Interim Grades

Used for both Pass/Fail and Grade/Mark units.

Grade	Description	Application
GNS	Grade Not Submitted	A result in a unit is not available to the Board of Examiners because marking is not complete. A GNS is an interim grade and must be converted to a final grade within 1 month after the Board of Examiners. Any extension must be approved by the Director, Student Services (or delegate).
X	Outstanding Supplementary Assessment	Student, who otherwise would be awarded a grade of F or FAIL, is granted a Supplementary Assessment by a Board of Examiners. Once the supplementary assessment is completed, the student shall be awarded a grade of either PX (Pass After Supplementary Assessment) or FX (Fail After Supplementary Assessment). In both cases, for Grade/Mark units the original mark shall be retained. An X grade must be converted to a final result by no later than the end of the subsequent study period in which the student is enrolled. Any extension must be approved by the Director, Student Services (or delegate).
DA	Deferred Assessment	Where a final component of assessed work within a unit of study is approved to be done at a later date, but not later than the end of the next study period in which the student is enrolled. A DA grade must be converted to a final result by no later than the end of the subsequent study period in which the student is enrolled. Any extension must be approved by the Director, Student Services (or delegate).
OA	Ongoing Assessment	This interim grade may be used where assessment tasks and assessment for a unit cover more than one study period (the study period of enrolment and the subsequent study period). The OA grade may be used as an interim (holding) grade until the assessment tasks and assessment are completed. An OA grade must be converted to a final result by no later than the end of the subsequent study period in which the student is enrolled. Any extension must be approved by the Director, Student Services (or delegate).
