Academic Support
Students may have concerns with their academic performance or other related issues that are placing them at risk of not achieving the requirements of their course. Students can gain advice and support in ensuring they maintain an appropriate academic level, and general support to ensure that they achieve satisfactory course progress. Student’s course progress and attendance are monitored and proper guidance and support are provided if unsatisfactory course progress or low attendance has been identified.
Unsatisfactory Course Progress is defined as not successfully completing or demonstrating competency in at least 50% of the units in the given study period defined in the training and assessment strategy for the course. Students will be reported to the Department of Home Affairs (DHA) if a student shows unsatisfactory course progress in two consecutive study periods.
A student can discuss any academic or other related issues to study at Avir Institute of skills at any time with the student support officer. The student support officer will be able to provide advice and guidance, or referral, where required.
We carefully monitor course progress to ensure students do not fall behind course requirements because we want our students to succeed.
