Placed on a Conditional Enrolment

Definition

A condition is placed on your enrolment requiring you to perform to an appropriate level in a specific timeframe and complete any other nominated task.

In fact, every student is on a condition – that they pass at least 50% of the units in which they are enrolled and that they do not fail a compulsory unit twice. A specific condition is in addition to this.

Types of conditions -

• To pass specific units within a nominated semester
• To pass a specific number of units
• To complete the degree within a year
• To enrol full-time or part-time
• To enrol in specific units in specific semesters
• To make regular contact with your course advisor

Reality Check

You cannot be automatically excluded because you fail to meet a condition that has been placed on your enrolment.

You will not be sent a Notice of Referral letter to appear at an APC Hearing at the end of first semester. These are only sent out at the end of the year.

But you will be sent a Notice of Referral letter and come before the APC at the end of the year if you fail to meet the condition imposed on your enrolment.

Reflect

Realise the importance of a study condition and how this is a condition that will be reviewed even more closely at the end of the next academic year.

Contact

Course adviser to discuss the implications of your failure to meet your condition. In some faculties a specific person is nominated for this role.

 Prepare

Take the necessary steps to ensure you meet your conditions. Don't leave it to chance. Examine the obstacles from last year and try to remove them or lessen their effect.

Implications of failing to meet conditions

You will be sent a Notice of Referral letter at the end of the year asking you to “show cause” as to why you should be permitted to continue with your studies.

The APC takes a more strict view towards students who they have already reviewed.
