Excluded

Definition

You are excluded from your course or from your faculty for at least one year. You can apply after that time for readmission, but you will need to show that you have taken steps to ensure that you can succeed academically, e.g. taken Open Learning study or studied in another faculty or at another institution.

Reality Check

Being excluded is not the end of the world. It may well be the start of something very positive for you. Think about why you came to Monash and where you want to be in the future.

Reflect

• How and why did you get to this point?
• Is University where you want to be right now?
• Is this the right course for you?
• Do you have personal or other problems that are getting in the way of study?
• Are you motivated to do this course?
• Were you motivated when you started? If yes, what happened?
• What do you really want to be doing?

Contact

• If you have personal problems getting in the way or if you would like to explore motivation and other options, contact Counselling.
• Contact the Student Advisors at your campus Hub to discuss your visa implications.
• To discuss other study or career options, contact Employment and Career Development

Prepare

Make specific plans to take this opportunity to explore your options. Don’t spend a year wasting your time.

• Is it time to enter the workforce?
• Do you want to study elsewhere?
• Do you want to study part-time? (This is not an option for international students) or off-campus?
• For international students, consider undertaking study outside Australia.
  If you wish to apply for readmission to your course or another course you will need to demonstrate that your circumstances have changed substantially and that you have been successful in some other form of study. i.e. you need to show that you have improved your academic skills.
