Subject quotas
Quotas are imposed on some second and third year subjects. These include media studies and drama subjects. For details, see the specific subject descriptions at www.latrobe.edu.au/udb_public.
Students allocated a place in a quota-controlled subject must confirm their acceptance of the place by attending class in the first week, or by contacting the subject coordinator before the end of the first week. Otherwise, the place may be made available to a student on the waiting list.
Completion of a subject
Completion of a subject requires satisfactory performance at such examinations, as are set, attendance at such lectures, tutorials and other classes as are required and satisfactory completion of any exercises and work required.
A student who has not complied with the requirements for a subject may be refused admission to the annual examination in that subject.
Availability of subject
Schools may decide not to offer listed first-, second- or third year subjects if insufficient students choose to enrol.
All subjects are offered subject to the availability of appropriate staffing and resources and students should consult the advisers of studies in the relevant disciplines.
Prerequisites
A student may not enrol for any subject without having completed the prerequisites for that subject, except with the permission of the coordinator for that subject.
Subjects that may be taken at either second or third year level
Where a subject is listed at both second- and third year levels, students may enrol either at second year level (e.g., ARH2MIM) or at third year level (e.g., ARH3MIM) but not at both levels.
