What does academic status mean?

UPDATED 30 OCT 2025 | 3:18AM

It reflects your academic performance in your course.  At the end of each study period, an academic group called the Board of Examiners meet and assign you a status based on how you are doing in the course. (Your status is reviewed again if your grades are updated.) 

There are three academic status levels: 

Good Standing

This means you are achieving satisfactory results. You can continue your course and enrol. Students on a status of good standing have a semester weighted average (SWA) of 50 or higher and have passed more than 50% of enrolled units each study period.

Conditional

A conditional status means you are at risk of not achieving satisfactory course progress. You are permitted to enrol, but may be subject to conditions which are determined by the head of school or Student Progress Appeals Committee. The conditions are to help you improve your academic progress.

Terminated

A terminated status means you are not achieving satisfactory course progress and have been terminated from your course. 

You will have the following options:

  • Appeal your termination using the Academic status appeal process by the deadline provided in your official communication.
  • Apply for a new course.
  • Apply for readmission into a terminated course after 12 months.
You can attend a Terminated status information sessions for support.

For further information, refer to the Assessment and Student Progression Manual.
