Grades of 'PCON - Pass (Concessional)' are not awarded or recognised in any award course offered by the University of Sydney Business School, are treated as failures for the purposes of progression and do not satisfy award course requirements. This regulation also applies to grades in units of study offered by other faculties that are counted towards University of Sydney Business School award courses or the Business School's component of combined award courses.
