If you are not satisfied with the outcome of your Application for Withdrawal without Financial Penalty you can request a review by JCU’s Review Officer. This must be submitted within 20 University working days.
Submit a review
You may at any stage in the consideration of your review seek the assistance of a support person, other than a person acting in the capacity of a lawyer. You are encouraged you to seek assistance, if you have not already done so, from a JCU Student Association Student Advocate, who provides a free and confidential service which is independent of JCU. Contact the JCU Student Association by email studentassociation@jcu.edu.au, or by freecall on 1800 330 021.
In applying for a review, you must detail the reasons for your request and you may also want to supply independent third party documentation to support your case (such as a letter from your doctor or counsellor), which shows:
- That your circumstances changed after the census date;
- How your circumstances prevented you from continuing your studies;
- When you became aware you could no longer continue with your studies; and
- Due to circumstances which were beyond your control, you were prevented from withdrawing from your studies prior to the census date/s
