Step one: Check your results

Check your results on the day they are released. If you have any units with a grade of NS, this means you have met the eligibility criteria and will be automatically given a supplementary assessment.

If any of your units have a WH (withheld) grade, you’ll need to wait for these results to be finalised before you’ll know if you have a supplementary assessment for that unit.

The details of your supplementary assessment won’t be published right away – but it’s a good idea to start thinking about whether you’d like to complete the assessment as soon as you get your results.

Eligibility criteria

• you receive a mark of 45 to 49 for the unit and your grade is either N (fail) or NH (hurdle fail), and your results show NS (supplementary assessment). You won’t be eligible for a supplementary assessment if you receive a grade of NGO or NSR. If your grade is NH but your result isn't showing as NS, you may not be eligible as your unit offers additional assessments – check the Handbook entry or Moodle for details.
• the unit offers supplementary assessments – supplementary assessments aren’t offered for some units because of the way they’re taught (e.g. professional practice, clinical placements and project-based units). You can check if your unit offers supplementary assessments by checking its entry in the Handbook.
• you haven’t completed a deferred or rescheduled deferred assessment for the unit.
• you don’t have a finding of academic misconduct with a zero mark penalty applied to an assessment task worth 20 per cent or more.
