Worried about your results? We’ve got you covered

If you didn’t get the results you were hoping for, don’t stress – there are lots of supports available to help you achieve your study goals.

With Semester 1 results release upon us, you may be feeling a little unsure about how you went.

We hope you aced it. But if you didn’t do as well as you’d hoped this semester, don’t worry – you’re not alone, there is plenty of free help available to get back on track.

Here are some of our top tips and resources to help you achieve your study goals next semester.

Take on board feedback

Along with your grade, your educators will provide you with constructive feedback on each assessment you submit – make sure you take some time to read their comments and understand what areas you need to address to get a better result next time.

If you’re confused about any feedback you receive, ask your educator if you can make an appointment to talk about it. They're here to help, so don’t be afraid to reach out to them for advice.

You can also consult your educators if you have questions while you’re working on an assignment – just make sure you ask them well before the due date, don’t leave it until the last minute!

One-on-one study consultations

If you feel like you need to sit down and get some one-on-one help from a real person, RMIT's dedicated Academic Skills Advisors and Librarians are here to help with study consultations.

You can get assistance with assignments, finding information, referencing, academic writing, study techniques, and your English, maths and science skills.

Drop in to the Study Support Hub on campus, make an appointment or simply submit a question online.

Peer mentoring

Peer mentors are other students who have recent experience with course content and studying at RMIT. You can contact a mentor with questions about your course, or you can ask for general support with study skills, using the library or navigating RMIT services.

You can chat online or face-to-face, and you can message a peer mentor anytime, from anywhere in the world.

Studiosity

Studiosity is a free 24/7 online study support service. You can get feedback on your writing and referencing, tips on study skills like time management and revision, and even help with getting started on your assignment, with things like understanding a question or task.

Health and wellbeing support

Whether it’s work, family or your social life – we know that juggling life outside of your studies can be challenging.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed and need to talk to someone about your options, reach out to a Student Welfare Advisor. They’re trained to provide advice and assistance to RMIT students on a range of matters including finance, accommodation, crisis support as well as guidance with university processes. They can also provide referrals to support services outside the University.

If you’re an Australian-based student, you can also tap into supports available at RMIT’s Counselling and Psychological Services or the Medical Hub at our City campus. Check out our other health, safety and wellbeing support services available. Free financial and legal support is also available to currently enrolled students.

Have you received an ‘Academic Progress’ communication?

Academic Progress is the formal way that RMIT supports students who have been identified for not making satisfactory progress in their program.

If you’re identified as not making satisfactory progress, you’ll receive an email after results are released (or after a change to a grade) to let you know that you've been identified as first stage 'at risk' or final stage.

It’s really important you read the email carefully. It will explain what happens next and how RMIT can support you to get back on track with your studies.

“You’ll be invited to chat with an Academic Advisor. They’ll help you develop a tailored Academic Performance Improvement Plan, and will guide you through the study supports you can access to help you achieve passing results in your courses and progress in your program,” says Kathryn Wardill, Associate Director, Integrity and Assessment Support.

“We know it might feel overwhelming, but you’re not alone. RMIT offers a number of support services to help you succeed, whether through help with your studies, or getting some extra support to care for your health and wellbeing.”
