This 'trick' allows you to check whether you've passed or failed the subjects a couple of days prior to the release of results (I'm not too certain on the exact number of days as I just found this out earlier today).
It doesn't actually give you your mark but it gives you an indication of whether you passed or failed.
1. Login to
Portal2. Click the
Admin tab
3. Under 'Managing My Enrolment' click on
Add / Drop / Change My SubjectsNow you should be able to see a list of your subjects with credit points allocated to each subject (usually 12.5).
Look at the subjects of the semester concerning you (eg. at the time of this post it's sem 1, 2009), if you see the credit points for those subjects then

because you've passed.
On the other hand, if you see
--- allocated to the credit points section then

cos I'm afraid you've failed.

I'm also not sure why they show credit points for second semester also.
I also can't guarantee that this is 100% accurate but once results are published then I can confirm.
