Learning material packages
Dispatch of Learning Material
Learning material for 1st semester is progressively sent to external students from the second week of January, and for 2nd semester from the second week of June.
The learning material is sent by unit, so you may receive your material for different units at different times. You can check the status of your learning material packages and a list of the items they will contain through the student portal, myUNE, accessible from the UNE home page. Click on the mystudy tab and select the Materials Dispatch icon next to the unit on the right hand side of the page.
Accessing materials on UNEonline
UNEOnline is UNE's online teaching system. Most units have an online site that may include features such as, a discussion forum, podcasts and electronic downloads of course materials. Some units provide all learning materials online, while others use a combination of online, CD or print. You should check the online site regularly for new materials and messages.
Some units will have some or all of their material online through UNEonline. UNEonline units may also include discussion boards and assignment drop boxes. These can be accessed from the myStudy page by clicking on the icon in the column titled UNEonline. These do not usually become available to access until the first day of teaching for the semester.
Accessing materials via myUNE
The learning materials for some units are available for download from myUNE. These are generally electronic copies of materials that are provided on CD or print. If your unit has this available there will be a Unit Materials column on the myStudy tab in myUNE. A CD icon in this column indicates learning materials are available. Click on the CD icon to access the materials.
Printed copies of electronic resources
Alternative formats of learning materials will not usually be provided unless you have grounds for an exemption. Exemption may be granted in the following circumstances:
- A medical condition which prevents the use of a computer,
- Remote location, or;
- Residence in a correctional facility.
