If you are enrolled in external courses please check the timetable carefully as you may need to attend compulsory workshops on-campus for some of your courses. These are usually held one week before the commencement of the academic term. During the workshops you will complete preliminary assignment reading and activities.
You should make sure you have a firm understanding with your employer that you will need time off to attend the relevant on-campus schools. Failure to attend may result in you failing the year. If circumstances such as illness or misadventure prevent you from attending, the reasons must be adequately documented and sent to the Course Convenor.
