Academic Advice

The first step to enrolling in your new program is to seek academic advice in order to discuss the courses you will be studying. This is done by making an appointment to meet the program convenor Dr Ross Tapsell. Appointments will be held during the week of 10-15 February 2014.

Your academic advice session is a great opportunity to discuss the direction in which you want your studies to go.  At this session, you will be able to get advice about course selection and content of courses that you will undertake as part of your program. Ideally you should bring along a copy of your academic record/academic transcripts as these will greatly assist when giving you course advice.

Further enrolment information can also be found in the program requirements section of the Programs and Courses website.
