Maximum Study Time Progression Rule

This progression rule check is run to ensure that a student completes their program within the maximum time as stipulated in the table below.

The calculation of maximum study time:

1. Excludes periods of approved leave, including periods of suspension or Exclusion.
2. Includes periods where a student has been on leave without approval, and
3. Resets where a student has transferred from one program to another under the provisions of the Program Transfer Policy.

If you receive a max time exclusion it means your enrolment at the University will be cancelled for 12 months.

International students who are Excluded will have their Confirmation of Enrolment cancelled and they will be advised to seek advice from the Department of Home Affairs for the potential impact on their student visa.

Returning to study When My Exclusion Has Ended

After your Exclusion period has ended, you can apply to any program except for the one you were excluded from due to reaching the maximum time.

Students must apply for re-admission to the University through the normal channels not less than one year from the date the Exclusion was applied.  Re-admission is not automatic and subject to approval as per the Admissions Policy.
