Placement Guidelines
Students will be enrolled into courses in order of receipt of application. As some classes fill up very quickly, it is in a student’s best interests to submit the Online Application Form as soon as possible.
IMPORTANT: Students from other Faculties who wish to undertake language courses to fulfil elective or general education requirements should ensure that these courses count towards the requirements of their degree programs with the relevant Program Authority.
If you feel that your starting course is not appropriate for your language level once the semester has started, please contact the course convenor to discuss the feasibility of changing to an upper/lower course. Any changes to enrolment must be approved by the Discipline Advisor and finalised by Friday, 1 August 2008.
