It's your responsibility as a student to understand the rules and requirements that apply to you so that you can successfully complete your course and go on to graduate.
Your handbook is the starting point when planning your course and making decisions. It explains the requirements of your course, the units you’ll study, credit points and more.
You'll need to follow the handbook from the year you started, as course requirements can change over time.
Refer back to your handbook regularly throughout your studies, especially when selecting units during each enrolment period.
Course resolutions contain detailed rules impacting your degree. This can include weighted average mark, applying for credit, entry into honours, overseas study and more.
Faculty resolutions are similar to course resolutions, however they contain rules that apply to all students in your faculty, not just in your course. You'll find the resolutions of your faculty or school in the University's list of policies for coursework study.
Unit of study (or unit) outlines help you understand:
Outlines also list the rules you'll need to meet to be able to enrol in the unit. Read the unit outline before enrolling so you know what's required.
Check to see when a unit is running, as it can vary each year. You can do this on the unit of study page – search for a unit to see the unit outline, and check under 'Unit availability'.
In addition to the information in your handbook, you should be familiar with the University by-laws, rules, policies and resolutions applicable to your circumstances. You can find a list of these in your handbook.
