Diploma of Arts
Students may, upon the comletion of 8 courses (48 units of credit), exit the program with a Diploma of Arts.  4 of the 8 courses (or 24 units of credit) must come from the plans of the BA.  The other 4 courses can be electives chosen from any other program at CQUniversity.  Students must satisfy the normal prerequisites that apply to their courses.  There is no entry to this program: that is, only students enrolled in the Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Arts/Bachelor of Business may formally apply to graduate with a Diploma of Arts.

Transition arrangements

Students who enrolled in the Bachelor of Arts program prior to 2010 have the option of graduating under their original structure (i.e. the structure in place in the year they enrolled), provided they complete their program by term 3, 2012. They may wish to complete the program under the new structure. The Executive Dean has the authority to approve any changes necessary to ensure that students who may be adversely affected by changes to the BA are able to complete their plans or programs. Please consult with the Program Advisor in the first instance with any concerns.

Application for credit transfer
Credit transfer will only be granted where a student is able to demonstrate that tertiary studies equivalent in content and depth to a Bachelor of Arts/Bachelor of Business (Specialisation) program have been completed. Students should examine the course synopses in this handbook to determine the courses from which they may be eligible to claim exemption. Refer to Credit for Previous Studies in the Admission and Enrolment section of the Handbook, regarding the guidelines and requirements in applying for credit transfer.

Study schedule

A recommended study schedule for this program can be obtained from your Program Advisor. Students may determine their own schedule based upon credit transfers and personal study requirements. It is important to note that full-time students usually enrol in 4 courses per term and part-time students usually enrol in 2 courses per term.
