Dear Students,
Welcome to week 4 of the semester and this is decision time and planning time, please see the below for your consideration across the week.
Census Date August 24th
- Census date is August 24th this is the date when you finalize your enrolment.
- You are able to withdraw or drop subjects up until Census date without penalty and you can manage this via the student portal by dropping a subject.
- If you withdraw or drop a subject after Census date you will have to pay fees, if you have a FEE-HELP loan you will incur a debt.
Plan your studies.
It is important to manage your study load at this time and consider how to balance or counterbalance the current commitments in your life,
- subject outlines - guide you to the assessment load and learning outcomes for a semester
- email courseprogression@endeavour.edu.au or book an appointment with a student services advisor under my courses tab student consultations if you would like advise.
- access the website to help plan your study course outlines, subject outlines
- think about co-requisites and online calendars and online subjects for 2018.
- log into the student portal under the manage timetable link
Now is the time to start to get serious with your study and to become best friends with your textbooks, the library and your study planner, set a study plan and stick to it.
- Find a study buddy – swap study notes/ test each other etc.
- Join group tutorials on Campus - these will be advertised on local student notice boards.
- Book tutorials with the local Academic team, take in a list of your questions and seek support on the topics that are challenging
