Academic Status
All students commence their course with an Academic Status of Good Standing. However, less than satisfactory academic performance will result in a review of the status to either Conditional or Terminated.
Good Standing - The student is permitted to continue in the course and to re-enrol.
- Students that are on a status of Good Standing have a Semester Weighted Average (SWA) of 50 or higher
Conditional - The student is permitted to continue in the course and to re-enrol under such conditions as may be determined by the Head of School.
- Students on a status of Conditional have a SWA of 49 or less.
Terminated - The student is terminated from the course and is not permitted to continue in the course or to re-enrol in the course without approval from the Director, Student Services.
Students that are on a status of Terminated have had:
- a status of Conditional and a current SWA of less than 49; or
- a status of Good Standing and a current SWA of less than 40
Students may be terminated where they
- Fail any unit a second time; or
- Have failed to complete the course within the stipulated time or where ten years have elapsed since the initial enrolment in the course, whichever occurs first
Students wishing to appeal against their academic status must submit an appeal within 20 working days* of the publication of results.
* A Working day is defined as all days Monday to Friday including all State, country and religious observances. However with the exception of the 5 day Easter observance ie Good Friday to Easter Tuesday inclusive and the 14 day University Christmas/New Year break, ie from the Monday of the first week until the Sunday of the second week inclusive.
