Avoiding a failed subject..?

[Glockmeister]

Ah, yeah that makes a lot of sense.

If I failed most of my subjects, it would have barely any repercussions (except shit GPA) for me.

The only ones i actually need are BIO1011 and BIO1022 to do my chosen majors next year and even then, I saw some form that allows you to request a supplementary exam or something like that. That is if failing the subject would seriously impact upon your course progress.

So, yeah i can see where you're comming from especially in later years. (I think the monash policy covered all years though *shrug*)

Actually, Monash abolished supplementary exam and near fails I think last year, so if you fail (unless you get special consideration), that's it, you've failed.

They abolished the near pass (NP) policy.

Policy on supplementary exams depends on the faculty; compare BusEco and Science for example.

At Monash, which faculty seems to be more "lenient" on awarding supplementary exams?

Judging on their respective policies, probably BusEco, Science and IT. But I've never actually applied for a supplementary exam, so I don't know how easy it is to be granted one.

On the opposite end of the "leniency spectrum"...
Engineering won't even consider allowing a supplementary exam unless you're in your pentultimate (final) year.
Contrary to expectation, Arts faculty does not allow supplementary exams in any capacity.

Law seems to sit somewhere in the middle.

Yayyyy, been speaking to so many people there about it and just got an email earlier that was saying how I'll be able to the exam after I get back from Europe :3 So happy!

..though i would have forgotten everything by then and even less keen to study, but at least I won't be failing
