Australian education providers must monitor the studies of overseas students and ensure that they meet International Student Visa requirements of attendance levels and satisfactory progression through course content. Unsatisfactory course progress or attendance must be reported, but assistance must be offered to students who are failing their course prior to taking action to report them. Providers will give written warning of progress or attendance concerns about a student and must also provide written notification of their intention to report a student.
If a provider sends a letter indicating a student is being reported, the student can appeal this decision if they think their provider is unfair or wrong to report them. Such actions must be taken within prescribed time limits and any appeal must be made firstly through the provider’s processes and then through an independent person/body if the outcome is still unsatisfactory. Staying focused on studies, and attending classes is the key to avoiding any extra stresses. See also Topic 6 : Complaints and Appeals
