Prior to the start of each term of study, a Residential School will be conducted on the Rockhampton campus with compulsory attendance expected at all sessions for students enrolled in this program in the distance education mode.  The focus of each Residential School is dependent upon the courses on offer within that term.  Each Residential School will provide students with the relevant tools to succeed within their term of study including assessment requirements and engagement in group activities to support their learning journey. 

The focus for the second Residential School each year is on the preparation of students for their Embedded Professional Learning with a focus on such aspects as ethical practices, Duty of Care, and addressing the Professional Standards in their practicum courses. 

Failure to attend the Residential School may result in a grade of Fail for each course enrolled.

The dates for the Residential Schools are published in the CQUniversity handbook.  It is the responsibility of each student to:-

• ensure they are in attendance at each Residential School;
• organise their own transport to and from Rockhampton for the Residential School;
• organise their own accommodation in Rockhampton for the duration of the Residential School.
