To be eligible for a Pass Conceded, the following requirements need to be satisfied:

1. You are one credit point short of completing your course (e.g. you have completed 23 of 24 credit points)
2. A unit result of between 45% and 49% (inclusive) for the unit for which the pass conceded grade is being considered
3. You have not failed any hurdle requirement for the unit
4. You have not failed the unit due to the outcome of a substantiated breach of academic integrity or misconduct
5. You have not previously been awarded a PC grade:
   1. for any other unit in your single degree, or
   2. for any other unit in the relevant component of a double degree

Outcome: if awarded, final unit will become a PC grade and student will be eligible to graduate

To be eligible for a Supplementary Assessment, the following requirements need to be satisfied:

1. You are one credit point short of completing your course (e.g. you have completed 23 of 24 credit points)
2. A mark/grade of between 40 N and 49 N (inclusive) in that unit
3. The unit must have been studied in the last 12 months. For example:
   1. If your final study period is Trimester 3, consideration can be given for units you studied in the preceding Trimester 2 or Trimester 1
   2. If your final study period was Trimester 1, and you didn't study in the previous Trimester 3, consideration is only given to the final study period and the preceding Trimester 2
   3. If your final study period was Trimester 2, consideration is only given to the final study period, the preceding Trimester 1 and Trimester 3 (if studied).
   4. If your final study period is Semester 2, consideration is given to units in this final study period and the preceding Semester 1.
4. You have not failed the unit due to the outcome of a substantiated breach of academic integrity or misconduct

If you have attempted the unit multiple times, consideration will only be given to your most recent attempt of the unit.

Outcome: If awarded, a Supplementary Assessment (either an assessment task or exam) with a maximum possible final mark/grade of 50P will be awarded. If a 50P is not achieved, the result will revert to the published result prior to Supplementary Assessment being granted.

Where a relevant unit had an exam, you will be offered a supplementary exam (SAE) to be scheduled in the next available supplementary/special exam period.

Where the relevant unit did not have an exam, you will be offered a supplementary piece of assessment (SAA), to be organised by the faculty.

No further special consideration is available to a student completing a supplementary assessment.

You may be eligible to apply for either a Pass Conceded or Supplementary Assessment.

Pass Conceded applications that are deemed eligible will award you a 'PC' grade with no mark value and will be listed against the unit on your academic transcript.

In some cases (e.g. professional recognition requirements), you may need to consider applying for a Supplementary Assessment instead.

Supplementary Assessment applications that are deemed eligible may either award you a supplementary assessment item (e.g. assignment) or a supplementary exam, at the discretion of the Faculty Committee and Unit Chair.

• The maximum mark/grade that will be awarded to you will be a 50P, irrespective of your performance.
• If you fail your supplementary assessment, your final grade will revert to the original mark/grade for that unit with no further opportunity for additional assessment or review.

If you are eligible for both, the Faculty Committee will usually award you a PC grade.

Pass Conceded applications that are deemed eligible and awarded will list a 'PC' grade with no mark value against the unit on your academic transcript.

Supplementary Assessment applications that are deemed eligible will award you a final mark/grade that is calculated based on your performance in the supplementary assessment item and the unit overall. This final mark/grade may still be a fail.

Applications for either Pass Conceded or Supplementary Assessment will be considered in accordance with the Assessment (Higher Education Courses) Procedure (clauses 121-128).

Faculty of Arts and Education

Placement units - Applications for PC grade or Supplementary Assessment will only be considered when the placement component (hurdle requirement) has been successfully completed.

Faculty of Business and Law

The professional accreditation requirements for the JD and LLB mean that a Pass Conceded grade is not available even where all criteria have been met. If you are in this category, please seek advice from a student adviser.

Faculty of Health

• A PC grade cannot be awarded to courses with professional registration requirements.
• Neither PC grades nor Supplementary Assessments will be awarded for placement units and units that are worth more than one credit point.
