Withheld result for a subject

A withheld result for a subject may be granted as follows:

Withheld GradeDescriptionWhen the grade will be used
WHWithheld
  • If the result is not finalised
  • If you are to complete an additional assessment conducted by the faculty (not ARD)
  • If there is an outstanding grievance or misconduct
  • Other reasons the faculty may have for withholding the result
WDWithheld - Academic Consideration - Supplementary ExamIf you have applied for Academic Consideration and is to sit a supplementary exam conducted by ARD
WSWithheld - Supplementary Assessment - Supplementary ExamIf as a result of being close to passing the subject, you have been offered a supplementary exam conducted by ARD
WHEWithheld - ExtensionIf an extension has been granted on the withheld resul


Where a WH, WS, WD or ND result is allocated these results must be declared 10 weeks after the release of result date. If an extension after this 10 week period is required, the faculty must submit a request for a four (4) week extension. Failure to request an extension will result in an automatic fail grade being given after the 10 week period.

Where a WH, WS, WD or ND result is granted, it is your responsibility to contact the relevant academic unit as soon as practical. Failure to do so may result in an automatic fail grade being determined after 10 weeks from the release of results.

If you have a withheld result at the time of results release, the result will normally become available within a few days. We suggest that you check the web every couple of days, and contact your lecturer if the delay is longer. We will not contact you when the result becomes available as a result of the large number of results that can be delayed by a few days.


Withheld result for a course

There are a number of reasons why all your results may be withheld:

    * you have not paid a fee or charge after due notice has been given
    * you are facing disciplinary proceedings.

You will know that your results have been withheld if they are entirely blocked from view in SOLS or the results for each of your subjects show as 'WITHHELD'.
