About academic progress What is academic progress? We want to make sure you succeed in your studies at Monash and fulfil all your academic requirements. However, we know that from time to time things come up that can affect your academic progress. For this reason, we check in twice a year to make sure you’re on track to complete your course in the required time. If we have concerns about your progress, we’ll let you know what support is available and, if needed, meet with you to discuss your progress and options. All communications will be sent to your Monash email address, so if you don’t have access to your Monash account, you need to let your managing faculty know. Whose progress is reviewed If you’re enrolled in a coursework award course at any location, your progress will be reviewed twice a year. Review periods The two review periods are: period 1 : from the day after semester two results are released until the end of the day on which semester one results are released period 2 : from the day after semester one results are released until the end of the day on which semester two results are released. The dean may also review your academic progress at any time. To view the results release dates, see semester summary dates . What we review We review your progress and unit results released within the academic progress periods, excluding pathway diplomas and Withdrawn (WDN and WI) and interim (DEF, NS and WH) grades . However, your faculty may reassess your academic progress when your interim results are finalised. If you’re on intermission, or aren’t currently enrolled, your academic progress risk level won’t change until the next academic progress period you’re enrolled in. Satisfactory academic progress Your academic progress is satisfactory if, within the academic progress period: you pass all your units, and none of the unsatisfactory academic progress criteria apply to your performance. If your academic progress is satisfactory, you won’t have an academic progress risk level. At risk of unsatisfactory progress You're at risk of unsatisfactory academic progress if, within the academic progress period: you failed one or more units, but you didn’t meet any of the unsatisfactory academic progress criteria . Unsatisfactory academic progress criteria If any of the following circumstances apply, your progress will be assessed as unsatisfactory: You have a fail grade for 50 per cent or more of the completed credit points (except if you fail only a single 6-, 12- or 18-credit point unit in your first review period at Monash). You fail the same unit two times or more. You’ve exceeded the maximum course duration without completing your course. You fail to successfully complete the required number of credit points within the required time (see table below). This means you can't complete your course within the maximum course duration. Credit points Time by which they must be successfully completed At least half of the total number required for the course When you’re halfway through the maximum course duration At least two-thirds of the total number required for the course When you’re two-thirds of the way through the maximum course duration At least three-quarters of the total number of required the course When you’re three-quarters of the way through the maximum course duration Your maximum course duration is recorded in the Handbook for the year you began your course. Academic progress risk levels If you meet one of the criteria above, or your progress is at risk of being unsatisfactory, you’ll be assigned one of three academic progress risk levels : academic progress risk level one: advice academic progress risk level two: monitoring academic progress risk level three: intervention. At each risk level, we’ll provide you with a different level of support to help you improve your academic performance. If you’ve been assigned an academic progress risk level, you’ll be notified by email at your Monash account. If you’ve previously been assigned an academic progress risk level, but achieve satisfactory progress in your next reviewed academic progress period, the academic progress risk level will be removed.
