Hey everyone,

Just looking for some advice.

My friend is doing a Master of Hospitality Management at ECU and got 38 in HOS6502 – Current Issues in Hospitality. During the final exam, he accidentally missed a question because it was on the back of the exam paper and didn't realize until the exam was over.

Has anyone been in a similar situation? Is there any chance of getting a review, supplementary assessment, or any other option after a narrow fail?

Any advice would be really appreciated. Thanks!

Hey guys, I really want to apply for this but I’m scared my CWA isn’t high enough.
Can people tell me what your course weighted averages were that got u into this?
No atar scores, pls only comment if u applied thru uni marks!

Hi everyone,

I’m really anxious at the moment and was hoping to get some honest advice from anyone who’s been through something similar or works at a university.

I’m a nursing student at an Australian university, and my academic progression is currently under consideration because I failed 3 units this semester. I also missed 2 deferred exam, which contributed to my results.

On top of that, I’ve been asked to attend an academic misconduct meeting. The email says they’re investigating whether I fabricated/falsified content in one of my assessments and they said it was a serious academic misconduct. They haven’t made a decision yet—they’ve just invited me to a meeting to hear my side and have asked me to bring drafts, notes, and anything that shows how I completed the assessment.

I also have 1 previous academic misconduct findings, which i got 0 for the assignment which is why I’m so worried.

I’m just trying to understand what the realistic outcomes are.

My questions are:

• Has anyone been in a similar situation?
• Is suspension or exclusion from the university a realistic possibility?
• Does the academic progression review get considered separately from the academic misconduct investigation?
• If you’ve been through an academic misconduct meeting, what was it like?

I’m extremely stressed and know no one here can predict what my university will decide. I’m just hoping to hear about other people’s experiences or any advice on how to prepare for the meeting.

Thank you.

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for some advice from people working in IT or cybersecurity in Perth.

I’m currently in my final year of a Bachelor of Cyber Security at ECU with two semesters left. I work as a pharmacy assistant while studying, have good grades, and I’ll be on the Temporary Graduate Visa (485) after I graduate.

My goal is to get into IT or cybersecurity, but I’m not sure what the best path is. Should I aim directly for cyber roles, or start in a Level 1 Help Desk or IT support role first? Would certifications like CompTIA A+ or Security+ make a big difference, or should I focus more on projects and gaining experience?

For those who completed a cybersecurity degree, especially international students, how did you land your first job? What would you recommend I do over the next 6 to 12 months to give myself the best chance of getting hired?

I’m a hard worker, learn quickly, and I’m happy to start from the bottom if that’s the best way in.

I’d really appreciate any advice or experiences. Thanks!

Hello,

After stumbling and half-assing halfway through an engineering degree, I found myself on Red Academic Status. After taking university seriously this semester I still managed to fail 2/3 subjects (Also did anyone else feel like they did incredibly well on the Advanced Materials and Manufacturing exam but fail it?). So consequently I have been excluded from my degree. I have asked for informal review of one exam I feel my result doesn’t match how I felt completing the exam (cope, let me be). Anyways, I can’t find any information relating to if I am suspended indefinitely or have to wait x amount of time. Would prefer not to have to completely restart a degree after getting 2.5yrs in my current one.

I’m a brand new student starting Grad Cert in Mental Health this semester - course is delivered entirely online.
There are scheduled online tutorials once a week with a zoom link for attendance. Would these be mandatory?! I assumed it would be much more flexible.

If not mandatory I assume they will be recorded?

Love any insight from those who have experience.

It’s 14 years since I’ve been to uni, and the online student experience is a whole new world.

The result release page just says results are out "from Monday, 13 July." For those who've been through a couple of semesters- what does "from Monday" actually mean in practice?

Trying to work out whether it's worth refreshing SIMO at midnight or whether that's pointless and it's more of a morning/business-hours thing.

A few specific things I'm wondering:

• Do results usually appear overnight/early hours, or more like sometime Monday morning onwards?
• Do all your units update at once, or do they trickle in one at a time through the day? (I've got a few units and not sure if I'll see them together or spread out)
• Does it vary by School?

Not after the official page, just genuinely keen to hear when they landed for you and roughly what time, so I can stop stress-refreshing at 3am. Cheers 🙏
