Fail

0 to 49
W

Withdrawn

DNF

Discontinued Not to count as Failure
Recorded on external transcript. This result applies automatically where a student discontinues after the HECS Census Date, but before the end of the seventh week of semester (or before half of the unit of study has run, in the case of units of study which are not semester-length). The Faculty may determine that the result of DNF is warranted after this date if the student has made out a special case based on illness or misdaventure.

 
INC

Incomplete
This result is used when examiners have grounds (such as illness or misdaventure) for seeking further information or for considering additional work from the student before confirming the final result.
