Re-admission after academic exclusion

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

The minimum period of exclusion from a course is one academic year, pursuant to section 8.2 of Regulation 05.03 (1) - Assessment and Academic Progress in Higher Education Award Courses (PDF, 42.2KB). 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 allowed to enrol in a maximum of 2 units and will be required to engage with study support in their first trimester back.

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.

Re-admission to Initial Teacher Education courses (NEW)

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.
