To accommodate periods of professional experience (‘prac’), which need to be arranged when schools and early childhood centres are not on holiday, the School of Education has a different timetable of teaching weeks from the rest of the university. The teaching timetable is structured around the dates set aside for on-campus students. Some online students arrange their pracs at different times. Weeks for teaching may vary depending on different units of study - check with your Unit Coordinator.
On the PREXUS mylearn site students will find further information regarding dates.
