CONTENTS

DEFINITIONSUnless the context suggests otherwise—

a core unit means a unit which is compulsory in a course;

an option means a unit chosen from among a range of given options;

an elective means a unit which a student may choose freely from among the units available in the University, subject to the rules of the unit concerned and to any Faculty rules which govern the number of points that must or may be counted towards the degree from units of a specific level;

the level of a unit indicates the amount of prior knowledge or maturity of learning required to study it successfully;

foundation units are a subset of Level 1 units which a student must complete in their first academic year;

the Faculty includes a body or person to whom the Faculty has delegated responsibility for a particular function;

units chosen with the special approval of the Faculty means that a student is required to submit a Special Approval form (available from the Student Administration web site http://www.studentadmin.uwa.edu.au/page/8581 or the Faculty Office) to the Faculty.

6.1 GENERAL

Prerequisites6.1.1(1) Prerequisites for units are set out under Details of Units in the Units Handbook.

(2) Unless the Faculty approves otherwise, students are not permitted to enrol in units unless they have completed the necessary prerequisite unit(s) within the previous four years.

[Approved addition to University General Rule 1.2.1.3(2)]

Time Limits6.1.2 Where a student is granted credit towards a degree by virtue of previous study in another incomplete degree course in this or another recognised institution or by virtue of units passed through Continuing Education, the Faculty may reduce the period allowed under University General Rule 1.2.1.33(1) to take account of the credit granted, and must specify the period allowed in writing to the student at the time of enrolment or as soon as possible thereafter.
