Attendance requirements range from attendance not being required, to being optional or to being compulsory. Specific details are contained in the course and subject descriptions in this book.
A number of courses require no on-campus attendance by students and do not even offer classes for optional attendance.
Many of the Gippsland-based courses/subjects offer classes at weekend schools (three times per semester). A number of courses/subjects based at other campuses also conduct weekend and residential schools. Attendance at all or any of these classes is encouraged. The classes are organised to provide distance education students with the opportunity for interaction with both lecturers and fellow students, and to provide access to study facilities such as libraries and computer laboratories. Students unable to attend these optional classes will not be disadvantaged and, in some cases, are provided with an audio tape of the class.
Compulsory attendance is required primarily for courses which are laboratory-based or require group interaction. These courses include but are not restricted to studies in biology, chemistry and physics (from second year), engineering, visual arts studio subjects, psychology, social welfare and social work.
