For commencing students


Introductory short courses

The university's Computer Centre offers short introductory courses in computing throughout the year for a modest fee. These courses provide a suitable opportunity for students who have had no experience with computing to prepare themselves for first-year computing courses and to help them decide whether computing is a field to which they are likely to be suited. It introduces the basic operations of a personal computer, MS-DOS, Word for Windows word processing, Excel spreadsheet use, email and the student network environment at the university. The courses are recommended for all students commencing computing studies with the exception of those already proficient in the use of personal computers. The Pearcey Centre, telephone (03) 9903 2489 at the Caulfield campus offers suitable courses which generally cover material to a greater depth.
