A student is regarded as part-time if, as a first-year student, fewer than six subjects are being attempted or, as a later-year student, subjects to a value of less than thirty-six points are being attempted.
Once a student has been admitted, the faculty does not normally prescribe whether the student shall be full-time or part-time, but students who are unable to attend full-time are advised to plan their courses as far as possible from the outset. They will find it an advantage if they can become full-time students for at least one year of their course.
Most part-time students are able to take time off from their employment to attend some day-time classes and are not unduly restricted in their choice of subjects. Although lectures may be held in the daytime hours, in most subjects tutorials are arranged at all times to suit small groups of students.
Students should note that Austudy is not available to students who are not studying on a full-time basis. The Austudy definition of a full-time enrolment, at time of writing, is 0.375 EFTSU (eighteen credit points) per semester.
Students should be prepared to spend time researching and reading in the library as not all library material is available to be borrowed for home reading.
