The following statements apply to all entries in this section of the handbook.
The normal procedure for enrolment and re-enrolment is for students to select, in accordance with the regulations, the subjects they wish to study in each year of their studies. It is not necessary to select subjects for the full duration of the course on admission.
Decisions made in choosing first-year subjects are important because they lay the foundations for the course as a whole. As a result, officers of the school are available to advise students on their choice of subjects at the time of enrolment. This advice, however, will be most helpful if students have already made themselves familiar with all the subjects and considered what their fields of interest are likely to be. Similarly, when re-enrolling in later years of the course, students should discuss their choice of subjects with the course advisers.
It is the student's responsibility to ensure that the subjects selected will meet the degree regulations.
Students should be aware that quotas may be placed on some subjects. Such quotas do not affect students who submit a timely re-enrolment form, but may affect those submitting late forms or making late changes to their enrolment.
Applicants for on-campus study should apply through the Victorian Tertiary Admissions Centre (VTAC). Application instructions are contained in an information booklet published each year by VTAC and distributed to all secondary schools in the State. Those who do not have access to the booklet should obtain one from the executive officer of VTAC, 40 Park Street, South Melbourne, 3205. Applicants who do not possess tertiary entrance requirements are required to complete the Special Tertiary Admissions Test (STAT).
