Grades Withheld

If you have a 'Grade Withheld' status it is likely that you have outstanding fees and have had a hold placed on your student record.

Please follow the instructions on our Holds page for what you need to do to get your hold lifted.

Determination of marks and grades

Your Subject outline must set out how your marks and grades will be determined.

There may be instances when you believe that your final grade in a subject does not accurately reflect your performance against the subject criteria. If this happens and you are unable to resolve it with the Academic staff member concerned then you can apply for a formal Review of Grade by the advertised deadline for the relevant teaching session. Find out more on the Review of Grade page.
