Appeals may only be lodged in relation to decisions on credit made by the relevant Pro Vice-Chancellor or authorised officer.
Appeals may not be lodged against a decision to not grant credit if considered under the Exceptions Approval – Non Standard Credit process (those decisions requiring approval by the Deputy Vice-Chancellor, Academic).
A formal appeal must be submitted in writing within 10 working days of notification of the outcome of an application for credit for recognised learning.
As a minimum the written appeal should include:
- A letter which states what you believe you should be recognised for
- Proof of your achievements.
The written appeal should be lodged with Manager, Admissions Office via the Contact Us Page on the Curtin University website and follow these steps:
- Log into your OASIS
- Go to this link
- Scroll down and from the ‘What is your enquiry about’ drop down list, select ‘I have received the outcome of my CRL and have some questions’.
- In the ‘Details of your enquiry’ box, the following information will be required:
- Please state that you wish to formally appeal your CRL outcome.
- Detailed objection to the outcome, specifying which units your objection relates to; and
- Attach any relevant or supporting documentation.
You will be sent an acknowledgement of receipt of the appeal within five working days.
Where an authorised officer is responsible for the assessment of the relevant credit for recognised learning application, the appeal will be assessed and decided by the relevant Faculty Pro Vice-Chancellor. The decision of the relevant Faculty Pro Vice-Chancellor is final and there are no further avenues to appeal.
Alternatively, where the Faculty Pro Vice-Chancellor has made the original decision, the appeal will be decided by the Provost. The decision of the Provost is final and there are no further avenues to appeal.
The decision maker will notify you, in writing, of the appeal outcome within 15 working days of the receipt of your application.
