Example standard statements for use under selected headings
This list of examples for standard statements is not exhaustive. They are to be used in order to create unambiguous, brief and consistent entries across the Handbook. Degree 'levels', names and values etc in the examples provided can be altered as required.
Minimum pass grade for course completion
"In order to successfully complete this course, students must achieve a minimum pass grade as follows:
- [eg: Credit in all core units and a credit average overall.]"
Minimum pass grade for articulation
"In order to progress to the [related] [honours program/masters program/PhD program etc ], students must achieve a minimum pass grade as follows:
- [eg: Distinction in all units undertaken in third year and a credit average overall.]"
Progression to further studies
"Successful completion of this course permits students to [articulate into/enter/apply for/be considered for] the [name of award ] [with credit to a maximum of [insert number] points ]."
NOTE: This field is used for articulation to a specific course rather than more general statements of progression opportunities.
Alternative exit/s
"Students wishing to exit the [name of award ] early may apply to graduate with one of the following, provided they have satisfied the requirements for that award:
- [name of award] after successful completion of [insert number ] points of study
- (repeat as necessary if there are multiple exit points)."
Professional accreditation
"Students who successfully complete this course [incorporating any relevant units as indicated], [may be eligible for admission to/are recognised for professional accreditation with ] the following organisations:
- [list of organisations ]."
Variations to study/course offering location
Use as applicable the following sorts of comments as a footnote to Study mode and location (using the 'Mode and location note' field in CUPID) where applicable:
- "Students may be required to travel to other campuses to study specific units as indicated."
- "Students may elect to study some non-core units on other campuses."
- "The [major/minor in X] is only available at [campus X ]."
- For double degrees where relevant - "All [Course component/Faculty of [X]] units are studied at [campus X]; all [Course component/Faculty of [Y]] units are studied at [campus Y ]."
- Where the administrative location or mode of offering frequently/consistently varies from the actual teaching location - eg "This course requires some off-campus clinical placements and site visits for on-campus students."; eg "Off-campus students will be required to attend some on-campus workshops."
Where a course is offered from a given campus, but a component is taught at another campus either by, eg year/specialisation/faculty etc, this should be clearly noted under the heading for the relevant year/specialisation/faculty etc, as per the example below.
EXAMPLE:
First year
(All first-year units undertaken at Clayton campus)
Second year
(All second-year education units undertaken at Peninsula campus; all science units undertaken at Clayton campus)
Education component
Science component
Part-time studies 'blanket' statement
Where degrees can be taken part-time (especially when the Course structure talks about year one, year two etc), instead of having both a full-time and part-time list of requirements, insert a generic statement in the Course structure field something along the lines of:
- "Part-time students normally study the units outlined for each full-time year over two years, however as some units may have prerequisites/corequisites or specific semester offerings, part-time students should consult with the course coordinator about their pattern of study before selecting units."
Multiple awards statement
Where a degree is a 'tagged' or 'with honours' program and thus the achievable award list has multiple entries, include the following statement in the Award/s notes - HBK field:
Statement to include for single degrees with multiple award options
Where more than one award is listed the actual award conferred may depend on units/majors/streams/specialisations studied, the level of academic merit achieved, or other factors relevant to the individual student's program of study.
Statement to include for double degrees with multiple award options for one or more of the degree components
Where more than one award is listed for one or both components of the double degree the actual award(s) conferred may depend on units/majors/streams/specialisations studied, the level of academic merit achieved, or other factors relevant to the individual student's program of study.
NOTE: This statement does not apply to single/double degree programs where there is only one achievable award for the single degree or for both components of the double degree course.
