Details on ºÚÁÏÍø´óÊÂ¼Ç Academic Policies are available atÌý

We encourage you to regularly check yourÌýÌý²¹²Ô»åÌýÌýto ensure you areÌýfamiliar with the latest ºÚÁÏÍø´óÊÂ¼Ç student guidelines and policies.

  • The ºÚÁÏÍø´óÊÂ¼Ç Policy on Class Attendance and Absence can be viewedÌý.ÌýÌý

    From time to time, the Course Authority may vary the attendance requirements for a course. It is the students’ responsibility to ensure that they are familiar with the specific attendance requirements stipulated in the course outline for each course in which they are enrolled.

    Students are expected to be regular and punctual in attendance at all classes in the courses in which they're enrolled. Where courses stipulate mandatory attendance requirements, students who seek to be excused from attendance [or for absence] must apply to the Course Authority in writing.

    Explanations of absences from classes or requests for permission to be absent from forthcoming classes should be addressed to the Course Authority in writing and, where applicable, should be accompanied by appropriate documentation, for example, a medical certificate. After submitting appropriate supporting documentation to the Course Authority to explain his/her absence, a student may be required to undertake supplementary class(s) or task(s) as prescribed by the Course Authority. If examinations or other forms of assessment have been missed, then the student should apply forÌý.

    School of Art & Design Attendance Requirements

    The School has a minimum attendance requirement of 80% for all tutorials, seminars, studios, and workshops. Failure to meet the minimum attendance requirement will result in an Unsatisfactory Fail (UF) for the course, regardless of performance in assessment tasks or other requirements for the course

    Course Information

  • The Arts, Design & Architecture Dean's List (A0010I) recognises the outstanding achievements of its students.

    Eligibility

    The Award is available to students enrolled in ºÚÁÏÍø´óÊÂ¼Ç Arts, Design & Architecture (ADA) coursework programs who have:

    1. Successfully completed a minimum of 36 UOC (Undergraduate) or 24 UOC (Postgraduate) at ºÚÁÏÍø´óÊÂ¼Ç within a single academic year (Summer, T1, T2 and T3); and
    2. Successfully completed a minimum of 12 UOC of ºÚÁÏÍø´óÊÂ¼Ç Arts, Design & Architecture courses; and
    3. Achieved an overall minimum Weighted Average Mark (WAM) of 80 for all courses completed and attempted that year.

    Selection

    SelectionÌýis based on a student's overall Weighted Average Mark (WAM) and Units of Credit (UOC) successfully completed at ºÚÁÏÍø´óÊÂ¼Ç within a single academic year (Summer, T1, T2 and T3).

    Students enrolled in ADA Undergraduate coursework programs need to have successfully completed a minimum of 36 UOC at ºÚÁÏÍø´óÊÂ¼Ç within a single academic year to be eligible for the Dean’s List.

    Students enrolled in ADA Postgraduate coursework programs need to have successfully completed a minimum of 24 UOC at ºÚÁÏÍø´óÊÂ¼Ç within a single academic year to be eligible for the Dean’s List.

    Students also need to have successfully completed a minimum of 12 UOC of ADA courses.Ìý

    A minimum overallÌýºÚÁÏÍø´óʼÇÌýWAM of 80 is required to be eligible for the Dean's List. The WAM is calculated on all ºÚÁÏÍø´óÊÂ¼Ç courses completed and attempted.

    Students do not need to apply for the Dean's List. The selection process is administered by ADA and all eligible students are automatically considered.Ìý

    Students enrolled in stand alone one-year Honours programs (e.g. 4504, etc.) are not eligible for the Dean’s List.

    Students who have transferred out of an ADA coursework program are not eligible for the Dean’s List.

    Late grades may affect a student’s eligibility for inclusion on the Dean’s List.

    Enrolment Continuing (EC) grades will only be included in the Dean’s List calculations when all muti-term courses are completed.

    Exchange courses and transfer credit for courses completed at another institution are not counted as completed units of credit for the Dean's List calculations.

    Students can be enrolled in either a single degree owned by ADA or a dual degree owned by ADA or a dual degree where ADA is the split owner.

    Acknowledgment of Students on Dean’s List

    Students will receive an e-certificate to acknowledge their achievement. All student recipients will be listed on the website.

    The Dean’s List Award will be listed on the student’s official academic transcript and Australian Higher Education Graduation Statement (AHEGS) which students will receive on graduation through .

  • The facultyÌýallows permissible timetable clashes only in certain circumstances:

    • The timetable clash can only be between lectures or between a lecture and a tutorial or seminar. Only the lecture can be missed.

    • Where the clash is between two lectures the course convenor will determine whether full waiver of attendance or partial attendance is permitted.

    • Timetable clashes aren't available to students in their first term of study at university.

    • You take full responsibility for the timetable clash and ensure that you meet the course learning outcomes.

    • All timetable clash requests must be submitted using theÌý.

    If your permissible timetable clash request isÌýapproved, you must fulfil the following requirements:Ìý

    • You must attend the clashed lecture on a specific date if that lecture contains an assessment task for the course such as a quiz or test. If you miss the said lecture there is no obligation on the Course Convenor to schedule a make-up quiz or test and you can receive zero for the assessment task. It should be noted that in many courses a failure to complete an assessment task can be grounds for course failure.
