Academic Improvement Plan (AIP)

We recognise that there are many factors that can impact your studies and we encourage any student to develop an Academic Improvement Plan.

There are some student groups who are required to complete and Academic Improvement Plan. If you are required to complete an AIP, you will be notified via your Umail.

If we have contacted you regarding completing an AIP, it’s because we’ve identified your academic progress is at risk and that you may need additional support with your studies. 

Students in the following groups will be required to complete a personalised Academic Improvement Plan (AIP):

• Students who have been identified as a Non-Genuine Student under the Job-Ready Graduates Package
• Students who have met the Academic Progress criteria for Stage 2: Assisted Student
• Students who have had an approved Show Cause and have returned to an Academic Progress status of Stage 2: Assisted Student

If you have received an email regarding one or more of the above categories, you are only required to complete one Academic Improvement Plan. 

You will need to:

• Reflect on your studies and identify any barriers that have impacted on your studies
• Outline how these barriers have impacted your ability to successfully complete your studies
• If enrolled, assess your current studies
• Set clear goals and actions you will take to improve your academic performance

This will depend on why you are required to complete an AIP. 

• Non-Genuine Students - restrictions may be placed on your enrolment

• Stage 2: Assisted Student - if you progress to Stage 3, evidence that you have developed and AIP and engaged in the set goals and actions will be taken into consideration

• Approved Show Cause and have returned to an Academic Progress status of Stage 2: Assisted Student - if you progress to Stage 3 for a subsequent time, evidence that you have developed and AIP and engaged in the set goals and actions will be taken into consideration

You should review your AIP:

• Each time your Academic Progress Stage changes
• Prior to each enrolled study period
• If your circumstances change during a study period
• If you change your program or are readmitted after an exclusion period

This is to ensure your study strategies are up to date and relevant to your current circumstances.

If you review your AIP and you feel the information is still current, you may keep your AIP as is. If anything on your AIP is no longer current, you should complete a new AIP to update the information.

You can access your previously completed AIPs or the link to complete a new AIP via your Student Centre > Academic Progress tile.
