INFORMATION FOR STUDENTS

IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR STUDENTS

This Handbook provides information on the University's policies, procedures, rules, course requirements and subject details that students need prior to enrolling and during their studies.

Published Information Subject to Change

The information contained in this publication was correct as of 30 November 2005 but is subject to change. The University reserves the right to amend or modify without notice the content of the Handbook. The University will attempt to inform students of changes which may affect their enrolment.

Cancellation of or Variation in Requirements of Subject(s)

The University reserves the right to not offer subjects which do not meet indicative minimum enrolment numbers. These enrolment numbers are:

Subjects are offered on condition that staff and resources are available. The University reserves the right to cancel or vary the requirements of a subject at any time if for reasons beyond its control (including withdrawal of funding) in the reasonable opinion of the University the staff and resources available for the subject fall below the level required for the proper delivery and teaching of the subject. The University will make every reasonable effort to ensure that the cancellation, or variation to the requirements, of any subject will not impede the progress of students towards the completion of their course.

Restrictions on Enrolment in Subjects

The University may restrict enrolments in subjects where numbers are in excess of those that a School can teach efficiently or for which it can provide adequate physical resources. Where a subject is oversubscribed, students adversely affected should consult their Associate Dean, Faculty Registrar or Academic Adviser.

Tuition Contact Hours

The hours of tuition for any subject may be modified or combined but in total will not exceed the hours published in this Handbook. Unless otherwise advised, classes should commence on the hour and finish at or before ten (10) minutes to the hour. For students studying on campus, the published Lecture Timetable must be consulted for the days and times when lectures, tutorials, workshops etc. are scheduled. The University is under no obligation to replace classes which would have fallen on a day that is a public holiday or is otherwise lost by circumstances beyond the University's control. However, where classes are scheduled to be held on a day that is lost, faculties and schools may make alternative teaching or study arrangements if they believe that achievement of student learning outcomes will be adversely affected.

For Further Information

Students are encouraged to contact the University through the school or faculty offices or the Student Enquiries Centre for further information if required.
