Academic Status Appeal

Purpose

If you have been placed on Conditional or Terminated status it is possible there were factors outside your control that have affected

your work that your lecturers were unaware of. For this reason, an appeal process is available. If you wish to appeal against your

Conditional or Terminated status, you will need to set out in writing the reasons for your appeal and forward it to:

"Attention: Examinations"
Academic Registrar
Curtin University of Technology
CDT 250
98000 Miri

or by fax to 085-443899

or alternatively, lodge it at Examinations Office.

within 28 calendar days of the Publication of Results if you wish for your appeal to be considered for the following study period.

Appeals received after the appeal deadline will not receive consideration and will be returned to the student.

Submit only 1 appeal to the University. Multiple versions of the same appeal will slow down your appeal decision.

You will be notified in writing of the outcome of your appeal.

Tips

Before submitting an appeal, approach your Course Coordinator to try and gain a better understanding of why you have been placed on conditional or terminated status.

The Counselling service may be able to help you with any personal problems you may have that may have resulted on you being

placed on conditional or terminated status in the first place. Phone: 085-443926 (Christine Lau)

An effective letter of appeal will contain a statement of where you went wrong and changes you have made, or are willing to make, in your approach to study in the future in order to achieve your degree.

Each appeal must include:

• - your full name
• - your student number
• - your address
• - your course of study
• - your current status
• - the grounds for your appeal, which must be stated in detail and supported where necessary with appropriate documentation

What then?

You are advised to maintain your attendance at lectures and tutorials until you are notified of the outcome of your appeal in writing.

Note that you will not automatically be re-enrolled if your appeal is successful. You must check your enrolment immediately if your

appeal is successful and re-enrol if necessary.
