Any
student whose progress in the year of study just completed is unsatisfactory,
as defined below, shall be referred to one of the faculty's academic progress
committees for a determination. This may include any student who discontinued
studies after first semester.
If a student's progress is to be considered by an academic progress committee,
he or she will be notified by mail. The student will be invited initially to
submit written evidence to explain the case. A decision may be made by the
committee on the basis of this evidence to permit the student to continue his
or her studies. If further information is required, the student will be given
the opportunity to appear before the committee.
The academic progress committees will meet in December/January and the
committees may determine on the evidence before them either that the student
may re-enrol for further studies, subject to such limitations as it may impose,
or that the student shall be excluded from his or her course. A student who has
been given notice of exclusion from the course by the committee has the right
to appeal to the Academic Board against this determination. Students who have
been advised that they are required to appear before one of the faculty
academic progress committees may enrol in summer semester subjects.
A student excluded from the course in any year may apply for re-admission in
any subsequent year (undergraduate students apply through VTAC, or in the case
of distance education, reapply directly to School of Applied Sciences,
Gippsland campus), but an application is likely to be approved only if the
student can satisfy the faculty at that time that the factors which were
considered to have contributed to unsatisfactory academic performance in the
past would no longer affect the student's studies.
For students in courses other than BSc/BE, BSc/LLB, BSc/Bed, Bbus/BSc,
Bcom/BSc, Bcomp/BSc, BSc (Biomedical) and BSc (SciSchProg) the criteria on
liability for exclusion are as follows.
Students shall not be liable for exclusion until the expiry of the maximum time
allowed for completion of the degree, currently eight years.
Only students who fail a subject or subjects will be liable for exclusion. NP
grades will be allowed (ie counted as a pass) to the limits defined above under
'Examination grades'.
For courses managed by other faculties, see relevant faculty handbook.
1 No
student enrolled in both semesters will be considered for exclusion solely on
the basis of results achieved in first semester.
2 If students are in their first year of tertiary study they will
be liable for exclusion if they do not pass at least one quarter of the
subjects taken in the year. Other students who do not pass at least half of the
subjects taken in the year will be liable for exclusion.
Students who do not pass at least half of the points value of the subjects taken in the year will be liable for exclusion
Students who do not pass at least half of the subjects taken in the year will be liable for exclusion, unless (i) only one subject is taken, failed and it is the only failure to date; (ii) only one subject is taken and it is the last subject required for completion of the degree (except that if this is the second time such a last subject is failed then students will be liable for exclusion).
Students who do not obtain a mark of 50P or more in at least thirty points (or part-time equivalent) which includes all compulsory subjects will be liable for exclusion. In this context, the required biomedical sequences at second and third level are deemed to be compulsory subjects.
1
Science Scholars should maintain a 70% average in their subjects across the
academic year, calculated on the best 48 points for those with an overload.
2 Any mark lower than a P in any subject will result in a loss of
Scholar status.
