13      Restoration of good standing: postgraduate coursework

(1)    This section applies to a student if:

(a)    the student is regarded, under section 12(1) (Failure to maintain satisfactory academic progress: postgraduate coursework), as being on probation; and

(b)    in the teaching periods after the teaching period in which the student last failed a course in which the student was enrolled in any postgraduate coursework award program, the student successfully completes 6 (or more) courses in any postgraduate coursework award program (or programs) without failing a course; and

(c)    the 6 (or more) courses successfully completed are completed in consecutive teaching periods.

(2)    However, this section does not apply to the student if, under section 12(3), the student has been excluded from postgraduate coursework award programs for a period, but, under Part 4 (Academic progress appeals and reviews), the Academic Progress Committee has permitted the student to continue to undertake postgraduate coursework award programs.

(3)    In working out for subsection (1)(c) whether teaching periods are consecutive:

(a)    teaching periods are taken to follow the following order:

(i)    summer session;

(ii)    first semester;

(iii)    autumn session;

(iv)    winter session;

(v)    second semester;

(vi)    spring session; and

(b)    any teaching period in which the student is not enrolled in a course for a postgraduate coursework award program is to be disregarded.

(4)    If this section applies to the student:

(a)    the student is no longer regarded as being on probation in relation to postgraduate coursework award programs and is taken to have been restored to good standing in relation to postgraduate coursework award programs; and

(b)    all courses previously failed by the student in any postgraduate coursework award program (or programs) in which the student is, or has been, enrolled are to be disregarded for section 12.

(5)    If the student subsequently fails a course (or courses) in which the student is enrolled in any postgraduate coursework award program, this section does not prevent section 12 applying to the student in relation to the course (or courses). However, to remove any doubt, section 12 does not apply again to any course that, under subsection (4)(b), is to be disregarded for that section.
