INTERNAL STUDY? DISTANCE

EDUCATION? EXTERNAL STUDY?

An internal student at the University of Queensland is one who attends lectures in person. Throughout the University the terms distance education/distance learning and external study are used interchangeably. A distance education/external student is one who receives instruction by mail, or via the web. The Faculty of Natural Resources, Ag-riculture and Veterinary Science (NRAVS) offers many of its programs by distance education. For consistency we have used the term ‘external’ study in this booklet. The Faculty recognises that some students intend to enrol in only internal courses, oth-ers intend to enrol in only external courses, and others will enrol in a combination of internal and external courses. Mode of study is not distinguished by QTAC code, i.e. the same code applies for both internal and external offerings of the same program. To assist you with your choices though, this booklet is broken up into two sections – the ﬁrst green-coloured section lists courses of-fered in the internal mode while the second b/w section lists courses offered in external mode.

Regardless of whether or not you study in internal or external mode the program is the same – by the time students graduate they will have all had to complete the same compulsory (Part A) courses. The only difference in the program between the two modes of study is that some of the courses will be offered in different semesters (i.e. a course may be offered in internal mode in First Semester and external mode in Second Semester) and not all Part B or elective courses will be offered in external mode. In this offer pack you will ﬁnd enclosed the

University’s Enrolment Guide. The Enrol-ment Guide takes you through the enrol-ment process on the University’s web-based enrolment system, mySI-net, step-by-step. This booklet supplements the information contained in the Enrolment Guide and aims to help you choose and enrol in the speciﬁc courses for your chosen program. First of all though, it’s important to go over some infor-mation concerning workload, the structure of your program and internal and external mode study options.

STUDENT ADMINISTRATION

PROCESSES

Students of the Faculty of NRAVS are urged to be fully familiar with University and Fac-ulty rules, as ignorance of the rules will not be regarded as grounds for non-compliance. From time to time you may need to refer to the rules that govern your program so you should ensure that you review these rules from time to time.

The rules and processes for your program are broken into three groups, University Processes and Rules, Faculty Processes and Rules and Program Requirements. The terminology used at the University of Queensland can sometimes be confusing. An online guide has been developed to help you understand University Rules and is located at http://www.uq.edu.au/study/ter-minology.html

UNIVERSITY PROCESSES AND RULES

Most student administration processes at The University of Queensland can be accessed by using the MyAdvisor website

ELECTIVES? PART A COURSES?

PART B COURSES?

All of the programs offered by the Faculty have compulsory requirements, set out in Part A and Part B of the program list, and elective requirements. Usually all of the Part A courses, and some, but not all of the Part B courses must be completed in order to graduate. You can choose from a long list of electives to help you pursue your study interests or career aspirations. Most courses are offered only once a year, either in First Semester or Second Semester.

In the course information in the green and b/w sections the compulsory courses have been listed. Where you are able to choose an elective this has been written in (i.e. “Elec-tive” is listed in the relevant semester where you are able to choose one). We have in-cluded a number of recommended electives. To choose an elective INTERNAL students should consult the full program lists on the web at http://www.uq.edu.au/courses/. Select the relevant program entry and then the ‘Program List’ link. You will be able to view all of the course codes and course titles from Part B, as well as the semester in which the courses are offered. Course descriptions can be viewed by following the ‘course information’ link on the mySI-net log on page.

EXTERNAL students can ﬁnd the full external study program lists, including the list of Part B electives, on the Faculty’s web site, as follows:

• http://www.uq.edu.au/nravs • ‘Prospective Students’

• ‘Studying by Distance Education’ • ‘Enrolment Information’

The full program list is called your ‘recom-mended program’. Some courses on the recommended program may change over time and you should check the recommend-ed program at the beginning of every year before you enrol in your courses.

WORKLOAD – FULL TIME? PART TIME?

Unit #: This symbol is used to represent the unit value of a course. The University weights courses in terms of units, chosen to represent the effort expected of students, in study time.

The University has a standard workload of 16 units (#16) per year across all of its programs. Thus, the total units required – • for a two-year diploma are #32 (2 x #16) • for a three-year degree are #48 (3 x #16) • for a four year degree are #64 (4 x #16) • for a ﬁve year degree are #80 (5 x #16) Four courses of two units (total #8) is considered a normal full-time workload for each semester. To be considered eligible for Austudy a student must be enrolled in at least three-quarters of the full time work-load, i.e. #6 per semester.

The schedules for INTERNAL students (the green-coloured pages) in this booklet list all of the courses and the recommended order in which a full-time student should

take them. Thus #8 of courses are listed in First Semester and another #8 of courses are listed in Second Semester for each year. You may choose to take fewer courses than this (as little as #2), as long as you are aware of the impacts on Austudy. If you do choose to enrol part-time you can choose as many courses as you wish from the courses listed in each semester.

The schedules for EXTERNAL students (the b/w pages) in this booklet list all of the courses in the recommended order for part-time students. Thus #4 of courses are listed in each Semester. The courses are set out in this way because it is assumed that students enrolling in external mode will be studying part-time and enrolling in a course load of approximately half that of a full-time internal student. However, you may choose to take fewer courses than this (as little as #2) or more courses up to #8 if you prefer. Just because you have elected to enrol in external mode does not mean you have to enrol part-time – you may choose to enrol full-time (though you will need to check that you can avoid residential school timetable clashes – see the section on ‘Residential Schools’, below). Thus, in First Semester you would enrol in the two courses listed under Semester 1, 2006, and the two courses under Semester 1, 2007 (making #8). For Second Semester you would then enrol in the two courses listed under Semes-ter 2, 2006, and the two courses listed under Semester 2, 2007.

In deciding your course load, as a general rule one unit corresponds to about 6 hours of work per week. Thus, #2 corresponds to approximately 12 hours of work per week over the semester.

RESIDENTIAL SCHOOLS

Some courses delivered in external mode have a compulsory residential school com-ponent. The schools range from one to ﬁve days in length. They provide an opportu-nity for external students to meet lecturers and peers face-to-face and for lecturers to conduct teaching that they might not be able to from a distance (e.g. laboratory experi-ments). Except for some courses in For-estry, all residential schools are held on the UQ Gatton Campus. In First Semester the schools are held in the mid-semester recess in April and in July. In Second Semester, the Schools are held in the mid-semester recess in September/October.

If you do not attend a compulsory residen-tial school in the semester in which you are enrolled in the course, and you have not withdrawn from the course by the due date, you will be considered as having failed the course. Attendance at a voluntary residential school is optional.

When enrolling in courses each year, check that the courses you choose do not have conﬂicting residential school attendance requirements. External students intending to enrol in courses in addition to or different from the recommended program of #4 per semester should check to see that residential

schools for the extra courses do not clash with those in the recommended program. The Faculty cannot guarantee that there will be no clashes outside of the recommended schedule.

You will receive a residential school time-table with your study material, and a copy is also available on the Faculty website (http://www.uq.edu.au/nravs) by following the same links as listed above (see the sec-tion on ‘Electives’).

ENROLLING

Having thought about your mode of study and your preferred course load you are now ready to enrol in some courses. The Univer-sity’s preferred method of enrolment is via its web-based enrolment system, mySI-net (please note that if you do not have access to the internet you can call 1300 132 882 to request a paper enrolment form). The Enrolment Guide sets out how you log on to mySI-net and ﬁll in your personal details. Field of Study

If you are enrolling in one of the following programs:

• Diploma of Applied Science (DipAppSc) • Bachelor of Applied Science (BAppSc) • Bachelor of Agricultural Science

(BAgrSc)

• Bachelor of Environmental Management (BEnvMan)

• Bachelor of Natural Resource Economics (BNatResEcon)

You will also need to declare your field of study (or what is called your ‘plan’ or ‘ma-jor’). On your mySI-net home page, under the drop down list titled, ‘BAppSc prog.’ for example (or ‘BAgrSc prog.’ or ‘BNatResEc-on prog.’ etc) you will see an opti‘BNatResEc-on called ‘Change Plan’. If you select this option you can then choose your field of study. For ex-ample, if you are in the Bachelor of Applied Science you will be able to select ‘Agrono-my’, ‘Horticulture’ or ‘Wildlife Science’ etc. It is very important that you choose your field of study when you enrol.

Courses

Once you have selected your ﬁeld of study you can then enrol in courses. Select the courses from the relevant list of courses for your program and ﬁeld of study and use the ‘Add Courses’ button situated at the bottom of your mySI-net home page to enrol. You will be taken to a screen where you can type in the relevant course code. The next screen allows you to select either internal or exter-nal mode offerings (where both modes are available, otherwise you will be presented with only one study mode option). You need to enrol in courses for both First Semester and Second Semester.

Although you must enrol in both semesters of your ﬁrst year now, the opportunity will exist to change your selection of courses any time up until 10 March 2006, for First Semester. You will have ample opportunity to change your Second Semester courses.

(7)

Now that you are enrolled there are just a few more things to consider.

DUAL DEGREES

A dual degree is a program where students study the compulsory parts of two sepa-rate programs to earn two qualifications in significantly less time than by studying them separately. Some of the programs in the NRAVS Faculty are available for study as dual degrees within the Faculty or with Education, Arts, Business or Law. If you are considering enrolling in a dual degree you should contact the faculty office at either the Gatton or St Lucia campuses. During Orien-tation Week there will be an opportunity to discuss dual degree options with academic advisors.

ORIENTATION

You will ﬁnd information in the enrolment package on the University’s Orientation program. The Faculty of NRAVS offers programs on two campuses. The St Lucia Campus and the Gatton Campus have sepa-rate orientation programs. It is compulsory for students studying internally to attend orientation activities. During these activi-ties your timetable will be discussed and many of your questions will be answered. Students enrolled in external mode, while not expected to attend orientation, are most welcome at all or any of the activities held during Orientation Week. There is an Orien-tation program at the UQ Gatton Campus on Saturday, 25 February 2006 especially for students studying by distance education, for those who are able to attend.

COMPUTING

Most of the University’s administration systems are web-based that allow you to manage your enrolment, class timetable, library loans, etc, on-line. Accordingly, it is a University expectation that you will have private access to a computer and the internet. However, it is also appreciated that not all students can afford to purchase their own computer. Computer facilities are available on campus in all Student Centres and Library branches. Allowances will be made for external students living in remote areas who do not have access to the internet, though external students should make every effort to plan for regular access to the internet. Such students can contact Faculty administration to inform the Faculty of their various needs (please see contact details, on this page). Please call 1300 132 882 if you need to request a paper enrolment form.

BOOKLIST

The booklist will be available in January 2006. Enquiries can be made to the Mail Order department of the UQ Bookshop on

FACULTY ADMINISTRATION

From time to time you will need to seek ap-proval from the Faculty for various aspects of your continuing study. For example, you may wish to apply for credit for previous learning or request a change of program at some stage. Information about how to submit administrative requests can be ob-tained from any Student Centre. If you are off-campus you can also contact the Student Centre by telephone or email.

In most cases the Faculty will communicate its decisions via email or over mySI-net. You will receive a written letter only where your request is denied or on issues relating to ad-mission to a new program. Other important information is often disseminated via email and the Faculty will not accept that you have not been informed of a decision affecting you if you have been sent information via your email address. Accordingly, it is vital that you check for email to your student email address on a regular basis – at least once a fortnight. Administrative requests usually take a maximum of four weeks to process.

The Faculty can be contacted by telephone on (07) 5460 1276 or email

[email protected] Director of Studies

In some extreme situations students may wish to request changes to requirements of the program or other special approv-als. These requests should be forwarded in writing to:

The Director of Studies Faculty of NRAVS

The University of Queensland Gatton Campus

Gatton Qld 4343

Or email [email protected]

You should not proceed with your request until you have received approval from the Faculty.
