First half-year Examination Result Release
As previously advised to students, official examination results for first half-year will not be released till Tuesday 15 July. However, we discovered yesterday that a non-Macquarie web posting on Wednesday night advised students that Macquarie's student results can be accessed early from a non-eStudent site. Students have subsequently been approaching staff on the basis that the results that they have accessed are the official results.
Investigations have revealed a security problem with a non-eStudent back-up site that was being tested. ITS has resolved the security problem and advised that fewer than 200 students had accessed this test site before it was removed. However, it needs to be emphasised that students will have accessed a test site which contains a mix of current and non-current results. More importantly, Academic Senate has not yet met to review the results and no results will be final until after the Examinations Meeting of Academic Senate.
It is recommended that any student stating that they have received their semester 1 results already should be advised that official results for semester 1 will not be released till Tuesday 15 July, and that Academic Senate has not yet met to consider semester 1 results.
This message was sent by Suzanne Kelly, Director, Student Business and Systems Solutions (Office of the Deputy Vice-Chancellor and Chief Operating Officer) and approved by Paul Bowler, Deputy Vice-Chancellor and Chief Operating Officer.
