Appeal or complaint?
It can be confusing to know whether you want to lodge an appeal or make a complaint.
An academic appeal allows you to challenge a specific academic decision, such as a grade, or the outcome of a special consideration application.
A complaint is a way to raise an issue with the faculty or the University over matters such as discrimination, harassment, or an issue with the quality of teaching or assessment.

Can I discontinue a unit that I failed?
If you have experienced special circumstances that were beyond your control, such as serious illness or misadventure, and special consideration is not appropriate for you, you can apply for late discontinuation under special circumstances. If your application is approved, you will receive a DC grade.
A DC grade does not count as a fail grade, it doesn’t affect your Weighted Average Mark, and you will receive a fee refund or remission for the unit.
Contact our professional caseworkers for help with your application.
