Higher education grades

2021 grading

2021 courses will be graded using the full range of grading, including fail grades. In 2020, in recognition of the rapid changes to study resulting from COVID-19, fail grades were converted to withdrawn grades (WDR). This process has now concluded. 

Result Not Finalised (RNF) grades

If you can’t complete the full learning requirements for your course in 2021 you will receive a grade of ‘Result Not Finalised (RNF)’.
