HSC results
The HSC is the highest award in secondary education in NSW. It is awarded to students who have satisfactorily completed Years 11 and 12 at secondary school. To be eligible, students need to meet HSC course requirements and sit for the statewide HSC exams.
Getting your results
HSC results are available in Students Online and sent to students by email and SMS in December. See how you can download and print your credentials, and how to get a hard copy.

Your HSC performance isn't shown as just one rank or mark, but a collection of results. Read our guide on understanding HSC results.
