Support to Continue in Study

This process relates to the University investigating whether or not a student is fit to continue with their studies at a particular moment in time. This will apply in situations where the student’s health, wellbeing and/or behaviour are having a detrimental impact on their ability to progress academically and function effectively at the University.

This process may be used when other processes have either been exhausted or are not considered appropriate. Examples of situations where the process may be used are:

  • If there is evidence that you have failed to engage with your studies and this has not been satisfactorily addressed through other interventions or processes.
  • There are serious concerns about your wellbeing
  • Your support needs are beyond the type or level of support which the University can reasonably be expected to provide - including, but not limited to, your health, wellbeing or financial needs.
  • Your behaviour is adversely affecting the activities of the University or placement provider
  • Your behaviour is seen to pose a risk to the health, safety and wellbeing of yourself or others.
  • Your behaviour is negatively impacting the teaching, learning and/or experience of others.

Circumstances are not limited to the list above.
