1999 Arts Handbook - Non-award studies

Non-award studies

Applications for non-award enrolment must be made on the appropriate admission form available on request from the School of Humanities and Social Sciences. Successful applicants will not occupy a government funded course place. Applications may be made up until the commencement of the academic year (although early applications are less likely to be affected by subject subquotas). Fees will apply.
Non-award admission does not guarantee subsequent enrolment in an award course. The option is mainly exercised by applicants who wish to take advanced studies for the purpose of upgrading their existing qualifications for recognition by a professional body. In some cases, however, students may wish to apply to undertake a subject which is surplus to the requirements of the course in which they are already enrolled. The completion of two non-award subjects also provides the equivalent of minimum tertiary entrance requirements without a year twelve equivalent.
Students should note that there is no guarantee that studies done on a non-award basis will later be credited to a course of study.
