Supplementary Exams

If you do not pass your modules with an average of 50%, you may qualify to write a supplementary exam, but you must have at least achieved a sub minimum of 30% in your final exam for undergrad qualifications and 40% for post-grad qualifications. You have to keep an eye on your final results to know if you passed or not. If you do not pass the first exam sitting, you need to ensure that you apply and pay the required fee for the supplementary exam. Alternatively you will be automatically billed for this exam. It is important to be aware of the supplementary exam dates. Always ensure that you have the most updated timetables and PAS. Your timetable indicates a weekly schedule for the semester and the PAS contains the dates and times of all your assessments. You will be notified via your VCConnect e-mail address of any updates and changes to both these documents, therefore it is important to check your VCConnect emails every day. Supplementary Exam dates are communicated in advance on the PAS and it is your responsibility to ensure that you check your results and are prepared for the supplementary should you qualify.
