This policy is effective to 31/12/2021. From 1/1/2022 please refer to the new Student Results Policy effective 1/1/2022.
Intent
This policy articulates the principles of management of student academic results.
Principles
- The University will have a clear set of student result identifiers which will be used across all campuses and modes of delivery.
- Student results will be determined through both individual academic scrutiny and oversight by a College Assessment Committee to ensure fair and equitable results.
- Subject results are provided to students in a timely manner to assist students in determining course progression and study plans.
Scope
This policy only applies to:
- students studying undergraduate and postgraduate coursework subjects; and
- staff administering undergraduate and postgraduate coursework subjects.
Definitions
Definitions of terms used in this policy are as per the Policy Glossary.
- For the purposes of this policy, “Certify” refers to endorsement and “Ratify” refers to the expression of approval as specified in the Academic and Student Delegations Register
- Results Publication Date is the date that ratified subject results are made available to students.
- Unless specifically excluded, “Dean”, “Dean of College” and “College Dean” refer to the Dean or equivalent delegated authority for the relevant Academic Unit and their delegate(s).
- Unless specifically excluded, “DVC” and “Deputy Vice-Chancellor” refer to the Deputy Vice-Chancellor of the relevant Division.
Policy
1. Finalisation and Publication of Student Results
1.1 Each Study Period shall have a designated Results Publication Date which is approved by Academic Board for each academic year. The Results Publication Date shall be no more than 28 calendar days from the designated End Date for the study period. The results for subjects taught in the Study Period shall be released on the Results Publication Date for that Study Period.
1.2 It is the responsibility of College Deans to ensure that subject results are certified, and the responsibility of the Director, Academic Quality and Strategy to ensure that subject results are ratified, by the designated ratification date (determined by the Director, Student Services).
1.3 It is the responsibility of Subject Coordinators to ensure that all staff marking assessable items in the subject are informed of deadlines for the completion of marking and submission of results.
1.4 The Assessment Committee must ensure that the awarding of the final subject result in a chained subject sequence considers the full chain of subjects. The final chained subject result is considered to be the final subject result for each subject within the chained sequence.
1.5 Student results can only be changed in accordance with the Finalisation and Publication of Student Results Procedure.
2. Standard System of Reporting Results
2.1 Final Results for Coursework Subjects
The following codes will be used when awarding final results for all coursework subjects:

P | 50%-64% | Pass |

S | Satisfactory (a passing level in an ungraded subject) | |
N | <50% | Fail |
U | Unsatisfactory (failed to reach a passing level in an ungraded subject) | |
WD | Withdrawn (withdrew before the prescribed last date for withdrawal without academic penalty) (Administrative process only) | |

2.1.2 An ‘X’ shall not be awarded to a student who completes assessment requirements worth 80% or more of the total marks for the subject, except as provided for by 2.1.3. Such students should be awarded either a passing result or an ‘N’, as appropriate, as a final result.
2.1.3 Students who are awarded a fail for a subject as a result of being proved guilty of academic misconduct will be awarded an ‘X’.
