Academic progression records for a named student: unsatisfactory academic progress notices, show cause applications (often with personal, medical or family circumstances), notices of intention to exclude, exclusion outcomes and progression improvement plans.

Engine: boost_regex
Confidence: medium
Confidence justification: Medium: primary anchors are distinctive form titles and statutory terms, but they also appear in guidance, blank forms and statistics, so enforce tiers require populated record structure. 85/75 are heuristic evidence tiers, not measured accuracy; test values are synthetic records laid out like the published forms.

Should match

Show Cause Application – Unsatisfactory Academic Progress Student name: Jamie Teston Student number: 45118273 Program: Bachelor of Engineering GPA: 2.1 over two semesters Reasons: carer for a parent with cancer; will study part-time next semester. — Populated record 1
Notice of Intention to Exclude Student name: Alex Teston Student ID: 0071932 You failed 50% of units in two consecutive study periods. You may submit a show cause response by 14/12/2026. — Populated record 2
Academic progression — show cause outcome Student number: n11234567 Outcome: academic exclusion for 12 months; readmission requires an approved study plan. — Narrative record 3 without labelled fields (reaches 65 discovery only, by design)

Should not match

Students who fail half or more of their units in a study period may be placed on academic probation and asked to show cause why they should not be excluded. — Guidance or explainer text
Show cause application Student name: __________ Student number: __________ Reasons for unsatisfactory progress: __________ — Blank form
The university issued 1,850 notices of intention to exclude in 2025, down 12% on 2024. — Aggregate statistics or news

Known false positives

Guidance pages, fact sheets, policy and training text that name the record type. Mitigation: Enforce tiers require populated record fields; guidance uses the labels without values.
Blank forms and form kits. Mitigation: Blank lines, square-bracket and angle-bracket placeholders and n/a/tbc values are rejected.
Aggregate statistics and news reporting. Mitigation: No populated person or reference fields, so these stay at 65 discovery.
