  • For hexamesters, results are released exclusively via myʹڲƱ at 4:00pm.

Apply for Review of Results

If you believe the result for any of your assessment tasks doesn’t reflect your performance, you can apply for a Review of Results. However, note that a review of your results is not automatically approved and may lead to your grade either going up or down.

  • The following reasons are not grounds for a request for Review of Results:

    • Challenges to the specified learning outcomes of the course;
    • Challenges to the assessment methods approved for the course;
    • Challenges to the standard required to receive particular marks/grades in the course;
    • Study overload;
    • Financial implications of not passing the course;
    • Marks/grades received by other students;
    • Lack of language proficiency;
    • The need for additional marks to achieve a higher grade or weighted average mark (WAM); and/or
    • A penalty imposed on a student for academic misconduct in accordance with University policies and procedures.
    1. Discuss your performance in the assessment with the Course Authority.
    2. After the discussion, if you still believe that the mark you've received does not reflect your performance, you may apply for Review of Results. 
      Note: Keep all marked work in case it is needed for re-marking.

    You must submit no later than 5 working days from the date of Release of Results or when the assessment is returned to you (excludes days within the ʹڲƱ Shutdown period and public holidays).

    • Please ensure you have reviewed the reasons that are not grounds for a Review of Results.

      You must provide a clear reason for requesting a Review of Results and include supporting evidence, such as references to the marking rubric. Requests without adequate justification or evidence may be declined by the Course Authority.

      • For group assessments, all group members must agree to the request. You must include the zID of each group member, as the outcome may affect everyone’s results.
      • If you’ve been suspended, excluded, or terminated due to poor academic standing, you must still submit an appeal by the deadline—even if your review outcome is pending. This protects your position in case the review is unsuccessful.

      Proceed with your enrolment as usual, as your mark may remain unchanged.

For reviews of Term 2 2025 results released on 4 September 2025, the deadline to apply is 11:59pm, Thursday 11 September 2025.

Withheld results

There are three withheld grades:

WC

Result not finalised. The student has submitted a request for Special Consideration, for which the outcome is pending.

WD

Result not finalised. The student has not submitted or completed one or more components of the assessment requirement.

WJ

Result finalised but not released. Awaiting the outcome of an unresolved matter.

If you receive a WC or WD grade you must contact your  within the specified time noted in the course handout, but in any case no more than 5 days after the release of results, as it might be necessary to organise further assessment. You will be aware of the unresolved matter that a WJ grade relates to.

Withheld and late entry grades (WC, WD and LE) are assessed differently across ʹڲƱ Sydney and ʹڲƱ Canberra, depending on the term or semester and your previous academic standing.

  • Following release of results at the end of Term 1, 2 and 3, initially all withheld and late entry grades (WC, WD and LE) will result in an academic standing level of Pending, if these grades prevent the determination of a true academic standing level.

    Once the deadline for Suspension or Exclusion has passed, withheld grades of WD and WC are treated as Fails if the student's previous term's academic standing was not Good. This is to ensure that students who may be at risk of failure are identified early and can consult an  before finalising their enrolment for the next term.

    If your academic standing is Suspension or Exclusion and you are awaiting the outcome of a:

    • Special Consideration application
    • Supplementary Assessment
    • Supplementary Exam
    • Review of Results application
    • Conduct and Integrity matter

    Then you are strongly encouraged to lodge an appeal by the deadline specified in the Academic Standing communication you received following the release of results. As there is no way of knowing the outcome of such matters, you must lodge your appeal by the specified deadline as you will not be given the opportunity to lodge a late appeal, nor will any extensions be granted.

  • Initially all withheld and late entry grades (WC, WD and LE) result in an academic standing level of Pending if these grades prevent the determination of a true academic standing level. Once the deadline for Suspension or Exclusion has passed, withheld grades of WD and WC are treated as Fails if the student's previous semester's academic standing was not Good. This is to ensure that students who may be at risk of failure are identified early and can consult an  before finalising their next semester's enrolment.

Withheld result finalisation deadlines

    • Term 3 2024: 7 February 2025
    • Summer Term 2025: 7 March 2025
    • Term 1 2025: 20 June 2025
    • Term 2 2025: 3 October 2025
    • Semester 2 2024: 7 February 2025
    • Summer Semester 2025: 14 March 2025
    • Semester 1 2025: 1 August 2025

Any results not finalised by the set deadline will be converted to a course not completed grade (NC). This grade counts as a Fail in the calculation of academic standing and academic progression.
