You may be eligible to apply for either a Pass Conceded or Supplementary Assessment if you have one credit point remaining to finalise your degree (and meet the eligibility).

• If you are one credit point short of completing your Deakin course, you may be eligible for a Pass Conceded grade or to complete a Supplementary Assessment (a supplementary exam or another assessment item such as an assignment) for your final unit.
• The Final Unit to Complete processes fall under the Assessment (Higher Education Courses) Procedure (clauses 60-66).
• There are different eligibility criteria for Pass Conceded and Supplementary Assessment applications. Carefully consult the criteria provided on the Deakin Final Unit to Complete webpage to check your eligibility.

When can I apply for a Pass Conceded or Supplementary Assessment?

• You can apply for either a Pass Conceded or Supplementary Assessment within 5 working days from the date of official notification of the results for a course.

How do I apply?

• You need to complete an online application form. You can find the form on the Deakin Final Unit to Complete webpage.

What are the possible outcomes?

• If you are granted a Pass Conceded grade for the unit the result on your transcript will be changed to ‘PC’ with no mark value provided.
• If you are granted a Supplementary Assessment, the maximum possible mark/grade you can receive for the unit is 50P (if you don’t achieve 50P then your mark for the unit will revert to the mark you received prior to your Supplementary Assessment application.)
• If you are eligible for both, the Faculty Committee will usually award you a PC grade.
