What happens if you fail, and what are the other options?

What happens if you want to repeat?
The Enrolments Team manages repeat cases. They will review, identify eligible students, and send out the relevant communications to your email.
If you would like to enquire about repeating the program, please email [email protected]
What happens if you pass?
If you successfully pass your Foundation Studies program, the Assessments Team will send your results to UNSW Sydney.

What to do from here:

- Once you receive an email from UNSW lifecycle team, you may only then be able to complete your class registration. Note: if you can not complete your enrolment once you have received the email, please email [email protected] as soon as possible and include screenshots showing us that you can not enrol.
- You may not see your new UNSW program code in myUNSW.
- You may not be able to select courses for your first term at UNSW.
- You may have received an email saying you have completed your program (this is referring to your Diploma and not your Bachelors).

If you are a Business student who did not meet the required WAM
If you have not met the WAM requirement to progress into second year of the Bachelor Program at UNSW Sydney, please find below additional information about your future options as a result of your recent results in the Diploma of Business:
What happens if my Academic Standing is less than ‘Good’?
If you receive an Academic Standing of Risk Level 1, 2, 3 or 4, you may receive a letter from UNSW Sydney, and your letter will ask you to make an appointment with a Student Progress/Academic Support Adviser to discuss your future enrolment.
Please note that UNSW College will organise this appointment for you and email you the details next week. In the meantime, do not wait to enrol – you must enrol yourself into your courses and register for your classes by the end of Week 1, regardless of your Academic Standing.
If you have any questions regarding your Academic Standing or Progression, please email the Academic Progression Team.

FAQs
FAQs
Q: I think my exam marks are not right, what should I do?
A: The marking of student exams is a very rigorous process. Each exam paper is marked by a group of teachers to ensure that your work and your resulting marks are checked more than once. However, if you still believe your exam marks have not been calculated properly, you may request a review of that calculation. Please note, in doing so your exam paper will not be re-marked. The calculations of your marks will be re-checked.
The application for a calculation check can be made within 10 calendar days of the results publication date. To make an application, you should use the ‘Calculation Check of Final Exam Marks Form’ located on the Current Students Website, under the Forms page.
Q: How do I know whether I meet the English requirement for my UNSW course?
A: Check your grades against your original offer letter, or you can refer to the English Language Requirements page.
Q: What if I do not meet the entry requirement?
A: You can either complete a recognised English Test (IELTS, Pearsons test) or change your UNSW program. You can also consider retaking your English program at UNSW College.
Q: I cannot log into the Student Portal / I cannot see the result on my Student Portal, what should I do?
A: Please contact our friendly IT Team to help by sending an email to [email protected].
Q: How do I get my official academic documents/transcripts?
A: Your academic documents, transcripts and credentials can be found on My eQuals. An email notification will be sent to you once your document has been generated which will include a link to your My eQuals account. If you are using My eQuals for the first time, you will need to register and then authenticate and activate your account by clicking on the link in the confirmation email you will receive after registration.
