For specific teaching periods, you can apply to convert all your passed grades to SFR (Satisfied Faculty Requirements). If you choose to do this, these grades won't count towards your WAM and GPA.
To convert your grades, you'll need to submit the Update your results form once all your results for the teaching period are finalised. You'll have two weeks to do this, but before applying, take a look at the advice on our grading and updates page. Once your results are converted, you can't change your mind.
If you have two final assessments (exams) scheduled at the same time, it's okay – we'll move one of your assessments to a different time on the same day. You don't need to do anything.
We'll email you two weeks before the assessment period outlining the exact arrangements for that day.
If you've withdrawn from either of the clash units and intend to sit only one assessment, you must contact us to let us know and confirm your new arrangements.
If you suddenly become unwell during your final assessment (exam), try to finish your assessment if you can. This is because, in most circumstances, once you've seen the questions or attempted to answer them, you won't be eligible to apply for special consideration.
If you choose to end your assessment session and wish to apply for special consideration, you'll need to submit compelling evidence of the severity of your illness or exceptional circumstances.
Requesting medical help during online supervised assessment
If you suddenly become unwell during an online supervised final assessment, you may request medical support from your online supervisor – they will get a registered nurse to call you on your mobile phone.
Special consideration
For more information, see special consideration.
Yes, you'll need multi-factor authentication (MFA) to log into Monash's eAssessment platform.
For more information, see Multi-factor authentication (MFA).
If you've failed a unit that falls within an eligible teaching period (with a mark less than 40), the grade will be automatically removed from your academic record. This means the unit won't appear in WES or on the Update your results form. You'll use the form if you want to withdraw from any passed units or convert all your passed units to SFR (Satisfied Faculty Requirements). However, you'll still be able to see the failed units in your results email.
More information is available in our grading and results update.
We may be able to provide you with alternative assessment arrangements (e.g. rest/movement breaks, extra time etc) if you have any of the following:
You must first register with Disability Support Services. Once you've registered, you will need to make an appointment to meet with an adviser by submitting the Disability Support Services Registration as early as possible to allow time for any alternative arrangements to be implemented.
At the meeting, you'll discuss your support needs with the adviser - they'll assess your situation and suggest support recommendations to us.
It depends on the type of eExam you're sitting. If your eExam is supervised, you should log into the eExams platform and connect with your supervisor 30 minutes before the eExam is due to start. If your eExam isn't supervised, you can log in 10 minutes before it begins.
A unit might not appear in your final assessment timetable (exam timetable) because:
Your final assessment timetable may be incomplete in Allocate+ if you're registered with Disability Support Services and are eligible to receive additional help during the assessment period. In this case, we'll email to confirm your alternative assessment arrangements to your student email one to two weeks before the start of the assessment period.
If you think there's a mistake on the timetable, please let us know.
We'll email your student email address with the details of your alternative final assessment (exam) arrangements one to two weeks before the start of the final assessment period.
Alternative arrangements may include:
Rest break periods (for online supervised assessments)
If you're granted alternative arrangements with Disability Support Services that include rest and movement breaks, you'll need to remain in view of your webcam when you take them. The time for rest breaks is incorporated into your overall assessment time.
Register with Disability Support Services
To be entitled to alternative assessment arrangements, you need to register with Disability Support Services.
How you request feedback on your final assessment (exam) depends on which School you're with. Please see your School’s Education Management Office for assistance.
No, you can't have more than two final assessments (exams) in one day.
If your assessment timetable does show three final assessments on the same day, contact us and we'll fix this for you.
This year, you'll be able to view your final assessment (exam) responses remotely while COVID-19 restrictions are in place. We'll also be holding onto your assessment responses for longer than the usual six-month period – this means you'll still be able to view your responses if you weren't able to do this in the time set by your managing School.
Submit the Application to View Exam Script to view your final assessment responses.
Application Deadline
Each School has a different deadline. Please refer to your School's website for the deadline and more information is available on the Faculty's Review of Results Policy and Procedures.

Most students should have a result. The result may be WH (Withheld) if:
With the exception of those listed below, you are advised to contact your School’s Education Management Office or Unit Coordinator with questions about your result. You must use your student email in all your correspondences. This ensures the privacy and security of your student record.

Unit result is wrong
No, you're required to sit your assessments in the format set for your unit. If you have a medical disability or conditions that affect your ability to sit an eExam, contact Disability Support Services to discuss alternative assessment arrangements.
The GPA is an average of all grades you received in your course (e.g. high distinctions, distinctions, passes, fails and so on). Each one is given a numerical value and the values are then averaged. The Monash GPA is calculated on a four-point grading scale where 4.0 is the highest and 0.0 is the lowest achievement.
The WAM is a more precise measurement of your academic performance because it's an average of all of your actual marks (eg: 78, 85, 63, 48 etc.) combined with the year level weighting. The WAM is out of 100.
Grading and results update
To support you in achieving the best possible academic outcome during the disruption caused by COVID-19 and with the close involvement of elected student representatives, we've made some temporary changes to grading and results.

The Grade Point Average (GPA) is the average result of all grades achieved throughout your course.
For example, your grades might be a pass, credit, high distinction, distinction and so on. Under normal circumstances, all grades, including fail grades and grades from any repeated units, are given a numerical value. The values are then averaged, giving you your GPA.

A WH (withheld) grade means your unit result isn't finalised yet.
Your grade may be withheld because:
Make sure you've completed any outstanding assignments. If you don't know why you received a WH grade, contact your School’s Education Management Office or Unit Coordinator (see the Handbook). Otherwise, check WES regularly to see if your grade has been updated (the time this takes depends on why you received a WH grade).
An NH (Hurdle Fail) grade means you have failed the unit because you haven't satisfactorily completed all the hurdle requirements for that unit.
If you're not sure of your hurdle requirements, check the unit entry in the Handbook.
If you don't know why you received an NH grade, contact your Unit Coordinator or Chief Examiner. You may approach your School’s Education Management Office for assistance.
Grading and results update
For specific teaching periods, failed hurdle marks will be converted to NS soon after results are released. If you haven't already been given another opportunity to pass the hurdle requirement, you'll be offered a supplementary assessment. For details, see grading and results update.
Your WAM is the average mark you achieve across all completed units in your course (marked out of 100). It's based on your actual marks (eg: 78, 89, 63, 48 and so on) and the year level of each unit.
Under normal circumstances, your WAM would include failed and repeated units.
