If you have failed a unit, then it may be possible to enrol in that unit again for a subsequent study period. You should first seek course advice from Student Central to confirm the unit offering and review and adjust your course plan, if required.
We strongly encourage you to seek feedback or suggestions from your teaching staff and/or Unit Chair before taking a unit for a second time. Their contact details can be found on your CloudDeakin unit site.
Academic progress
Please note that if you fail the same unit twice, fail a compulsory practicum or placement, or fail at least 50% of credit points in each of two preceding study periods then you may be contacted by your Faculty Academic Progress and Integrity team to discuss your academic progression. In some cases, intervention/s may be applied on your enrolment to help you achieve your academic potential. Find out more on the Academic progress webpage.
