Repeating failed unit

A. Policy


  • Students are not required to be enrolled full time in their final semester where the students have been required to repeat units of study. (NC 40)
  • A student is not permitted to repeat a unit of study more than once. (NC 40)

B. Guidelines

Under Government legislation, international students on a student visa can repeat a unit once only if enrolled part-time and in their final semester of study.

The interpretation of the rule regarding the repeating of failed units is that students can repeat a unit more than once if enrolled as a full time student. Students however enrolled part time and in their final semester can repeat once only.
