FAQ
What does my Result Code mean?
You can view a breakdown of the meanings of different Result Codes here. If you have any questions about why you’ve received the grade that you did, make sure to reach out to your Unit Coordinator first.
My grade is RU, what does this mean? How do I find out my actual result?
An RU grade stands for Results Unavailable and can appear for a few different reasons. You can find information about RU grades here. If you have an RU grade, it’s best to get in touch with your Unit Coordinator directly to follow this up.
What is a GPA? What does it stand for?
GPA stands for Grade Point Average and refers to an average performance in study over a set period of time.
Where can I find my GPA?
You can find your GPA in a couple of places. The easiest place to locate this is by downloading the mUNE mobile app and checking the Results tab. This will give you a breakdown of your Trimester GPA and your overall Course GPA.
Alternatively, you can log into your myUNE account, navigate to myEnrol, under ‘Enrolment Details’ in the top left select ‘Course Details’. On the next page, select your Course Code that will be underlined beside the word ‘Progression’.

| D | Distinction [equivalent to Honours Class II, Division 1 (H2A) in intent, 6 on the GPA scale] Very good performance indicating reasonably complete and comprehensive understanding and/or application of the subject matter; achieves all basic and most higher-order unit objectives and graduate attributes linked to the assessment tasks; some minor flaws; clear and unambiguous evidence of possession of a high level of required skills; demonstrated high level of interpretive and/or analytical ability and intellectual initiative; high level of competence. |
Numerical conversion: scores and/or aggregate marks between 75% and 84% |
| C | Credit [equivalent to Honours Class II, Division 2 (H2B) in intent, 5 on the GPA scale] Good performance indicating reasonable and well-rounded understanding and/or application of the subject matter; achieves all basic but only a few higher-order intended unit objectives and graduate attributes linked to the tasks; a few more serious flaws or several minor ones; clear and unambiguous evidence of possession of a reasonable level of most required skills; demonstrated reasonable level of interpretive and/or analytical ability and intellectual initiative; reasonable level of competence. |

Numerical conversion: scores and/or aggregate marks between 50% to 64 |
| N | Fail [0 on the GPA scale] Unsatisfactory performance indicating inadequate and insufficient understanding and/or application of the subject matter; achieves few or none of the basic and higher-order intended unit objectives and graduate attributes linked to the assessment tasks; numerous substantive errors of fact, omission and/or application present; clear and unambiguous evidence of non-possession of most or all required skills; insufficiently demonstrated level of interpretive and/or analytical ability and intellectual initiative; fails to address the specific criteria; inadequate level of competence. |
Numerical conversion: scores and/or aggregate marks of less than 50% |
| NC | Compulsory Fail – Failed an assessment component that must be passed in order to pass the unit This grade is used when an assessment task, such as a final examination, that must be passed in order to pass the unit (as detailed in the Unit Requirements) has not been passed (resulting in a fail in the unit), but where the overall mark is 50% or higher. |
|
| NI | Fail – Did not satisfy unit requirements [0 on the GPA scale] One or more mandatory requirements for the completion of the unit (as detailed in the Unit Requirements) were not fulfilled. |
|
| S or US | Satisfactory or Unsatisfactory [S = 4, US = 0, on the GPA scale] In some units, the grading system is organised on a satisfactory/unsatisfactory (pass/fail) basis. When this grading system is used the appropriate interpretive descriptors to apply will be those for the grade of at least Pass or Fail. |
|
| W | Withdrawn The student withdrew from the unit without academic penalty. |
nice post with full details thanks.
