4. General Information Program Specific Information Getting Started – Week 0/1

5. Some University Terminology Program = The Degree you are study to achieve An academic staff member with oversight and management of the entire program of study Program Convenor = Course = Each individual element of the program Course Co-ordinator = The academic that is ‘in charge’ of a particular course

6. Some University Terminology Core Courses = compulsory courses completed by everyone studying the program Major = a structured sequence of courses providing specialised knowledge in a particular study area Directed = a course you choose from a Directed List within the program this is different to an Elective course Elective = any unrestricted course in the University most programs have Electives but some (e.g. combineds) do not refer to your program handbook

7. TYP Program Plan

8. Semester Study Load Full-time study = 40 Units per semester Domestic Students: Enrolled in 30 units or more per semester or enrolled in a total of 60 units or more in that academic year = Full Time for Centrelink International Students: Enrolled in 40 units per semester Part-time study = Domestic Students: 10 – 20 units per semester International Students: Should enroll full-time. Meet with a Student Advisor or visit Student Central if you want to vary your course load Every 10 unit course requires 10 hours study per week BUT this varies week to week! Lots of courses are ‘tail heavy’

9. Program Plan A Program Plan outlines the structure of your degree. It is designed to provide you with an easy to follow plan you can use to check that you are on track with your degree, and help you choose courses that will be appropriate for your program.

You need to study maths as part of your degree (Except B.Tech(RES)) MATH1110 is the expected start point You may need to sit a Maths PlacementTest (MPT). • If you completed HSC mathematics with a Band 5 or higher in the past two years you don’t need to sit the test. • For details visit ASKUON - How can I access a Math Placement Test (MPT) to check my mathematics knowledge is adequate for my program?

41. Mathematics Placement Test (MPT) • If you have NOT completed HSC mathematics with a Band 5 or higher in the past two years, and you feel that you have the right maths background for MATH1110 you can sit the MPT. You must register in advance of the MPT. Test sessions will be held on: • Thursday, 25 July – 14:00-15:00 (Room CT314) • Friday, 26 July – 12:00-13:00 (Room CT314)
