1999 Arts Handbook

Semesters

Teaching is normally conducted over two semesters each year, the first running from March to June and the second from July to October. At the end of each semester a formal examination period is conducted and students receive final results for all subjects undertaken in the preceding semester. Most subjects taught by the Faculty of Arts are one semester long, and a full-time student normally enrols in subjects to the value of twenty-four points in each semester. Approval to study more than the normal credit load in a semester must be approved by the coordinator for undergraduate studies. Attention should be paid to the semester in which each subject is offered when planning enrolment. A few departments may choose to offer subjects for the degree during the summer semester (semester three) (December to February) and students should contact individual departments for details.
Students wishing to undertake studies via distance education are directed to the Gippsland section of this handbook.
