete Response Form
Level 3 students who don’t submit their response form by the due date, can be excluded at an Academic Progress Committee (APC) hearing without the right of appeal. Make sure to check the due date and make sure you submit your response on time.
If you’re called to an APC hearing, MONSU Student Rights + Support can attend the hearing with you as your support person. For confidential and independent support at your hearing, tick the box on the form saying ‘permission to release details to my student support team’.
