 Application to re-enrol following refusal of enrolment


More Information
Outcome of application for re-enrolment following refusal of enrolment

You can apply to your executive dean to re-enrol using the "Applying for permission to re-enrol following previous refusal of enrolment" form (pdf).

Alternatively, you can contact the Exclusions Officer on telephone (07) 3365 2600, or via email and request that  the form be mailed to you.  You should submit the form as soon as possible, or, at the latest, by the date notified by the Academic Registrar in the notice, sent by email, of refusal of enrolment.

You should present your case as clearly and as comprehensively as possible.  For example, your unsatisfactory progress may have been related to difficulties that have since been resolved, and therefore might not affect your future progress if you are allowed to re-enrol. 

For example, you may have:

  • reduced your hours of part time employment
  • developed a study plan in conjunction with a learning advisor to address time management problems
  • received treatment for a medical condition that had impacted upon your studies
  • undertaken studies at another institution to improve your knowledge in a particular area of weakness

You should detail these matters in your application, as well as include medical certificates or other relevant documents supporting your case. Refer to ‘What to include in your application’ below for more information.

If you do not submit an application for permission to re-enrol by this due date, your enrolment will be cancelled.

International students are reminded that maintaining satisfactory academic progress is a condition of the student visa. The University is required to notify the Department of Immigration and Citizenship (DIAC) of students who are not making satisfactory progress and this could result in the cancellation of the student’s visa.
