Students who have been excluded for academic progress may be eligible to apply for readmission to their course.
Any pending matters with the University Appeals Committee (UAC) or any external bodies (e.g. Ombudsman) must be resolved before your re-admission application can be processed. To appeal the re-admission decision, please refer to the Academic Progress policy.
Readmitting students will be required to evidence strategies to ensure they can return to study successfully.
Please note: If you wish to apply for re-admission 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 web page.

Students applying to readmit to initial teacher education courses will need to successfully complete the CASPer (non-academic) test which is a new Government requirement.
If you are unsure, please contact your campus FAPIC Secretary to confirm whether you would be 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.
We recommend that if students intend to apply to readmit for Trimester 2 or Trimester 3 that they complete the CASPer at the end of the previous year due to this requirement.
For more information visit the CASPer test webpage.
