Applying for Supplementary Assessment
If you fail a topic and receive a mark between 45-49%, you do not need to apply for a Supplementary Examination; you will automatically be awarded this.
In accordance with the University's Policy on Supplementary Assessment, students are eligible to apply for Supplementary Assessment on medical grounds/compassionate grounds only if their medical/compassionate circumstances prevent them from either sitting or remaining for the duration of the examination concerned. If you need to apply for Supplementary Assessment based on medical and/or compassionate grounds, you will need to complete a Supplementary Application Form (DOC 94KB) and submit this to your Faculty within 3 working days of the examination taking place or assignment due date. Your application will be considered by the Faculty and you will be notified of the outcome accordingly.
Please view the assessment policy for further information.
If you have been offered Supplementary Assessment
If you have been offered Supplementary Assessment, you will see a Supplementary indicator on your Academic Transcript. Eg P/M (*/M indicates Supplementary Assessment has been awarded on medical or compassionate grounds) or F/A (*/A indicates a Supplementary Assessment has been awarded on academic grounds).
Supplementary Assessment can be in a wide variety of formats, however, if you missed your final examination due to illness or compassionate reasons, your Supplementary Assessment would normally take the form of an examination. The Supplementary examination timetable for Semester 1 can be released up to 24 hours prior to the examination period commencing due to tight marking deadlines. The Semester 2 Supplementary examination timetable will generally be published in the week prior to the Supplementary examination period taking place. Please ensure the Student Information System is monitored for details of your personalised Supplementary examination dates, times and seating allocation (Note, seating allocation will only appear when the timetable is in 'Final' status).
The Examinations Office conducts Supplementary examinations in July for Semester 1 topics and January/February of the following year for Semester 2 topics.
Some Supplementary examinations held by the Topic Coordinator or School may be scheduled earlier/later than these dates. You will be notified by your Faculty/School if this is the case.
