FAQs for Midyear Applications

Got questions about midyear entry requirements, application dates or online enabled learning? Your most frequently asked questions about midyear intake are answered below. 

When they start in July, facilitated classes will be predominantly on campus, in line with COVIDSafe campus protocols. This means more tutorials, lectorials, practicals and workshops will be delivered face-to-face. Classes that require specialist spaces or equipment will be prioritised for on campus learning.

For some courses, online facilitated classes will still be available for students who cannot attend campus or would prefer to study online.

You can find out if a course has facilitated classes on campus, online or both by checking the Semester 2 class timetable from 15 June.

If you are unable to attend campus in Semester 2 2021, either due to ongoing international travel restrictions or personal circumstances, you will either be offered equivalent online activities or the option to complete activities on campus at a future date.
