Information for students
We encourage you to visit the Student Centre website, where you will find downloadable information and forms, such as: the procedures for requesting a copy of your academic record (transcripts), the Universities policies regarding advanced standing, plagiarism, special consideration and special extension of time. The sidebar for this site also contains a plethora of materials relevant to your situation - such as HECS-HELP, timetables and textbooks.

Special note: About partial credit -
Applications for partial credit must be made in writing to the Head of School within fourteen days of the commencement of lectures in the semester in which the unit is being attempted. Most requests for partial credit can be made by completing Partial Credit - Form A (for non-integrated units). For those students requesting partial credit for integrated units, please use Partial Credit - Form B.
Partial credit can be sought on two grounds:
1. Work completed at a better than pass level at a previous attempt at that unit in this School.
2. Work completed at a very satisfactory level in another academic unit which has not been counted towards an award of the University or a relevant activity external to the University.
Partial credit is not automatically granted.
The Professional Experience Office (Practicum)
As you progress within the School of Education, you will also be required to undertake periods of professional experience (practicum). The staff of the Professional Experience Office will be your contacts as you navigate this aspect of your studies.
