Results and progression

Academic progression

Academic progression is an assessment of your academic performance. From 2022 we will check your academic progress at the end of each semester or trimester and determine your eligibility to continue studying your course.  Academic progression details can be viewed on studentConnect. If you’ve made satisfactory progress, you’ll be assigned the status of "Good Standing" and will be permitted to re-enrol. If you’ve failed to make satisfactory progress, you may be placed on probation, suspended or excluded.

 

If you've been struggling with your studies and are concerned about your course progression, it's important to speak with your Student Advising Office and discuss a study plan to ensure you're better prepared for next semester. If you're concerned about the impact your progression may have on your student visa, speak with International Student Support.
