Transnational academic calendars
The Commonwealth Government of Australia has conducted a review of
Australia's Higher Education system. As an outcome of this review
the Government has established a reform package including a change
in legislation. Some of these changes affect all students regardless
of location, or mode of study. From the commencement of the 2005
Academic year UniSA will adopt a new configuration of
semesters/terms. These will be known as study periods and in essence
replicate the current term and semester configuration that students
would be familiar with.
As a transnational student your program timetable will essentially
remain the same, however your enrolment will now be attached to the
appropriate study period in the academic year and subject to the
relevant key dates. As the study periods overlap it is unlikely that
you will have an enrolment in all 7 study periods.
The study period may not reflect the actual start/end dates of your
term however the important dates (for example, final day to withdraw
without notation on your transcript) will be set by the study period
that the transnational term is associated with. This may mean that
in some transnational terms you will have more time to withdraw, or
less time to withdraw in others.
Please note: These critical dates must be observed by all students
at all times, and the dates outlined below are the last day that
changes may be processed therefore you should ensure withdrawal
forms are received by UniSA prior to these dates.
There will be no change to the refund of fee policy for your program.
