Internal (face-to-face)Ìý

Internal courses are conducted on campus with face-to-face classes held over 10 weeks. For some internal courses students are expected to attend a workshop component held in the Residential School (generally held one week before each term starts on campus). Check the timetable to see if your course has a workshop. Many internal courses also include an online learning component.

External (distance)Ìý

External courses are offered by distance mode using online teaching. Some courses might have a workshop component which is held in the Residential School (generally held one week before each term starts on campus). Workshops are followed by a 10-week term of self-study with follow-up assignment material. Courses usually include an online learning component.

A few of our courses have an intensive workshop component held during a Residential School on the Kensington Campus in Sydney. Most of these workshops are optional although a few are compulsory for students. Residential Schools are held one week before the beginning of each term in February, May and September. Please make sure that you check your course timetable to see which days you are required to attend.Ìý

Although most of the workshops are for distance students, in some instances optional workshops will also be available for internal students to attend during the Residential School. In this case, it will be noted on the timetable.Ìý

Students are expected to make their own travel and accommodation arrangements to attend the Residential School.Ìý

The census date for each term is the last date to discontinue a course without academic penalty and without financial liability for fees/HECS-HHELP. For terms 1, 2 and 3, the census date will be the Sunday of Week 4.

Please check for updated details on deadlines regarding enrolment, discontinuation and census dates.

You may still discontinue courses after the census date and until the Withdrawal without Failure date, without academic penalty. However you are still held liable for fees/HECS-HELP liability for the course. The Withdrawal without Failure date is usually the end of Week 6 for Term 1, 2 and 3 teaching periods.Ìý

If your request for withdrawal from one or more courses is the result of exceptional circumstances, you may be eligible to apply for reimbursement of charges for the course. In addition, if exceptional circumstances prevent you from completing a course, and the Withdrawal without Failure date has passed, you may choose to apply for late withdrawal from a course.
