Appeal form for notification of intention to report unsatisfactory attendance

A requirement of your international student visa granted under the Australian Government's Education Services of Overseas Students (ESOS) Act 2000 is that you must attend at least 80% of the scheduled hours of your course.

Our records indicate that you are no longer able to meet the 80% attendance requirement.

You can use this form to lodge an appeal against the decision to report your unsatisfactory attendance to the Department of Home Affairs (DHA) if you can provide:

• Evidence that there has been an error in the process that has been a significant factor in the decision, and/or
• Evidence that significant circumstances have not been considered, and/or
• New, relevant evidence that was not available at the time the unsatisfactory attendance was identified that would have been a significant factor in the decision

1. Complete this form within 20 working days of receiving the notice of RMIT University Pathways (RMIT UP)'s intention to report that addresses the grounds that you feel will support your case. The Senior Pathways Planning and Operations Manager (or delegate) at RMIT UP will review the appeal and consult with relevant staff as required.
2. Attach and submit supporting documentation as evidence.
