Information for Current Students

Below are some useful links for current students

Transfer Credit / Status

Students may apply for transfer credit on account of studies completed at tertiary level elsewhere. Students who believe they are eligible for transfer credit should bring a copy of their academic transcript to enrolment or to the Faculty Office after enrolment.

Status is not normally awarded for studies completed more than ten years previously. Where the Faculty deems status is appropriate it will be limited to 12 units at Level I and 8 units at Level II, not forming part of the major.

International Exchanges

The University of Adelaide has established exchange agreements with more than 40 universities around the world, which allow students to study one to two semesters of the University of Adelaide program at another university. Exchange program selection is based on academic merit, references and an interview. Students are required to make their own travel and accommodation arrangements. Exchange students are not liable for overseas tuition fees, but incur the normal HECS liability for the workload undertaken overseas.

Further information is available from the Student Centre, and from the Study Abroad/Exchange web site.

Graduation

Students can use the Program Structures to see if they are eligible to graduate. Students who expect to complete the requirements of their program during the course of the year should log on to Access Adelaide and submit an application to graduate. Graduation ceremonies are held offshore in April/May, and in Adelaide in August and December each year.

Further information is available from the Graduations Office website.

Occupational Health and Safety

More information on Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) is to come.

Disability Liaison

In keeping with the aims of the Disability Discrimination Act and the University's policy regarding Students with Disabilities, the University of Adelaide provides a range of services to students with an ongoing medical issue or disability. This may include adjustments to the standard teaching or assessment processes. For more information, please visit Learning and Disability Access.

Unsatisfactory Academic Progress

In 2008, the University will conduct a review of Unsatisfactory Academic Progress. Following this review, some students may receive a letter from the University deeming them at risk of unsatisfactory academic progress.

Depending on which program you are enrolled in, you should visit the following office if you receive a letter:

For Music programs, please contact the Elder Conservatorium of Music school office (Hartley building P: 08 8303 5995).
For Wilto Yerlo programs, information can be found here
For all other Humanities and Social Sciences programs please contact the Faculty Office to speak to one of our friendly student advisors. We will be able to provide sound suggestions to assist you in improving your performance. The Faculty Office is open from 11am to 4:15pm Monday to Friday and is located on Ground Floor of the Napier Building. Alternatively you can phone us on: 08 8303 5245.

More information about the Unsatisfactory Academic Progress by Coursework Students Policy can be found here.

Some students may have already been contacted as part of the Faculty's Review of Academic Progress policy. Students already under review of academic progress are still bound by the Faculty rules for 2008. For further information about the Faculty policy, please consult the following documents:
