As the Bachelor of Philosophy (Hons) is a highly competitive course, you need to maintain a combined WAM of 75 and pass all units to remain in good standing. If you are enrolled in one of the combined degrees, Bachelor of Engineering (Honours)/Bachelor of Philosophy (Honours) or Bachelor of Philosophy (Honours)/Bachelor of Modern Languages, you also need to maintain a combined WAM of 75 and pass all units to remain in good standing.

If you encounter difficulties you are encouraged to be pro-active.

For example:

• It's only week 3 and you are having trouble with an arts unit. You are worried the unit may drop your WAM below 75 so you take a course in Essay Writing with STUDYSmarter to improve your marks.
• You miss a language test due to illness. You promptly submit an Exceptional Variation of Assessment (EVA) (previously known as Special Consideration) online form to your Student Advising Office so you are not penalised for missing the test.
