Course regulations
All courses offered by the Faculty are governed by a University Regulation that specifies the entrance and other requirements of the course.
Each course also has its own rules of progression and most schools produce specific procedures that operate under the authority of the University Regulations and Faculty guidelines.
A student in a full-time professional course may be required to pass all subjects of a specified year level before proceeding to subjects at the next year level, or achieve such a standard as to be awarded a pass in the year as a whole. A conceded pass in a subject, which is not a prerequisite for studies in the following year, will normally entitle a student to proceed to the next year, if all other subjects are passed. A conceded pass is not awarded for a subject which is a prerequisite subject for a subject which must be taken later in the course.
It is Faculty policy that where a professional placement subject has a prerequisite subject, the prerequisite subject must be passed within the previous three years.
The Faculty applies the University academic progress rules along with a time limit rule where a student must complete the course in a specified period of time equivalent to twice the full-time length of the course plus one year. This time limit includes any intermissions.
