General Education Regulations And Schedules
General Education Regulations
1 Students required to include General Education in their programme must pass courses as specified in the General Education Regulations and Schedules for their programme.
2 a A student will not meet the General Education requirement for their programme if they complete a General Education course with the same subject code as any non-General Education course they have previously passed, or are already enrolled in.
b A student will not meet the General Education requirement for their programme if they subsequently enrol in and pass a course with the same subject code as a General Education course which has been passed for their programme, unless the subsequent course is either another General Education course or is assigned to a different programme. Where appropriate the student may be able to use previously completed General Education course(s) to meet another degree requirement. This regulation does not apply to the following courses:
(i) LAW 121G, 131, and 141 provided no other courses from Parts II-IV of the LLB were completed.
(ii) EDUC 100G for students enrolled in the BEd(Tchg).
c A student who transfers programmes can meet the General Education requirement of their new programme using a course in a subject in which they have passed more than one course if the only courses in that subject credited or reassigned to their new programme are General Education courses.
d ANTHRO 106G does not meet the General Education requirement for the Bachelor of Music or Bachelor of Music conjoints.
e DISABLTY 113G does not meet the General Education requirement for the Bachelor of Human Services or the Bachelor of Social Work.
3 Language courses do not satisfy the General Education requirement for a student who has prior knowledge of the language (for example, as a native speaker, through formal or informal study, or through living with others who speak the language). A student with prior knowledge of the language may be declined enrolment or the enrolment may be deleted at the discretion of the Academic Head or nominee.
4 a A student who is required to meet the Academic English Language Requirement through the completion of an approved academic English Language course, as specified in the Enrolment and Programme Regulations, Academic English Language Requirement, of the University Calendar, may substitute one of ACADENG 100, 101, 104, ENGWRIT 101 for 15 points of General Education.
b In exceptional circumstances approval may be given by the relevant Associate Dean Academic for a student who has already met the Academic English Language Requirement to substitute one of ACADENG 100, 101, 104, ENGWRIT 101 for 15 points of General Education.
Notes:
(i) Some courses available for General Education are also available as part of regular degree requirements. The content and assessment for both occurrences of the course are the same. A student must enrol in the General Education offering of a course in order to meet the General Education requirements of their programme.
(ii) Some General Education courses have limits on the number of students who can enrol. Places in these courses will be allocated on a first-come-first-served basis.
