Starting your course


Distance education students whose enrolment has been finalised may expect their first package of information to arrive in late January or early February. They will be sent a publication called 'Distance education general information', a weekend school timetable for first semester, study materials and network lists.

Distance education general information

This publication includes information about most areas of importance to distance education students.

Weekend school timetable for first semester

The timetable provides details of weekend school classes for first semester (a further timetable for second semester is normally issued in late June). Not all units have weekend school classes.

Study materials

Some or all of your study materials for the first semester will be sent in late January or early February. These materials detail the text requirements, how to contact your unit adviser, assignment deadlines etc. Later mailings spaced about two weeks apart may include extra resource material for the semester's work.

Network lists

A list of fellow students who have given their consent (on the application for admission form) for their name, telephone number, postcode and email address (if applicable) to be given to other students will be sent to you with the material for each enrolled unit.
