Period of exclusion
Students who are excluded from the course will not be
permitted to reenrol for a minimum period of two academic
years (four semesters excluding summer semesters), unless the
student was excluded from the Bachelor of Business after
failing a mandatory subject for the third time.
Bachelor of Business students excluded after failing a
subject for the third time will be permitted to re-enrol once
a subject equivalent to the subject failed for the third time
has been successfully completed at another higher
education institution and the student has provided proof of
passing the equivalent of that subject.
Re-enrolment after a period
of exclusion
Students wishing to re-enrol after a period of exclusion must
contact the relevant Course Administrator three months
before the semester in which they wish to enrol to receive
advice about appropriate procedures. Students seeking reenrolment
after a period of exclusion will normally be
expected to make a written case to the Student Progress
Review Committee outlining their activities since they
were excluded before they would be permitted to re-enrol.
Re-enrolment will be subject to the normal application and
selection policies and procedures of the course.
