Workload

Students should be aware of the impact that their enrolment may have on such issues as their fees, visas, scholarships, student contributions and youth allowances.

The Student Workload Policy establishes the number of points deemed to be a full-time enrolment (at least 37.5 points, but usually 50 points in a semester), or part time enrolment (less than 37.5 points in a semester). It also define that overloading is exceeding the standard fulltime enrolment by at least 12.5 points i.e. enrolling in more than 62.5 points in a semester.

The Over-enrolment Policy establishes the maximum enrolment limit as the minimum points required to complete a course, and over-enrolment as exceeding the minimum course point requirement. Over-enrolment is only permitted in limited cases as defined in the policy.
