Level 3 Template

The University reviews the academic progress of all students to help you successfully complete your course. If the University considers your progress unsatisfactory, you may be at risk of exclusion.

Monash University wants to ensure that all of its students are on track to pass and complete their course on time. To do this, the University regularly monitors and checks the progress of all coursework students, and will intervene when it identifies students at risk of non-completion.

If you have failed units, you will be assigned a risk level and be asked via email to complete an online tool (either My Progress and Support or My Academic Progress Response). The purpose of this check-in is to help ensure you have access to the support you need to succeeded in your studies, and to assure the University that you are on track to pass.

If you have a high risk level and do not respond to this process, it can have a serious impact on your enrolment and can lead to you being removed from your course. We strongly recommend you contact an MGA advocate for advice if you receive one of these emails.

RISK LEVELS

If you have failed units or have not completed a compulsory course requirement, you will be assigned an academic progress risk level.

LEVEL 1

WHAT THIS MEANS:

You have failed one or more units, but haven’t otherwise met the unsatisfactory academic progress criteria. You will be offered advice to help you get back on track.

WHAT YOU NEED TO DO:

Complete My Progress and Support online tool (link included in the email you received) and then attend any academic progress meeting you are invited to.

HOW AN MGA ADVOCATE CAN HELP YOU:

Before you complete My Progress and Support, we can talk with you about what has been going on and help you identify and address any underlying barriers to success. We can assist you in completing My Progress and Support.

WHAT DO I NEED TO SAY?

Everyone’s experience and circumstances are different. In short, the key things to think about are:

 1. What happened that impacted your studies / meant you failed?
 2. What have you done to address this?
 3. What will you do in the future to help you succeed in your studies? What is your plan?

Speak with an MGA advocate for individualised advice on how to best present your circumstances to the University.
