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 any day, Monday to Friday excluding:
- University-observed Public Holidays (either Academic or General Staff observed) in Western Australia; and
- the 16 calendar day period commencing on the Saturday of the week during which Christmas falls and ending on the Sunday of the week during which New Year's day falls (in 2009/2010, this period is from Saturday 19 December 2009 to Sunday 3 January 2010).
