Any candidate for an award of this University who wishes to be considered for the granting of credit towards an award for subjects already successfully completed at another institution must apply in writing to the appropriate faculty office, enclosing a full official transcript from the institution concerned. No credit towards an award of this University can be considered to have been approved unless it has been formally granted by the Executive Dean of the relevant faculty.

A list of dates by which enrolment may be varied or cancelled:

is printed on page 282 of this publication.

CROSS-INSTITUTIONAL ENROLMENT

AWARD STRUCTURES AND PLANNING A COURSE OF STUDY

The following information details the basic principles according to which the University’s Awards are structured. It is important that students also read the Requirements for Undergraduate Coursework Awards, Faculty Award Requirements and the Award Requirements for the course in which they are enrolled, to ensure familiarity with the conditions of the degree regulations.

1. UNIT STRUCTURE

The University’s subject structure is based on multiples of 3-unit subjects.

Each subject is based on a unit structure with three or six units per subject being acceptable. In exceptional cases, especially at postgraduate level, Faculties may approve subjects with unit values in excess of six units.

2. THE MODEL

2.1 A three-year degree normally requires 72 units based on eight subjects of three units at levels 1, 2 and 3. A four-year degree normally requires 96 units. The minimum duration and required number of units for each level of Award offered by the University is shown below.

Certificate 6 months part-time 6 units
Advanced Diploma and Diploma 2 years 48 units
Undergraduate Degree 3 years 72 units
Undergraduate Degree 4 years 96 units
Honours Degree final year 1 year 24 units
Graduate or Postgraduate Certificate 6 months 12 units
Graduate or Postgraduate Diploma 1 year 24 units
Masters Degree by Coursework 18 months or 2 years 36 units or  48 units
Masters Degree by Research 18 months 36 units equiv.
Doctor of Philosophy 3 years
Professional Doctorate 3 years

2.1 Faculties may allow students, with the approval of the appropriate officer, to graduate where the student is within one or two units of completing the prescribed requirements for the Award, including joint degrees.

2.2 The normal enrolment for a full-time student is 24 units in an academic year, or 12 units in each semester. Thus, a three unit subject should be planned to require a quarter of a full-time student’s available time and effort in a semester. Further information on full- and part-time status is given at section 7, below.

2.3 The maximum enrolment normally permitted is 18 units per semester.

3. SUBJECTS

3.1 Subjects may not have different unit values for the same content at the same level.

3.2 Subjects that have substantial overlap in content are listed as inadmissible combinations.

3.3 LEVEL 1

3.3 The first year of an undergraduate degree requires eight 3-unit semester subjects at level 1.

3.4 LEVEL 2, 3 OR 4

3.4 The second, third and fourth years of the degree normally require eight 3-unit semester subjects, but may include 6-unit subjects at levels 3 and 4. Year long subjects and subjects of a greater size are only accepted in the third and fourth years with the approval of the faculty. Honours and professional subjects can be any size in multiples of three units up to 24 units.

3.5 POSTGRADUATE

3.5 Postgraduate subjects are normally three or six units.

4. CONTACT HOURS

4.1 Degrees should be designed with the expectation that the average student undertaking 24 units in a year can reasonably expect that the workload including contact and non-contact hours will be between 40 and 48 hours per week.

4.2 At the undergraduate level, each 3-unit subject is of one semester’s duration and requires up to six hours of contact time per week. The maximum contact for a 24 unit year should be 24 hours per week. Fieldwork and practicums can be conducted outside the designated teaching weeks.

5. PREREQUISITES

5.1 Definition — A prerequisite is a subject or subjects or a set of conditions which must be met before enrolment in a subject is approved.

5.2 Prerequisite subjects should be kept to a minimum and used only where sequential learning is involved. Prerequisite subjects may be implied in program structures.

6. COURSES AND MAJORS

6. The University has adopted the terms course and major as the terminology used to describe the content of its Awards (see description of course and major in Definitions on page 12).

7. FULL- AND PART-TIME STUDY

7.1 FULL-TIME STUDY

7.1 A full-time student normally enrols for 12 units in each semester and 24 units in each academic year. It is important to note that a student must be enrolled in at least nine units in a semester to be regarded as full-time; those whose enrolment drops below nine units at any stage in the semester normally will no longer be eligible for Austudy or, if an overseas student, for a student visa.

7.2 PART-TIME STUDY

7.2 A part-time student normally enrols for fewer than nine units in a semester and fewer than 18 units in an academic year. Part-time study in most courses is available, but classes during the evening can be offered in only a limited number of subjects. Students who foresee difficulty in attending classes during the day should therefore take note of published lecture times in planning their enrolment.

7.2 A part-time student is normally permitted to enrol in a workload that suits the student’s requirements provided that any specifications within degree requirements concerning minimum enrolment and/or maximum period of candidature are complied with.

STUDENT CONTRIBUTIONS

It is essential that all Commonwealth supported students read:

Commonwealth supported students should also read the information relating to Commonwealth supported students and student contributions provided on JCU’s Current Student webpages at www.jcu.edu.au/currentstudent/

Commonwealth supported students are liable for a student contribution amount for each subject in which they are enrolled after the census date for the subject.

The census date for a subject is the date by which a Commonwealth supported student must:

A student will incur a HECS-HELP debt if enrolled in a subject after the census date, and is eligible for HECS-HELP assistance and has:

A student’s enrolment in the subject will be cancelled if the student:

If a student has not enrolled in a subject by the census date, he/she will not be permitted to do so as a Commonwealth supported student. The student may be permitted to enrol in the subject after the census date as a miscellaneous student, and would thus be required to pay miscellaneous student fees for the subject. (Note: miscellaneous student fees do not attract Commonwealth support, so HECS-HELP cannot be used to pay miscellaneous student fees.)

It is very important that all students check their enrolment prior to the census dates. Subject changes and withdrawals must be made in writing, and must be received by the University by the close of business on the last working day on or before the census date.

The following table shows the student contribution amounts payable by Commonwealth Supported supported students who commenced their course of study on or after 1 January 1997. Student contribution amounts vary depending upon the discipline of the subjects studied and the number of units undertaken. An annual full-time study load (1 EFTSL) is 24 units.
