Keep Studying Open Foundation

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.

You can gain up to 40 units of credit and receive guaranteed entry into a number of related degree programs.

This option could help you get started on your degree sooner. However, if you are not sure what degree you’d like to study or are not ready to commit to course fees yet, you are welcome to stay in Open Foundation.

The fees for these pathway programs are Commonwealth Supported ranging between $490 and $1,800 per course depending on the subject area. HECS-HELP is available to defer these course fees.

Please note to qualify for a Commonwealth Supported place you will need to study full-time (40 units) in Semester 2.
