Supplementary assessments and exams give you the opportunity to receive a supplementary pass for a subject you failed if:

A) You attempted all assessments AND recorded a final mark between 45% and 49%

OR

B) You were granted special consideration

It is your responsibility to know if you are granted a supplementary exam or assessment and to be available during the secondary exam period.

If you think you are eligible for special consideration you can apply to:

• extend an assessment deadline,
• submit a supplementary assessment,
• re-sit an exam or resubmit an assessment,
• sit an exam at a later date,or
• make modified assessment arrangements

When do I need to submit the form?

Unless it is impossible to do so, the following deadlines apply:

• Exams: If you can't sit an exam due to circumstances beyond your control you must apply within 2 working days of the scheduled exam.
• Exams: If there is a clash in your exam timetable you must notify Student Services within 5 working days of the timetable release.
• Assessment extensions: To extend a deadline you must apply at least 1 working day before the assessment due date

When are extensions and resubmissions due? When are deferred and re-sit exams held?

Usually within 10 working days from the date you are advised in writing that your application for special consideration was successful.

If you seek more than 10 working days your application will be referred to your Program Director for a decision.
