Single subject enrolments
Under the conditions set out below, it is possible to study
single subjects offered by the University without enrolling in a
full degree or diploma course.
The minimum fee per semester for single subject (non-credit)
enrolments in 1995 will be at the rate per weekly contact hour
as set by the division, plus the appropriate general service fee.
The offering of places in single subjects is at the discretion of
the division concerned and can be done only after full credit
students have been accommodated. Therefore offers may be
as late as the first week of teaching.
An application form is available from the division concerned or
the Admissions Officer.

will be required to pay an additional $20.00 towards the
Student Union Capital Reserve Fund.

For all University purposes a part-time student is one enrolled
for subjects which require a total class, tutorial andlor
laboratory contact time of less than seventy-five per cent of
the full-time course load.
Students studying under the industry based learning
(cooperative) format are considered to be full-time students.

2nd and 3rd years
Graphic Design degree
3rd year
Civil, Electrical and Electronic,
Manufacturing and Mechanical

Students who do not attend for enrolment (including any
required review of second semester subjects) on the date and
at the time specified by their division or awarding school, will
be required to pay a late fee of $20.00 (where re-enrolment is
completed before the commencement of the following
semester's teaching); or $40.00 (where re-enrolment is
completed after the commencement of teaching for the
semester).
Additional fees
A part-time student who adds any subject to those for which
he or she was enrolled and thereby increases the number of
contact hours involved in his or her course to more than
seventy-five per cent of the full-time course load, will be
required to pay the difference between the part-time and the
full-time general service fee.

through the Victorian Tertiary Admissions Centre (VTAC) and
who receives a later offer from VTAC for a higher course
preference, may receive a refund of all fees paid if notice of
the withdrawal and application for the refund is lodged at the
Divisional Office prior to 31 March 1995.
No later VTAC offer
A student who withdraws and does not receive a higher
preference offer from WAC may receive a refund of fees, less
a $5.00 service charge, if notice of the withdrawal is lodged at
the Divisional Office prior to 31 March 1995 for semester one
and 31 August 1995 for semester two.

Confirmation of University
records
The University recognises that errors can be made in the
transcription of enrolment details from original copies of
enrolment forms to the computer-held files. It also realises that
such errors can cause a great deal of inconvenience to
students (and staff) if not detected.
Students are therefore asked to check the record of each
semester's enrolment.
Students who do not check the statements, or who do not by
the due date notify the Divisional Office of any errors existing
in the records will be required to pay a substantial fee for each
amendment to be made.
