Do we need a 'Proposed Program of Study' form? (1 Viewer)

[Marundanation]

Maybe this is just an outdated thing because when I enrolled they never mentioned this to me.

This is mentioned between Steps 3 and 4 of this forum post

3. While you can pick all of your units and class times on the day, it’s much easier if you do this now: Firstly, to pick your units you need to look up your degree requirements in the handbook, find your degree in the lists in this link http://www.handbook.mq.edu.au/2013/DegreesDiplomas/UGDegrees

Most first year students will take all 100 level units in their first year. This is because most, by nature of being first year students, don't meet the prerequisites required to do higher level units. However (and this important) you may take any unit you want, so long as you meet the pre-requisites for that unit and it fits within your degree requirements. Some students are able to take 200 level units from their first semester as they meet the prerequisite 'admission to .... (degree)'. Some will be able to take 200 level units in their second semester, having completed the prerequisites for these units in their first semester. The main thing here is to pay attention to your degree requirements and prerequisites of units you plan to take.

A normal workload is 4 units a semester, however there is nothing wrong with doing less than this (though at least 3 units per semester are required to be considered a full time student). So what you want to do is pick out 8 (or less) units that you meet the prerequisites of; 4 (or less) that run in semester 1 and 4 (or less) that run in semester 2. You can see if a unit runs in semester 1 or semester 2 by clicking on the unit code and looking at 'When offered'. For example ACST101 says 'D1 - Day; Offered in Session 1, North Ryde', so it's offered in semester 1. When you have picked these, write them down on your ‘Proposed Program of Study’ form, which you will take with you to Compulsory On-Campus Enrolment to be checked over by an academic adviser. Note that ‘session 1’ and ‘session 2’ simply refer to semesters 1 and 2. You can find the form here:http://www.student.mq.edu.au/enrol/new/advice/pdf/Proposed Program Form.pdf

^See what is highlighted in red.

I enrolled online and it never mentioned something like this and it never said something was compulsory. In fact it says attending enrolment sessions are NON-COMPULSORY. But I still go to these sessions anyway. But we need to give them something to sign??
