Availability of subjects and courses
All of the subjects and courses listed in this Handbook are offered subject to the availability of staff. While every effort is made to provide full and accurate information, no absolute guarantee of the structure, or manner of teaching, or of availability is implied in the listing of a subject or course for this or any subsequent year.
The university reserves the right not to offer any subject for which the number of enrolments or the resources available are insufficient and it reserves the right to restrict the number of enrolments in any subject.
Students should ensure they are aware of the physical components and location requirements of some courses. If you have a disability, medical condition or any concerns that may affect your potential participation, please contact the appropriate school to discuss possible course modifications.
Students should access the Subject database, www.latrobe.edu.au/udb_public, for up-to-date information on all subjects offered.
For an explanation of teaching periods and campus codes see the General Information at the beginning of this Handbook.
Confirmation of enrolment
Enrolments must be confirmed by prescribed dates in each academic period. The procedure involves students confirming enrolment (as advised via Student-online) indicating their individual subject enrolment details and checking these details to ensure that they are correct and notifying of any required amendments.
The purpose of the procedure is to establish a firm base for students’ permanent academic records and to provide an accurate basis for the planning of mid-year and end-of-year examinations. Failure to comply with these procedures could result in an incorrect entry on student records and, in cases where a student has not been attending classes initially enrolled in, the recording of a failure in that subject.
Academic progress
Each year, after completion of the annual examinations, faculty boards review the progress of their students. Those whose academic progress is unsatisfactory may be required to ‘show cause’ why their enrolment should be permitted and they may have their re-enrolment options limited.
Honours degrees and postgraduate studies
Honours degrees and postgraduate courses are also available and are designed to provide students with greater depth in a specialised subject area and skills in research by way of preparation for higher degree studies.
