Section 3 - Procedure

Success and engagement attributes

(6) Successful students actively engage by:

1. engaging with studies, measured via interaction with online subject content and learning materials using the learning management system (LMS)
2. engaging with compulsory University systems and processes in a timely manner
3. achieving satisfactory grades for all enrolled subjects in an applicable teaching period.

Student monitoring

(7) The University monitors success and engagement to identify and support students through early intervention, where appropriate.

(8) The University will proactively monitor:

1. student engagement in the LMS during each applicable teaching period to identify those with low engagement in learning materials
2. other behavioural data such as maintenance of enrolment, electronic Commonwealth assistance form (eCAF) submissions, completion of the academic integrity module and working with children check (where applicable), to identify students who have or may have disengaged
3. students in their first 12 months of enrolment in a course with fail grade(s) at the end of an applicable teaching period, to identify where support may be needed.

Support and intervention process

(9) The table below outlines the indicators used to identify students demonstrating challenges in meeting the expected success and engagement attributes. All identified students receive targeted support or intervention, unless otherwise stated under Exceptions:

Coordinating and monitoring intervention processes

(10) The University recognises that student engagement priorities may evolve each year based on student performance indicators and emerging trends. Regular analysis of overall student data informs adjustments to early intervention strategies, ensuring support remains relevant and responsive to student needs. This may include refining key engagement expectations, enhancing support services, or implementing targeted initiatives to address identified challenges.

(11) This procedure is coordinated by the Division of Student Success, with interventions executed by the Division of Student Experience and Office of Engagement and Enterprise.
