What is Ikon's Academic Progression requirements?

At Ikon, students must demonstrate the knowledge, skills, and understanding expected at their qualification level to achieve success in their course. This is reflected by achieving a minimum score of 50% in each subject, demonstrating attainment of course learning outcomes.

A student may be identified as making unsatisfactory academic progress if they:

• Fail to successfully complete 50% or more of their study load in a trimester.
• Fail the same subject/unit twice.
• Fail to re-enrol after an approved study break.
• Withdraw from the same subject more than twice.
• Do not undertake an enrolment load sufficient to complete the course within the maximum allowable timeframe.
• Fail to meet compulsory course requirements (e.g., placements).
• Do not successfully complete all core course subjects.

Additionally, students may be deemed “at risk” of unsatisfactory progress if they:

• Fail their first assessment task in a trimester.
• Do not complete the first assessments for a subject without approved Special Consideration.

Indicators such as poor attendance, lack of engagement, and low grades in assessments may also signal that a student is at risk, prompting additional support.

Important information for students

• International Students: International students must meet course progression requirements as part of their visa conditions. Failure to do so may result in notification to the Department of Home Affairs and visa cancellation.
• FEE-HELP for Domestic Students: Domestic students accessing FEE-HELP must maintain a 50% pass rate to continue using this service. More details can be found on the Study Assist website.
