As you have a maximum of four consecutive semesters to complete Open Foundation, you can continue studying next semester.
How to calculate your progress
Remember, to successfully complete Open Foundation you need to pass a total of 40 units made up of 4 x 10 unit courses, 2 x 20 unit courses or a combination of any of these.
Check your grades in myHub and use the following to calculate how many units you need to complete Open Foundation:
40 UNITS – TOTAL UNITS PASSED* = UNITS TO COMPLETE
*Passed units include grades P, C, D, HD, UP or EX. For more information on grade codes click here. Please note you cannot attempt a course again that you have already passed.
Any Fail (FF), Withdraw (WW) or Incomplete (I) grades do not count towards completing your program, you will need to attempt the course again, or try a different course and pass it.
