'Excluded' status explained

My Progress Status is Excluded. What does this mean?

Answer ID 41 | Last updated on 26/02/2026 11.16 AM

If your progress status shows as ‘Excluded' in studentConnect, it means you have not made satisfactory progress in your course and you are unable to re-enrol in your course. You will receive an email from the University explaining your progress status, and your options.

It's important you familiarise yourself with the University Policy on Academic Progress.

If there were mitigating circumstances that affected your academic performance or if you believe your progress status may not have been assigned in accordance with the rules, you may lodge a request for a review. Students should refer to their official letter for deadlines and the link to the relevant form.

Things to do next

  • Review the information on the UWA Reviews/ Appeal webpage. There is a How To Video on this page to explain expectations and requirements for requesting a review of progress status. 
  • Make an appointment with your Student Advising Office for guidance. 
  • Access the support services available at Student Support, such as counselling and STUDYSmarter.
  • If you are a student visa holder, you should contact the International team for guidance on how your progress status affects your visa. 
  • If you believe your circumstances have changed after 12 months of exclusion, you may apply for readmission to your course.

NOTE: This does not apply to Higher Degree by Research students. If you are a HDR student please contact the Graduate Research School for clarification on your course status.
