Students who meet the criteria for an Arotakenga Akoranga |听Academic Progress Review may receive one of the following:

• Warning: This may be given if a continuing student has not made sufficient academic progress. A Warning can also be issued with restrictions (restricted points), an enrolment condition or a request for the student to meet with the Associate Dean of their Faculty.
• Impending Exclusion from an award or Faculty: This may be given to a student who has not made sufficient academic progress after receiving a Warning.听This is a notice to inform听the student听that听they听will need to meet with their听relevant Dean to discuss听their听circumstances and develop a study plan. Failure to meet with the Dean will result in an exclusion听and the student will be withdrawn from their studies.
• Exclusion from an award or Faculty: This may be given if a student has previously been given a warning and has not made sufficient academic progress in a subsequent round. These exclusions prevent the student from continuing to study in in the same qualification, any subjects in that qualification or in that Faculty.
• Exclusion from the University: This may be given if a student has previously been given an exclusion from an award or Faculty and has not made sufficient academic progress in a subsequent semester. This exclusion prevents the student from continuing to study at the 九州影院.

Students are notified of outcomes via email the week following the release of grades. Students who receive restrictions or exclusions and are able to request a review of a decision. It is important to check UCLive email to ensure the deadline to request a review is not missed.

Requesting an outcome review

Students will need to request a review of the decision within a specified timeframe.听Only students who receive restrictions or exclusions will be听eligible for reviews.听The University will communicate a student鈥檚 exclusion via email and students should check their email regularly to ensure the听due听date听to request a review听does not pass. For assistance through this process, they should contact the UCSA Student Advocacy. For pastoral care or support for the following semester, students can contact Student Care,听M膩ori Development Team or Pasifika Development Team.

Students should outline the exceptional circumstances that impaired their ability to successfully complete their course of study, or significantly impaired their ability to perform in an assessment.

Evidence should be provided (such as medical certificates, death notices, other relevant documents) to support the student鈥檚 application.

The student should then explain why the impairment is no longer likely to impact on their ability to successfully complete their studies, and how they will ensure their success going forward.

If the impairment is significant and can be verified,听along with a strong study plan in place,听听the听restrictions or听exclusion 听may be removed and the student permitted to continue their study.

An exclusion means you are excluded from the named qualification or from the University for the future. During the exclusion period, you are听not permitted to continue to study in the听qualification, or听at听the University听in the case of a University exclusion.听The听exclusion is valid for a period of no less than 12 months.听The听University would consider allowing the student readmission after:

• At least听one year of successful study elsewhere听(in another Faculty or at another tertiary institution) or听at least one year of successful work experience听in relevant employment.
• Evidence of the likelihood of success in future university studies. Applicants should provide information about how any circumstances that had previously impacted their studies have now been resolved. They should also provide a thorough study plan to demonstrate how they will be able to successfully complete their programme should they be permitted to return.

How to re-apply

Actions taken by the University during the Arotakenga Akoranga |听Academic Progress Review may impact on a student鈥檚 regular StudyLink payments. This refers to students who have had restrictions placed on the number of points they can take, and students excluded from a college or the University.

In some cases, students with restrictions placed on their study will experience an interruption in their StudyLink payments as their circumstances have changed. These students should check their eligibility for limited full-time study on the Studylink website and follow the process to apply as soon as possible.

There are other factors regarding StudyLink eligibility that are relevant to students affected by the Arotakenga Akoranga |听Academic Progress Review.

The StudyLink website advises that a student needs to pass more than half of the courses that they are enrolled in to continue to be eligible for a Student Allowance. The same test is also applied to assess Student Loan eligibility once a student has completed 1.6 EFTS (usually about two years of study).

听

International students

An exclusion can have serious consequences for international students.

International students studying in New 九州影院must have a student visa/permit which specifies the institution they are studying at and the qualification they are studying. This means that if they change their plan of study they are legally obliged to apply for a new student visa/permit.

International students who have been excluded need to decide whether to study in another qualification at UC (this is not an option if they have been excluded from the University), to study at another tertiary institution, to apply for an alternative temporary permit, or to return to their home country.
