Release of Final Results and Priority Marking
Release of Final Results
Final marks and grades are generally released within four weeks of
the end of each study period. Official results release dates are
published in the Academic Calendar, available on the College website.
Before results can be released, all final marks and grades must be
reviewed and approved by the Board of Examiners in accordance with
the Award of Grades Policy.
Following the Board of Examiners meeting, several academic, technical,
and administrative processes must be completed before results can be
published. Once these processes have been finalised, Student Services
will notify students by email that their results are available.
Students who successfully complete the final units of their course
must also have their course completion approved by the Academic Board
before a Completion Letter can be generated and issued.
These quality assurance and governance processes are essential to
ensure the accuracy, integrity, and consistency of student results
before they are officially released, and course completion is confirmed.
Priority Marking
Some students may need their final results before the published release
date to support a visa application or admission to further study. In
exceptional circumstances, the College can support priority marking
of assessments. Approval is not guaranteed and is only available where
a student can demonstrate significant disadvantage if they are required
to wait until the official results release date. An administration fee
of $50 applies to successful applications.
Eligibility
You may apply for Priority Marking if you can demonstrate that waiting
until the official results release date would cause significant
disadvantage due to:
-
a visa application or impending visa expiry; or
-
admission to another course that requires evidence of successful
course completion.
All applications must be supported by appropriate documentation.
How to Apply
Applications must:
-
be submitted via the official online Priority Marking application form;
-
include all required supporting documentation;
-
be lodged no later than the end of Week 4; and
Incomplete or late applications will not be accepted.
Important Information
Regardless of a student’s visa expiry date, results can only be released
before the published results release date when all of the following
conditions have been met:
-
a Priority Marking application has been approved;
-
the Board of Examiners has approved the student’s final results
and grades;
-
all final academic and administrative processes have been completed;
-
all outstanding fees have been paid in full; and
-
the student has a valid Unique Student Identifier (USI) recorded
in their Student Portal.
Completion Letters
Please note that Completion Letters can only be issued after the
Academic Board has formally approved course completion.
Requests That Cannot Be Considered
Informal requests for Priority Approval of Results will not be accepted
under any circumstances. This includes:
-
requests submitted after the Week 4 application deadline; and
-
requests made directly to lecturers, Course Coordinators, or other
members of the academic team.
All requests must be submitted through the official online application
process.
