Minimum Rate of Progress
A minimum rate of progress applies to the program. Students are not permitted to enrol in a unit for the third time.
Change of Program
If you wish to alter your approved program of study, you should:
-
Note that any changes must comply with the prerequisite structure and class availability.
-
Complete a Postgraduate Coursework Change of Program (COP) form, which is available from Student Enquiry Services or can be downloaded from http://www.accg.mq.edu.au/Accg_docs/pdf/postgraduate_coursework/COP_2008.pdf
-
Return the completed form to the Program Administrator who will arrange academic approval and processing of the request.
-
Ensure that you include on the form the Trimester (that is T1, T2 or T3) for the units you are adding or discontinuing.
If you wish to add a unit you must also:
-
Submit the completed COP Form within one week of the beginning of the Trimester concerned. The addition of units after the first week of a Trimester will only be accepted in exceptional circumstances.
If you wish to withdraw from a unit you should also:
-
See "Last day for notification of discontinuance" in the "Trimester Dates" at the top of this screen. The table sets out the dates by which changes must be made to avoid financial or academic penalty. Please note that the deadlines for discontinuance of units are firm.
