Process needed for students going on placement/practicums.
Where students are undertaking a placement
activity in satisfaction of a requirement as part of an approved
course of study, prior to being allowed to go on placement, the
placement Coordinator will ensure that all of the following requirements
have been satisfied.
The student is enrolled at the University in
an approved course of study.
For insurance purposes,
the student is enrolled in the placement subject.
Where the placement precedes a teaching period,
the student is pre-enrolled.
Where the placement is
subsequent to a teaching period, the student may undertake the placement
on a Result Withheld basis.
Where the completion
of the course of study is subject only to the completion of the
placement, the Association Services Fee has been paid.
Fees associated with
the subject/placement have been paid to the University either in
full or in line with an approved payment scheme.
The Association Services
Fee has been paid thereby ensuring that the student is covered under
the Association's Accident Insurance policy.
The placement program
is recognised as a course-related activity thereby bringing the
activity under Public Liability in-service coverage.
The student, if working
with children, is in possession of a suitability card; or has taken
the prescribed steps toward obtaining a suitability card by completion
of the relevant application for a working with children check and
lodgement with the placement agency for submission to the Commission
for Children and Young People.
The student, if performing
a placement as a health care worker, has taken appropriate steps
towards compliance with Queensland Health immunisation requirements
in accordance with the signed undertaking provided as a condition
of enrolment.
Subjects offered via internal mode require regular attendance
at classes over most weeks of a study period and are usually held
on campus. Internal mode subjects offered during Semester 1 (Study
Period 1) or Semester 2 (Study Period 2) are generally of 13 weeks duration.
Block (B)
Subjects
offered via block mode require attendance at classes conducted via
block teaching sessions and may be held on or off campus. For example
classes may be held from 9.00am - 5.00pm Saturday and Sunday for three
consecutive weekends, or may be held three nights per week for,
say, four weeks.
Limited (L)
Subjects offered via limited attendance mode
are offered via flexible delivery and require some on-campus attendance
for classes. Flexible delivery may incorporate the delivery of teaching
material wholly or in part via the Internet, print material or CD
Rom. Practicum subjects are sometimes recorded as limited attendance
mode subjects.
External (X)
Subjects offered via external mode are offered
by flexible delivery and require no on-campus attendance for classes.
Flexible delivery may incorporate the delivery of teaching material
wholly or in part via the Internet, print material or CD Rom.

All James Cook University subject offerings
are assigned to a study period. There are 11 main study periods,
numbered from Study Period 1 through to Study Period 11. There are
also a number of additional study periods available only to specific
teaching locations or disciplines.
Each study period has a designated:
start date
end date
census date
last date for addition
or substitution of subjects without prior approval of subject coordinator
last date for withdrawal
without academic penalty
date for release of subject
results.
Each study period is also allocated to a teaching
period. The academic year is divided into two teaching periods.
Teaching Period 1 is the first six months of the year and Teaching
Period 2 is the second six months of the year. Subjects with a census
date prior to 1 July fall within Teaching Period 1 and subjects
with a census date on or after 1 July fall within Teaching Period
2.

* Census dates do not apply to international
students studying through JCU partnership arrangements (such as
ITTI, Washington Business School, James Cook University Singapore).
The census dates for these students are as established in the offer
contract.
A student's enrolment in a subject is considered
to be finalised as at close of business on the last working day
on or before the census date.
Students are liable for student contribution
amounts, tuition fees or international student fees for subjects
in which they are enrolled after the census date for the subject. Withdrawals
from subjects must be made, in writing, by the close of business
on the last working day on or before the census date.
Government legislation specifies that a student
cannot enrol in a subject as a Commonwealth supported student after
the census date for the subject.
The final assessment for each subject will
be due on or before the end date of the study period in which the
subject is taught. The last two weeks of Study Periods 1 and 2 are
reserved for formal examinations. The week prior to each examination
period is reserved for study vacation.
The last two weeks of all other study periods
are generally allocated for the completion of assessment.
In specific circumstances it is sometimes necessary
for the teaching of a subject to start prior to the standard start
date of the study period or for the subject to finish after the
standard end date of the study period. In instances where this occurs,
information on the non-standard start date or end date is provided
online via JCU's subject database on the Courses and Degrees webpage.
Study Periods marked with a plus(+) have non-standard
start/end dates. Please refer to the web Handbook for these dates.
Students will notice that some subject titles
end in phrases such as “Part 1 of 2” or “Part 3 of 4”. Such subjects
form part of a subject chain which is a group of two or more subjects,
all of which must be successfully completed in sequence to achieve
a passing grade. Before enrolling in the first subject in a subject
chain, students should note the following:
the subject name indicates
where the subject comes in the chain. eg
Anthropology Honours Part 1 of 2 and
Anthropology Honours Part 2 of 2;
Part 1 subjects are prerequisites
for Part 2 subjects, Part 2 for Part 3 etc;
the census date and last
date for withdrawal without academic penalty for each subject
in a chain are those for the study period in which it is
offered;
all subjects in a subject
chain are to be completed in sequential study periods;
students
will not be eligible to receive a passing grade until all subjects
in the subject chain have been successfully completed;
upon successful completion
of the final subject in a chain, students will receive
the same passing grade for all subjects in the chain.
