What is a supplementary exam and how do I know if I have one? If you fail a topic and receive a mark between 45% to 49%, you’ll automatically be awarded a supplementary exam. This gives you a second chance to pass the topic. Supplementary exam(s) will be indicated on your topic results in the Student System (e.g. F/A). You’ll also be notified by email and SMS (if your mobile number is recorded in the Student System). In Semester 2, the supplementary exam period is 9 December to 14 December. The supplementary examination timetable will be released on Saturday 7 December. (Note: some supplementary exams held by the Topic Coordinator or College may be scheduled outside of these dates. You will be notified if this is the case). See the Assessment Policy and Procedures for more information. |

 |
Deferred examinations If you have been offered a deferred assessment, you will see a deferred assessment indicator on your results. E.g. I/M (*/M indicates a deferred assessment has been awarded on medical or compassionate grounds). The deferred examination timetable will be released on Saturday 7 December. Some deferred exams may be held by the Topic Coordinator or College and could be scheduled outside of the dates stated above. You will be notified if this is the case. See the Assessment Policy and Procedures for more information. |

The process for topic grading Final topic grades are available after they have been certified by the College Examinations Board. The result shown in the Student System is the overall grade you have been awarded. It won’t show you the results of each assessment piece or exam. If you require these details, please contact your Topic Coordinator. Grades are usually awarded according to the following: Pass Level (P) 50 – 64 | Credit (CR) 65 – 74 | Distinction (DN) 75 – 84 | High Distinction (HD) 85 – 100 | Fail (F) 0 – 49. See the Assessment Policy and Procedures for more information. |
