25      Exclusion appeal: hearing and decision

(1)    This section applies if a student is excluded under this instrument from undergraduate coursework award programs, postgraduate coursework award programs, or medical programs, for a specified period (the exclusion decision), and the student appeals to the Academic Progress Committee against the exclusion decision.

(2)    The committee may decide the appeal solely on the basis of the student's academic record, the length of the program in which the student was enrolled, and the notice of appeal and any material accompanying it. However, the committee may make the inquiries, and have regard to anything else, that the committee considers appropriate.

(3)    If the appeal is not against exclusion from medical programs, the committee may take account of any non-award enrolment completed by the student.

(4)    However, success in passing a course as part of a non-award enrolment, even if credit is later granted in connection with an award program being undertaken by the student, is not to be regarded as conclusive evidence of the ability of the student to meet the remaining academic requirements of an award program.

(5)    The committee may:

(a)    confirm the exclusion decision; or

(b)    confirm the decision to exclude the student from undergraduate or postgraduate coursework award programs or from medical programs, as the case requires, but reduce the period of the exclusion; or

(c)    set aside the exclusion decision and permit the student to continue to undertake undergraduate or postgraduate coursework award programs or medical programs, as the case requires; or

(d)    set aside the exclusion decision if satisfied that the decision was, or has become, inappropriate or incorrect because, for example, the student's result for coursework has been amended on review or appeal.

(6)    If the committee permits the student to undertake undergraduate or postgraduate coursework award programs or medical programs, the committee may impose conditions on the permission.

(7)    Without limiting subsection (6), the conditions that may be imposed under that subsection include all or any of the following:

(a)    requiring the student to transfer to another award program;

(b)    requiring the student to vary student's load to take account of the impact of external pressures on the student's academic studies;

(c)    requiring the student to take leave of absence from the student's award program for a specified period;

(d)    requiring the student to undertake specified clinical or professional practice;

(e)    requiring the student to consult with specified academic or professional staff for advice and support.

(8)    If the committee imposes conditions on the student's permission to undertake undergraduate or postgraduate coursework award programs or medical programs, it is the student's responsibility to comply with the conditions if the student wishes to continue to undertake undergraduate or
