If you fail a unit, you have to redo the unit again, either next semester or next year. This will require you to do 5 subjects in one semester.
However, if you fail half your subjects, you have to see someone about it and they will consider whether or not you should be at uni at all, or they might change you to part time so you can cope with the work.
Btw, a fail will considerably effect your GPA.

if you fail half your units that you take, they put you on conditional enrolment ~ i.e. PT automatically, than you have to go to your coordinater and talk about the subjects to take.
My friend failed 4/8 subjects last year, this sem he is only doing 1 because he failed the other 3 in spring last year, it was really sad for him.
There are counsellors to talk to about whether to do uni or go work/tafe. My friend has this ideal that its uni or nothing so i couldnt convince him to at least try tafe before uni, make the thing easier. Plus he dont know what to do with his life....poor bugger
But once again, its not the end of the world if you get fails...

you pick up FT after you can show to the coordinater that you can complete units succesfully (i.e. pass) of the units you had to redo. is it clear? i think my sentence is clear i hope.
If your being lazy and not doing your work, you shouldn't be at uni 
But generally, you do your work to the basic standard you pass.
I guess its up to the course co-ordinator when you can go back to full time. I guess you do a semester of part time, and then they review your case.

it depends on th eelevtive, is it for a major, if yes then to complete the majot its required, but i think oyu dont neeed to redo it if its a free elective, but it will stay on your trasncript no matter what so thats what lead me to be confused aobut it counting into your gpa ( i dont konw).
Why do we have a thread on failure anyway? Its depressing me! Now I think that I'm going to fail my earth sciences exam on thursday.
And to be perfectly honest, its sometimes pretty hard to fail, but then again, I guess its different for different subjects. Maybe tourism is slightly too bludgy The only way you can really fail a tourism subject is not hand in your assignments or plagarise.

If I spent less time watching tv, sleeping and bosing, I actually might get some work done
But I've studied almost everyday since the last day of uni, I think I'm using so much energy studying for earth sciences that I won't have anything left for health impacts - which I must pass otherwise I fail the subject. Stupid!
klh, don't give up. Wouldn't it be nicer to see a nice big C or D or even a HD instead of a P next to the unit name

awww klh I hope you feel better and do well in your exams! I'm sure you will you know you're a smart one!
Anyways I agree that it's pretty hard to fail a subject overall...tutors usually try their best to pass you, but that of course has to mean you've at least tried. So long as you attempt all of your assignments and put the effort in you won't fail...to fail you really need to not hand something in or not try at all...even minimal effort should get you a pass at least. Even if your assignments aren't that great you'll usually get at least a pass if you reference correctly and do your best. Of course if you copy and paste slabs of stuff into a word document and hand it in you'll fail...but that's another story.

is it possible to fail a unit by not attending the exam??
a friend of mine came late to his exam, i think it was like 45 minutes or something and they wouldnt let him in, they told him to get a misadventure or something...
i feel sorri for him, he couldnt really talk, he was so shocked
is it easy to get a misadventure for missing an exam? and would he have to re-do it again, like the unit i mean.

yeah u can fail because if you dont do the exam its counted as a 0 unless you can prove you should get consideration to re-sit it but it isn't easy to get permission...giggles869 said:
just being late or whatever or having a cold isn't a good excuse..
keep in mind everyone though - some units have "fails" and "satisfactory copmletion" requirements ie, if you got 48% some units they'll let you pass still...

and remember that you can't be awarded a conceded pass for any core units...or so I was told
