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.
Find out more about whether to make an appeal or complaint. If you need advice about whether to make an appeal or complaint contact our caseworkers for help.
Can’t access your results?
Your results can display as Results Incomplete (RI), or your record may have sanctions applied. This means you aren’t allowed to access your results at all. This can happen for many different reasons. These can include:
- outstanding debts to the University, including University-owned accommodation, the library, University-provided loans, or student fees
- an ongoing misconduct matter being managed by the Student Affairs Unit
- an ongoing academic integrity matter being reviewed by your faculty’s Educational Integrity Coordinator.
Got overdue books? If you return overdue books to any Usyd Library before 19 July 2024, your fines will be waived. Find out more.
Want to discontinue a unit that you failed?
If you have experienced special circumstances that were beyond your control, such as serious illness or misadventure, and you were affected for more than 20 business days (around one calendar month), 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.
If none of these reasons sound right, or you have special circumstances requiring you to access your results right away, contact our casework service for advice.

What to do if you’ve received a Notice of Alleged Misconduct
If you have received a Notice of Alleged Misconduct (NOAM) throughout the year, your grades may be displayed as RI (Results incomplete), or your record may have sanctions applied. You may not be able to view your results at all. This can be quite difficult for students, particularly because misconduct cases can take a long time to be processed by the Student Affairs Unit.
If you have special circumstances and need to view your results urgently, contact our caseworkers for advice.
