Sub-faculty information


Structure and organisation of the subfaculty

The School of Health Sciences, Gippsland campus, Caroline Chisholm School of Nursing, Peninsula campus, and the Centre for Graduate Studies in Clinical Nursing comprise the Subfaculty of Nursing within the Faculty of Medicine. The Subfaculty of Nursing office is located at 18 Beddoe Avenue, along the western border of the university's Clayton campus.

Subfaculty board

There is a subfaculty board which reports to the board of the Faculty of Medicine. The board membership includes student representation. School boards exist for the direction and facilitation of local administrative functions for each school, but are subject to policy and other decisions of the subfaculty board.

Standing committees

The Subfaculty of Nursing has established five standing committees which report to the subfaculty board: Research Promotion Committee; Quality Assurance Committee; Ethics Committee; Undergraduate Matters Committee; and Postgraduate Matters Committee. The terms of reference for these committees are available from the Subfaculty of Nursing office on Clayton campus.

Computing facilities

Computer facilities are available at each school. These computer laboratories are available to internal students during the hours of 8.30 am and 5.30 pm (with some after hours access available), providing there is not a session in progress.

Timetables

At Peninsula campus and the Centre for Graduate Studies in Clinical Nursing, timetables may be obtained at the time of pre-enrolment or re-enrolment. At Gippsland campus timetables are available at the beginning of each semester.

Sources of advice

Throughout their university course, students have recourse to various sources of advice and help when they encounter difficulties. Their lecturers or course coordinators are available to consult about academic problems in courses in which they are studying. In addition, the school administrative officers may be consulted on changes of course, or any matters relevant to the student's progress during the course. Students may be referred to one or other of the student services such as counselling, health or housing at the relevant campus or the Course and Careers Centre at Clayton and Peninsula campuses.
