which, for new students, can be found on the top of your first statement
of accounts.

| Guidelines for Using
OASIS - Use OASIS for All Classes As Shown
Below |
VISUAL ARTS STUDENTS
Art & Visual Culture
You are required to select one tutorial time.
Theory & Methodologies in Studio Practice (Major)
As this is your major unit, what discipline area you choose
under Theory & Methodologies will also be the discipline
area you must choose for Visual Arts Media Workshop. Make your
selection in Theory & Methodologies in Studio Practice first
then for your Visual Arts Media Workshop unit.
Visual Arts Media Workshop (Major)
If you are enrolled as a full-time student, ensure you select
the same discipline area as you did for Theory & Methodologies
in Studio Practice. If you are enrolled part-time and not taking
Theory & Methodologies in Studio Practice then just make
your selection of your discipline area under Visual Arts Media
Workshop.
Comparative Studies in Visual Media (Elective)
Make one discipline area selection different to your major discipline.
Ensure you check the timetable thoroughly to ensure you do not
have any clashes with your Art & Visual Culture lecture/tutes,
Theory & Methodologies and Visual Arts Media Workshop.
GRAPHIC DESIGN STUDENTS
Art & Visual Culture
You are required to select one tutorial time.
Visual Arts Media Workshop
Make one discipline area selection from preferably either Photography,
Multimedia or Illustration. Ensure you check the timetable thoroughly
to ensure you do not have any clashes with your Art & Visual
Culture lecture/tutes, Applied Design and Design Studies units.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION BEFORE ENTERING OASIS
You Must Have a Confirmed Enrolment Before Using OASIS
The database used by OASIS is provided by Student Administration,
and only contains details of students who have correctly enrolled.
Be Careful When Entering Data
Make sure that you know exactly what units that you are
enrolled in before using the system - otherwise your name may appear
on class lists for units you are not undertaking.
Avoid Overloading Any One Day
As a general rule, unless there are exceptional circumstances,
you should not have more than four hours of lectures/tutorials without
a break and undertake no more than 5 hours of classes per day.
You Need to Enter Classes Individually
It is not possible to select two or more classes at the
same time on the one screen.
You Will Have to Compromise
We all like to get exactly what we want, and whilst most
students will get most of what they want, please don't expect perfection.
For instance, there are classes timetabled on every day of the week and
some of these are held 'after hours'. Moreover, "taking Friday off
to go home" may not be either possible or desirable.
What If I Have Problems?
Firstly ensure that you have carried out all the instructions
properly. If you haven't done so, then rectify this. If you still experience
difficulties, contact Jennifer Uren, Course Administrator, Office 2.24
in the Visual Arts Building or Sylvia Reeves, Technician, Office 2.45a
in the Graphic Design Building.
Have You Understood Everything?
Please ensure that you understand what you have read above
before proceeding further. If you have any questions or queries, please
ask!!
