Academic Progression

What is Progression?

Western Sydney University regularly check students’ progress with their studies to help them stay on track.

Once you register, you must successfully complete the subjects required for your program to progress through to graduation. Progression checks identify poor academic performance while also giving you an opportunity to address your performance and seek advice and counselling on your options. It also prevents you from having to pay significant fees by continued poor academic performance.

Your grades will be checked after the results release date to determine whether your progress in your studies is satisfactory.

The University will send you an email when your progression is checked. The email will provide a breakdown of your calculated Academic Standing and Progression Outcome.
