PURPOSE
This document identifies ACN Enrolment Policy and Procedure.
SCOPE
This policy applies to all staff employed or contracted by ACN and to students enrolled at ACN.
POLICY
Every new student who is offered a place to study at ACN must be enrolled in his or her course. Enrolment commences a week prior to the commencement of the new semester. Late applicants are also required to attend an enrolment session.
Enrolment ceases on Friday Week 2 of the semester. Re-enrolment after 5.00 pm on Friday Week 2 is not permitted unless approved by the lecturer and/or Academic Director.
Re-enrolment after 5.00 pm on Friday Week 2 is not permitted unless approved by the lecturer and/or Academic Director.
Every student must be given course advice about their studies from an Academic Adviser prior to enrolment in order to determine and/or confirm an appropriate list of subjects to be studied. Information relating to the enrolment of the student is then data entered into MAZE.
The Admission Manager is responsible for the management of enrolments (both domestic and international) but will require assistance with both data entry and course advice from staff in the Academic Unit and Academic Skills Unit. All staff at ACN will be expected to assist with enrolment, regardless of their areas of expertise, albeit training will always be provided by the Academic Unit first.
Part Time Enrolment
Domestic students are permitted to enrol part-time for their studies. ACN does not specify a minimum number of subjects to be completed per semester or per year. However, students must be made aware of maximum completion times for their course (where these have been specified) and appropriate course advice should be given to ensure that students can plan to complete their studies within this time frame.
In addition, students should be advised that subject offerings do not remain static and part-time students may find that subjects are not offered in the same order and/or may not available at all times for the duration of their studies.
Enrolment and ESOS monitoring
Academic Advisers who enrol International Students must be aware of the ESOS Regulations. For enrolment purposes this means:
International students must be enrolled in a full-time load. A full-time load for a single degree is 60 credit points per semester.
International students must be able to complete their course within the duration of their visa. Each new student will have been provided with a completed course grid with his or her letter of offer. Academic Advisers should ensure that the student’s enrolment follows this plan.
Academic Advisers must check all international enrolments to ensure that students have both full-time load before data entry is undertaken. |
