1. How to use this Guide

This Course Enrolment Guide 2011 provides you with information on when and where the units available for study in this program(s) will be offered in 2011. Students should note that not all units will be offered every year.

Enrolling in units for 2011

1. Read Section 2. ‘Program Information’ for information on course structure and unit sequence. Take note of any prerequisite or co-requisite requirements before selecting particular units

A prerequisite is a requirement that must be met by a student before enrolment in a stipulated unit. It is your responsibility to ensure that you meet the prerequisites for a unit prior to enrolling into that unit.

2. Refer to the unit listings in Section 4. ‘Units Offered in 2011’ to select your units. Take note of the study period in which units are offered.

3. You must refer to Enrolment and Managing Your Studies on the ACU website (http://www.acu.edu.au/136410) for information on how to complete your enrolment via Student Connect. ‘Enrolment and Managing Your Studies’ also provides information on study period definitions, modes of study, campus locations, dates for each study period and census dates.

4. Log on to Student Connect and enrol.

IMPORTANT NOTE

Failure to enrol or re-enrol before the published Due dates for re-enrolment on the ACU website (http://www.acu.edu.au/247953) may result in late fee penalties.

Even if you are unsure of what units you need to enrol in, please ensure that you enrol or re-enrol in at least one unit before the due date. Enrolling in at least one unit by the due date will enable you to add further units, or amend your enrolment via Student Connect up until the final dates published in the Critical Dates for Variation of Enrolment on the ACU website
