FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
Will My Attendance Be Recorded Daily On Hourly Basis?
Yes, student’s attendance will be recorded daily. Administration Officer will maintain and record course attendance every week on the Attendance tool and submit it to the Training Manager. Attendance reports will be generated and analysed weekly and students who are not attending classes will be identified.
Who Will Be Responsible For Analysing And Monitoring My Attendance?
UWA’s administration department will summarise and monitor attendance record at the end of each week. Training manager and/or administration department will analyse the weekly attendance tool and will determine satisfactory and unsatisfactory attendance of students every week.
What Is Satisfactory Attendance? What Is The Percentage Of Attendance That I Need To Maintain?
Students are required to maintain a minimum of 80% of attendance to maintain satisfactory attendance.
What Is Unsatisfactory Attendance?
UWA will regularly monitor attendance and send warning letters to the students. If a student’s attendance is at the risk of falling below 80% or has fallen below 80% or the student has been absent for more than 5 consecutive days without approval. This will mean that attendance is unsatisfactory.
Will I Receive Warning Letters Based On Low Attendance Requirements?
Yes, UWA’s Student Administration will send low attendance warning letters to students because low attendance will lead to unsatisfactory course progress which will further lead to students being reported to the Department of Home Affairs via PRISMS.
Will I Be Reported To DHA Based On Low Attendance?
No, UWA will not report a student based on unsatisfactory attendance. However, Low attendance might lead to unsatisfactory course progress which will further lead to you being reported to the Department of Home Affairs via PRISMS.
What Should I Do After Receiving Low Attendance Letter?
UWA’s student administration will contact you. Training Manager or representative will meet you and discuss intervention strategies which can be implemented to assist you to maintain satisfactory attendance and achieve satisfactory course progress.
Do I Need To Apply For RPL On The Basis Of Low Attendance?
Yes, according to the attendance requirements of ASQA 2019, if an overseas student is not attending scheduled classes, but is making satisfactory progress in their course, then the course duration set may not be suitable for that student—because they must already have the skills, knowledge and experience to progress in their course without receiving structured training. In this case, Unified WA may invite student to apply for RPL and may reduce the duration of the course to the minimum duration required given the student’s existing skills and knowledge, while maintaining a minimum of 20 scheduled course contact hours per week.
