Supporting Student’s Success
Curtin has very clear policy and procedures around how we support students in their academic pursuits. These Policy and Procedures can be found in our Curtin Policy Library.
In addition, we are working now to build a Student Success Strategy which aims to clearly define what we need to do as an institution to ensure students achieve success, in this case program completion. A co-design approach including input from students, central staff and academic staff means all aspects of the student’s study journey are captured in the design and addressed.

Student Success Principles
The strategy incorporates Academic Board approved Student Success Principles.
Success Definition:
Success at Curtin can encompass academic, personal and social achievements and will be unique to each individual. Whilst we embrace a personalised success story, we also strive to support students to complete a higher education program which will provide an added dimension to future aspirations.
Success happens when a student:
Stays past Census ⇒ Passes their units ⇒ Stays in a course
