Notes

  • 1. Students are required to complete the diploma within 2 years to transfer into an undergraduate degree, subject to competitive entry. Students who do not transfer into an undergraduate degree within this time will be required to apply via SATAC.

    2. Commencing students may have their enrolments withdrawn if they fail to engage with their studies.

    3. This program requires weekly participation in all enrolled courses. Student engagement is monitored, with a lack of participation or contact with student support services and/or the Program Director resulting in students being unenrolled from courses they have not engaged with. This action will occur in week 3, prior to census, to ensure students' future program performance (cumulative GPA) is protected.

    4. Electives are to be selected aligning with the discipline area students wish to pursue in their bachelor degree. It is important to note that some electives may have prerequisite requirements.
