Temporary Grades
Incomplete (I), Result Pending (N) Deferred Exam (J) & Re-assessable Fail (R)

All temporary grades will be converted to final grades as soon as possible, usually by the main census date in the following teaching session. If you are studying in Australia, enquiries regarding any temporary grade should be referred directly to your unit coordinator. If you are studying offshore, you should refer enquiries to your program administrator.

Grades Withheld

If you have a 'Grade Withheld' status it is likely that you have outstanding fees and have had an encumbrance placed on your student record.

Please follow the instructions on our encumbrance page for what you need to do to get your encumbrance lifted.

Determination of marks and grades

Your unit outline must set out whether any marks gained in part or all of the assessment will be modified or scaled. For example, you might achieve high marks but 'fail' the unit if a particular assessment task threshold has not been achieved.

Can I apply for a Review of Grade?

Results and progression

Your end of session results will be checked against the progression rules, for more information view the progression pages.

The University draws upon the following grades for both undergraduate and postgraduate courses:

Grade	Notation	%	Descriptors
High Distinction	H	100-85	Work of outstanding quality, broadly speaking, which may be demonstrated by means of criticism, logical argument, interpretation of materials or use of methodology. This grade may also be given to recognise particular originality or creativity.
Distinction	D	84-75	Work of superior quality demonstrating a sound grasp of content, together with efficient organisation and selectivity.
Credit	C	74-65	Work of good quality showing more than satisfactory achievement.
Pass	P	64-50	Work showing satisfactory achievement.
Satisfactory	S		Student has met defined criteria at an appropriate level within a specified time. Only used for ungraded assessments.
Fail	F	49-0	Unsatisfactory performance
Unsatisfactory	U		Student has not met defined criteria at an appropriate level within a specified time. Only used for ungraded assessments.
Practicum Fail	PF		Student has failed to satisfy criteria for practicum assessment and will not progress further in the unit (and course if the unit is compulsory). A PF grade must be approved by Head of School and submitted with supporting documentation.
Compulsory Fail	CF		Student has failed an assessment component(s) of the unit that must be passed in order to pass the unit. Irrespective of performance in other assessment components, and the percentage mark for the unit, the student has failed the unit.
Withdrawn (without academic penalty)	W		Student provides evidence of serious illness or misadventure experienced after the relevant census date.
Absent Fail	AF		Student has not officially withdrawn from the unit and has failed to complete one or more of the compulsory assessment requirements for the unit.
Continuing	Y		Unit continues over more than one teaching session (including non-standard teaching sessions) and final assessment has not been made.

Temporary grades

All temporary grades should be finalised before the main census date following the initial application of the grade. Where a result is not finalised within the timeframe, an AF grade (absent fail) will be recorded. In certain circumstances an 'I' grade or 'N' grade may continue past the relevant census date when approved by the Head of School. The outstanding result will be finalised by the end of the next teaching period.

Grade	Notation	Descriptors
Incomplete	I	Assessment tasks incomplete due to illness or misadventure.
Deferred Exam	J	Formal approval granted for the student to sit an alternate exam to the formal scheduled exam due to illness or misadventure.
Result Pending	N	Grade still to be finalised
Re-assessable Fail	R	Re-assessable fail (with the provision for further assignment or other work), which must be converted to Pass or Fail

Administrative grades

Fail - Discontinued	E	A student has withdrawn from the unit after the relevant census date without authorisation.
Academic Credit - Specified	K	Academic credit for specified core or elective units.
Academic Credit – Unspecified	L	Academic credit for non specified core or elective units.
