Following the release of subject results, student records are checked against course progress requirements. Where a student has not met course progress requirements, they will be deemed as at risk and their course status changed. Students will be notified of the change in their course status as outlined below.
Where a student was previously on an Active course status and they do not meet course progress requirements, they will be deemed at risk and their course status changed to Referral.
When a students course status is changed to Referral it is important they consider the factors that may be impacting their studies and ensure they seek advice and support to help them succeed in the next study period. Students are strongly urged to discuss their individual circumstances with a Student Support Coordinator or Campus Manager as they are best placed to connect students with the correct type of support services.
What happens next?
The results obtained in the students next study period (excluding Summer session) will determine if they progress to Restricted (stage 2) or return to an Active course status.
Where a student was previously on a Referral course status and/or they have failed to meet course progress requirements in the past two study periods, they will be deemed at risk and their course status changed to Restricted.
A student with a Restricted course status will be required to meet with their Course Progress or Academic Advisor to get an Intervention Strategy implemented before they can be enrolled into the next session of study.
It is important at this stage for students to carefully consider the factors impacting on their studies and ensure they discuss their individual circumstances with their Advisor during their consultation. This will assist the Advisor to connect students with the best support services to succeed in their studies.
The results obtained in the students next study period (excluding summer session) will determine if they progress to Excluded (stage 3) or return to a Referral (stage 1) course status.
A student will be excluded where they have failed to meet course progress requirements in each of the last three (3) study periods and/or their previous course status was Restricted. It also means that unless the student appeals the exclusion, they will not be able to study at the University for a period of 12 months (1 year).
Students should carefully consider the circumstances surrounding their exclusion and if they wish to appeal, an appeal can be submitted to Student Operations (via student-ops@uow.edu.au) by the deadline indicated in the email notification. An appeal must include the following:
The Faculty Exclusion Appeals Committee will make one of the following decisions regarding an appeal:
