Academic caution
Are you ON Academic Caution?
Every semester hundreds of students get told they are, so you're not alone.
The thing to do is to make sure you follow the University's rules and get the advice and help you need to improve your grades.
There is web-based information on what to do and who to consult, workshops to improve your learning skills, and peer tutoring in some subjects.
Academic Caution is a set of compulsory requirements placed on students who have:
- failed more than 50% of their enrolled credit points over the previous half year of study, or
- who have made a successful appeal against exclusion
For international students, UTS may also recommend Early Intervention.
If you're placed on Academic Caution following results release, you'll receive an email notification to your UTS account advising you of various activities and support options to help improve your academic performance.
Students may be required to attend workshops and to consult with an academic adviser in their faculty.
If you're placed on Academic Caution, it's important to take it seriously and undertake the support options outlined in your notification email. Participation in activities such as the workshops will be recorded.
If you do not maintain satisfactory academic progress after being placed on academic caution, you may be excluded.
