Progress

Full-Time/Part-Time Study and Academic Progress

Q. How do I know my expected completion date?

A. Your expected completion date is the end date indicated on your Confirmation of Enrolment (CoE).

Q. What if I am unable to complete my course by this date?

A. You will be permitted to extend your CoE (and your student visa) in certain circumstances. These include:

• compassionate or compelling circumstances beyond your control;
• where a formal intervention strategy has been implemented because you have been identified as being at risk of not meeting Academic Progression requirements;
• where you deferred your course or you have taken an approved Leave of Absence.

Q. What if I want to drop a subject for academic or personal reasons?

A. Under certain circumstances this will be possible. Prior to 1 July, UTS International will publish a formal policy outlining the circumstances in which you will be able to reduce your academic load.

Q. I will be completing my course soon, but will need to extend my visa to do so. I have never been placed on Academic Caution and have not taken Leave of Absence. Will I be able to complete my course?

A. If you will not be able to complete your course on time because of enrolment or course advice that you have previously received from the University, then this will be considered a compelling circumstance and your CoE will be extended to enable you to complete your course. This advice includes the advice - correct until 1 July - that you may enrol in 18 credit points per semester.

Further information about this requirement and how it will be managed by the University will be distributed to students in due course.
