Students enrolled in the BESS course having a residential school requirement must complete the residential school within 18 months of commencing the course. After this time the result will automatically be changed to AF (Absent Fail).

Credit transfer will only be granted where a student is able to demonstrate that tertiary studies, equivalent in content and depth to the CQUniversity program, have been successfully completed. Students should examine the course synopses in this handbook to determine the courses for which they may be eligible to claim exemption. For more information about credit transfers contact the Program Advisor.
