Readmission after academic or general misconduct exclusion

Students who have been excluded for academic progress or general misconduct may be eligible to apply for readmission to their course.

Readmission after academic or general misconduct exclusion

Any pending matters with the University Appeals Committee (UAC) or any external bodies (e.g. Ombudsman) must be resolved before your readmission application can be processed. To appeal the readmission decision, please refer to Deakin's academic progress policy.

Readmitting students will be required to evidence strategies to ensure they can return to study successfully.

If you wish to apply for readmission after discontinuation for reasons other than exclusion (e.g. non-payment of fees, voluntary withdrawal from studies or allowing enrolment to lapse) please visit the apply for re-admission webpage.

Re-admission to Initial Teacher Education courses

Students applying to readmit to initial teacher education courses will need to successfully complete the Casper (computer-based assessment for sampling personal characteristics) test which is a new government requirement.

If you are unsure, please contact your campus Faculty Academic Progress Committee (FAPC) secretary to confirm whether you are required to complete the CASPer test.

Currently the CASPer test is available during September to January, on specific dates. The next testing schedule should be available during August. Registration and payment of a fee to CASPer is required.

If you intend to apply to readmit for Trimester 2 or Trimester 3, we recommend that you complete the CASPer at the end of the previous year, due to this requirement.

More information is available on the CASPer test webpage.

What to include

Your application for re-admission should:

  • include an outline of any work, study or other actions undertaken whilst excluded
  • articulate and demonstrate why you will be more successful in your studies if re-admitted back into your course
  • outline how you plan to manage any previous issues (work, study, personal etc.) that may have contributed to your exclusion
  • include a course map completed by a Deakin Student Adviser. If you are a Business and Law readmission applicant, you are restricted to two credit points in your first returning trimester.
