Appeal an enrolment decision

You can appeal a decision if:

• Your enrolment has been cancelled as a result of non-payment of your fees,
• Your enrolment has been cancelled as a result of you not adding in subjects to your enrolment or applying for a leave of absence,
• Your application for an additional leave of absence is denied,
• The Course Director has denied adding more than 32 subject points within your enrolment,
• Your application for concurrent enrolment is denied, or
• Your reimbursement and/or remission of tuition fees application has been denied.

If you are an international student, you can also appeal a decision if:

• Your leave of absence appeal application has been denied, or
• Your reduction of study load request has been denied.

You should submit your application within ten business days from when you received notification your request has been declined or rejected. Or, within twenty business days if you are an international student and the decision is to exclude you from the University.

Read the University Students Appeals Policy and Procedure for the criteria and process on how to appeal.

• We will generally make a decision based on what you write and submit in your appeal application, so you may want to look at How to Build a Strong Appeal Application.
• You may also want a Student Advocate to assist you or look over your appeal application before applying for an appeal. You can contact a Student Advocate.
