Course progression

Unit availability is not guaranteed for students admitted to a course in Semester 2. Students should check with the relevant Faculty on unit availability and selecting a study plan for course completion.

Re-admission after exclusion/suspension

Applications for Re-admission after exclusion/suspension must be lodged by the advertised on-time closing date (see key dates search) in order for applications to be considered by the relevant Faculty Academic Board. No further applications will be considered beyond the on-time closing date.

QUT refuses admission to applicants who have been suspended from a higher education institution for non-academic reasons (discipline or misconduct) while the suspension or equivalent action remains in force.

Applicants who have been excluded from a course as a result of unsatisfactory academic performance, either from QUT or elsewhere, will not be considered for admission to the same or a similar course or study program unless:

at least twelve months have elapsed since exclusion
and
the application is accompanied by the following documentation to be reviewed as part of the re-admission decision:
- an appropriate written statement*
  and
- a proposed enrolment program.

*The written statement should outline your claim for re-admission and address such factors as changed circumstances, academic and/or vocational performance since exclusion, and maturity and motivation. This statement must be accompanied by documentation which supports your claim. Supporting documentation includes:

an academic transcript for tertiary study performance since exclusion
a vocational reference stating the nature of the position, length of service and comments on the level of your performance in that position
for changed circumstances you must show that the previous problems (ie financial, personal, vocational, medical etc) have been overcome and are unlikely to recur
a letter from your medical practitioner confirming your capacity to recommence studies after recovery from a medical condition.

Applications will be considered by the relevant Faculty Academic Board.

Please complete the cover sheet and attach to your hard copy documentation to be considered with your online application. For documents that do not need to be certified (eg your written statement) you can use the file upload function in section 5 of the online form.

Commonwealth assistance

If you are eligible for, and wish to seek, Commonwealth assistance in your new course and have been offered a:

Commonwealth supported place - complete a new Request for HECS-HELP form (eCAF)
or
Tuition fee paying place - complete a new Request for FEE-HELP form (eCAF).

Advanced standing

Advanced standing for prior QUT studies

If you are changing course and you are expecting to receive advanced standing for previously studied QUT units, before submitting the R/I form complete the Advanced Standing section (q.4) and provide relevant details of your previous QUT units and expected exemptions in the new course.

Before completing the Advanced Standing section you should search the QUT Advanced Standing Precedent List (ASPL), a compilation of past Advanced Standing decisions.

If you find an advanced standing decision on the ASPL that you are eligible for, copy the precedent ID in the Advanced Standing section of this form. This will ensure that your request for advanced standing is processed as quickly as possible, to help you make correct unit choices when you enrol.

Please note the ASPL is a guide only, and is subject to change.

Advanced Standing for non-QUT studies

If you are applying for Advanced Standing based on prior studies at another institution, or if you wish to apply for any further Advanced Standing for QUT studies after submitting the R/I form, please complete the Application for Advanced Standing (AS form) and submit before the closing date.

For closing dates see the key dates search (choose the category 'Advanced Standing applications', the teaching period and the year of your application). Late applications from the first day of the teaching period will incur a $50 late application fee.
