Check the details

All courses in this program are offered in distance (external) mode. Students of this program will be required to attend the CQUniversity Rockhampton campus for compulsory residential schools in some courses. Students are advised to check course details to determine whether a course has a residential component prior to enrolling.

Recommended study schedule
A recommended study schedule for this program can be obtained from the Faculty. Students may determine their own schedule based upon credit transfers and personal study requirements.

This course is only offered to students in external part-time mode. The usual progression rate for a part-time student is 2 courses per term. Students wishing to study in excess of 2 courses per term must apply in writing to the Program Coordinator.

Articulation and credit transfer
The program allows the recognition of students' appropriate previous study and experience gained from working in industry, through 'Recognition of Prior Learning' (RPL) and 'Recognition of Current Competencies' (RCC). Students will be assessed for exemption on a case-by-case basis and will be required to nominate courses they wish to be considered for exemption from. Grounds for that exemption, through their demonstration of prior achievement of a significant component of the CQUniversity courses learning outcomes, must be documented. Students may only gain credit transfer for up to 50% of the overall program, on a units of credit basis.
 
Rules for progression in the program
This program is criterion-referenced. As such, progress is conditional upon students having acquired specified skills and knowledge in previous courses of study. Students failing a course twice will be required to demonstrate to their Program Advisor why their third attempt is likely to be successfully before they enrol again.
 
Computing requirements
It is a requirement of enrolment in this program that all students have access to the CQUniversity website via the Internet. All courses in this program will be delivered via an online course accessed through the CQUniversity Blackboard portal http://e-courses.cqu.edu.au/.
