Before you request a review
A selection review considers whether the University’s selection policies and processes were applied correctly. It does not re-rank applicants or reassess academic merit where the original decision was correct.
A request for review is appropriate if you believe that
- It is not clear why your application was unsuccessful, or
- You believe the relevant information you provided was not considered, or
- You believe there was an error in how your application was assessed against the published selection criteria.
A review may not be appropriate if you did not meet the GPA and/or course entry requirements. Please refer to the University Handbook for specific and up-to-date information.
Please note that where entry into some courses is highly competitive with only a limited number of places available, meeting the minimum entry course requirement does not guarantee entry.
How the review process works
If you request a selection review:
- Your application and selection decision will be reviewed by the Academic Registrar
- The review will focus on whether policy and process were applied correctly
- You’ll receive a formal written outcome once the review is complete.
Submitting a review does not guarantee a change to the original decision.
What happens after a review
If you’re dissatisfied with the outcome of the review, you may be eligible to lodge an appeal.
An appeal:
- Can only be made after a review has been completed
- Must meet specific grounds under the University’s Student Appeals Policy (MPF1323)
- Is reviewed by Academic Board – the final appeal body for matters relating to selection.
Appeals are not available for general dissatisfaction with a decision.
Refer to the Student appeals page for further information.
