Have you been excluded at any time in your previous tertiary studies?
If you’re applying to UTS as a non-recent school leaver for an undergraduate course and have a record of exclusion in any previous tertiary study, it’s not the end of your academic journey.
At UTS, we know that your circumstances are constantly changing and believe that you can still do well in tertiary study even though you may have been excluded in the past.
What do I need to do to be considered if I have a record of exclusion?
Step 1:
When completing your UAC application (opens an external site), you must declare your record of exclusion by including all previous study you have attempted or completed in your UAC application.
Step 2:
Prepare your statement of exclusion responses to the questions below. You will be asked to upload them as a separate document (eg. Word, PDF):
- What circumstances led to your exclusion? (Max 500 words)
- Why do you believe that you are now prepared for success in university level study at UTS? This may include changes in your circumstances, further education, employment, or other factors (Max 500 words)
Step 3:
Complete and submit the online Statement of Exclusion form. Remember to attach your responses to the above questions.
A reminder that if you are currently excluded from UTS or another institution, you cannot be considered for an offer until you have served your exclusion.
What's next?
Once you’ve submitted your Statement of Exclusion, it’ll be reviewed and considered by the faculties of each UTS preference in your UAC application. If your preferred course is full, you'll be considered for your other course preferences.
Please note it may take up to 4 weeks for your statement to be processed.
You’ll then receive an email from UTS with the outcome of your Statement of Exclusion.
