Prev 10. Complaint resolution
Next 12. Undergraduate entry
In accordance with the provisions of Statute 11.5, each semester the Faculty of Architecture, Building and Planning reviews the academic progress of all undergraduate students, and postgraduate coursework students. Students whose progress is considered to be unsatisfactory are invited to appear before the Faculty's Unsatisfactory Progress Committee and to provide a written submission to the Committee concerning the circumstances which they believe contributed to their unsatisfactory progress, and any evidence of changed circumstances which they believe may result in an improved performance in the future.
Suspension from the course
Students may be recommended for suspension if, following their attempt at the performance in a component or components of assessment they:
fail in at least 50 points of subjects
fail in any subject for the second time
Repeating subjects
Urban planning and landscape architecture students may be permitted to undertake a limited number of later-year subjects whilst repeating a year's subjects. Students will normally be required to have credit for at least 50 points in a level before attempting any higher level subjects. This permission to undertake later-year subjects will not be given to architecture students and property and construction students, who normally must have credit for at least 100 points in one level before attempting any higher level subjects.
Where the Faculty has determined that prerequisite studies be undertaken for particular subjects, enrolment for those subjects will not normally be approved until the prerequisites have been satisfied.
General
In considering a student's progress the Faculty would normally take into account personal, financial and study problems.
Students recommended for suspension have a right to be heard by the Academic Board, but if the board confirms the recommendation the student will be suspended. Students suspended from a course offered by the Faculty may apply for re-admission to that course in a subsequent year.
If the Faculty and the Academic Board are satisfied that a student's condition or circumstances are so changed that there is a reasonable probability the student will make satisfactory progress, the student's re-admission may be authorised, subject to the imposition of any necessary conditions. Academic rehabilitation is normally demonstrated by the satisfactory completion of studies of a similar nature at another institution.
