Class Rules

Attendance

It is recommended that students attend all scheduled classes in order to succeed in the unit. Students are required to attend at least 80% of all classes as one of the mandatory requirements to pass the subject, in addition to the other assessment and academic requirements outlined in the Learning Guide.

Arriving late by 15 minutes in the beginning, arriving late by 5 minutes after the break, or leaving prior to the scheduled end time without permission from the lecturers will equate to an absence. Grade reductions for the unit will be assessed when final grades are assigned if the above absence rule is violated during the unit.

If students do not meet the minimum attendance requirement, students will receive a Fail grade for attendance. Consequently, they will not be eligible to sit the final examination (if the subject includes a final examination), and this may result in an extension of their expected graduation timeline.

For further reference, please note that failure to meet attendance and academic requirements may affect your academic progression, in accordance with the Progression Policy.

Electronic device 

Cell phones or other electronic devices should be turned off or switched to vibrate mode before class starts. No phone calls or text messaging are allowed inside classroom during class time. Portable listening and/or music devices may not be operated in the classroom. Headphones and/or earbuds of any type may not be worn while in the classroom whether operating or not. Laptop and other electronic devices are not permitted unless specifically authorised by the lecturer exclusively for note-taking and doing classwork. If you are in violation of these policies, you will be excused from class and an absence will be assessed.
