While studying with Strategix, students must maintain satisfactory course progress. This is a condition of enrolment and for international students, a condition of their student visa. Students who are enrolled in an online/distance course may not be required to meet course progression requirements, but are given a designated duration as online courses have been developed to be completed as self-paced study.
The progression requirements may be adjusted in some circumstances, including but not limited to:
Exceptional circumstances
Compassionate or compelling grounds, for example, but not limited to:
Serious illness or injury with a medical certificate produced
Immediate family illness or bereavement again with documentation produced
Natural disaster
Mental trauma
Being the victim of a serious crime.
Due to a Progression Plan
An approved deferral or suspension
Credit Transfer and/or Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL).
Satisfactory Course Progress
Students must satisfactorily complete 100% of learner and assessment activities by the end of the Unit of Study (UoS) or assessment due date in order to maintain satisfactory course progress.
Monitor Progression
Strategix monitors progression to ensure students are able to complete their course/s. When a student’s progress drops, it can be improved. Students identified as not being ‘on track’ will receive support to rectify the situation. ‘At-Risk’ Students who do not satisfactorily complete 100% of the required assessment parts by the end of the UoS or due date, are defined as being ‘at risk’. At-risk students are assigned a risk rating of either Low or High Risk. Risk Rating Description Low Risk Majority of Assessment activities completed and are able to catch up during breaks or subsequent UoS. High Risk Incomplete assessment, unable to be caught up in subsequent UoS. For example, when a student has not demonstrated competency in fifty percent (50%) or more of enrolled subjects in one (1) unit of study.
Low-Risk students receive an email to notify them of their outstanding assessments parts from the trainer. The email will outline what is required by the student in order to catch up and in what timeframe it is expected to be accomplished by. High-Risk students are to receive an Progression Meeting Request email inviting them to attend a meeting to discuss anything which may be hindering their studies and to initiate a Progression Plan or discuss a possible suspension of studies.
Consequences
High-risk students who fail to follow the Progression Plan and meet any requirements outlined in the meeting (for two consecutive units of study) are deemed as making Unsatisfactory Course Progress. For international students, unsatisfactory progression is a breach of their visa conditions.
A student, who was at-risk in a unit of study who is able to meet the requirements of the Progress Support email or Progression Plan by the due date will no longer be considered at risk.
