This is the second stage of the Course Progress Requirements.
This means that the University has identified your enrolment as being at risk because you have not passed more than 50% of your credit points in the last two (2) study periods (excluding Summer session).
Your enrolment has now been restricted and your credit point’s limits have been set to zero. You have also been withdrawn from subjects if you were already enrolled in a future session.
What action do I need to take?
Firstly, it is important for you to identify what has affected your studies.
1. Academic difficulties
If you are experiencing academic difficulties, you will need to contact your Course Progress Advisor for an appointment.
They will be able to assist you in the following ways:
- (a) Identify the issues contributing to your academic results
- (b) Provide very useful advice and;
- (c) Point you to an appropriate support service.
You should bring along to your appointment, a written statement explaining the following:
- (a) What you believe is the cause of your poor academic progress
- (b) Which support services you have accessed/intend to access to assist you, and;
- (c) What your study plan is to succeed in your studies.
This is a very important part of an intervention strategy.
2. Non-academic difficulties
If you are experiencing non-academic difficulties then you are able to seek support from the University’s many support services. The University would like to support you to be successful in your studies.
Secondly you need to:
- Make an appointment to see your Course Progress Advisor via your Faculty Central.
- Discuss and complete your Intervention Strategy and Restricted Status Notification form with your Course Progress Advisor at your meeting.
- Your credit point limit will be changed to the agreed limit.
- You will be notified via SOLS of the change and you will then be able to enrol into subjects within that limit.

What happens next?
Now you have been placed on Restricted (stage 2), the results you obtain in your next study period (excluding summer session) will determine if you progress to Excluded (stage 3) or return to Referral (stage 1).
- If you do not pass more than 50% of your credit points in the following or subsequent study period, (excluding Summer session) you will be placed on Excluded (stage 3).
- If you pass more than 50% of your credit points in the following or subsequent study period, (excluding Summer session) your course status will return to Referral.
Being Excluded is serious. Should you be Excluded, this means you will not be permitted to enrol at the University of Wollongong for a period of one (1) year as per the UOW Coursework Rules – Course Progress Requirements.
- If you pass more than 50% of your credit points in the following or subsequent study period, (excluding Summer session) your course status will return to Referral.
Late withdrawal without Academic Penalty
If you have exceptional circumstances, you can apply for a Late Withdrawal without Academic Penalty. The application form is available from the Student Forms and applications website.
It is best to discuss this option with your Course Progress Advisor before submitting the form to your faculty.
