If you have failed a subject, please see the corresponding FAQ page for advice on the following:
- How to plan out and enrol into your remaining studies
- Effects on academic progress
- Implications on student visas
- Assessing why you failed
- Available support services
If you are disappointed about your results and want to seek a review, the first step is to seek feedback by contacting your subject coordinator about the reasons for your grade. The results review page explains the formal process for appealing a grade and we recommending reading assessment disputes information published by the Student Union.
Please note, if you would like to sit a 'make-up' exam, this can only be facilitated if you are granted special or supplementary assessment.
Special assessment (which may be a special exam) is awarded as a special consideration outcome. After the final results release date, you cannot apply for special consideration. The only exception to this rule is where you can demonstrate that exceptional circumstances prevented you from applying for special consideration by the due date.
For more information about application deadlines, please visit the special consideration page.

If you've failed a single subject in your last year of study, and would otherwise have completed your course, you might be eligible for Final Subject Assessment (FSA).
If you meet the strict eligibility criteria, you may be offered an additional assessment for the failed subject to successfully pass your course.
Please note, you can’t apply for FSA. Your faculty will advise you if you're eligible and your FSA will likely be conducted in the special and supplementary exam period for either study period.

A WAF grade means that a subject result is withheld pending the finalisation of an assessment. This can be used in situations where:
- A special assessment (not held during the special or supplementary exam period) has been awarded as an outcome of a special consideration application
- Other additional assessment is being considered
- The result has been withheld pending the outcome of an academic misconduct hearing.
If you’ve received a WAF grade for a subject, please check your student email regularly for further information from your faculty.
If you have not received information from your Faculty after 10 business days of the WAF grade being visible, please contact your subject coordinator for information.

You can make a request to your Subject Coordinator to access your examination scripts from the previous semester at any time before the end of the second week of the following semester. Your Subject Coordinator may have already published their own procedures for Exam Reviews. If you are unsure, please see your Subject Guide or email them directly.
In the rare case where examination procedures are not complete at the beginning of the following semester, you will be given at least two weeks following the publication of results to request your examination scripts.

If you’re concerned about a result, start by reading the information on failing a subject. This explains some of the reasons you may receive a failing grade and what you can do next.
How can I get feedback on my result?
If you have questions about your mark, contact your Subject Coordinator first. They can explain how your work was assessed and the reasons for your result.
This discussion is an opportunity to understand your result. It does not automatically mean that your assessment will be remarked or your mark changed.
If you want to view an exam paper, you can request a script viewing session. Some departments, schools and faculties hold scheduled viewing sessions. If there is no scheduled session for your subject, contact your Subject Coordinator.
When can I request a review of my result?
After receiving feedback, you can request a review if you believe an examiner has made an error in academic judgement.
You are not automatically entitled to have your result reviewed or your work marked by a different examiner. The Chair of the Board of Examiners may determine whether the original mark was correct and whether a review should take place.
If your assessment is remarked, your mark may increase, decrease or stay the same.
You must request a review within 10 business days of your result being published.
If the Chair of the Board of Examiners determines that the original mark was correct, the result will not be reviewed further.
Decisions based only on academic judgement by an examiner or the Board of Examiners cannot be appealed through the student complaints and grievances or student appeals processes.
