Internal course transfer to Bachelor of Creative Arts or Bachelor of Journalism

Information Sheet for 2009/2010

General Information

Students sometimes discover that they have made the wrong choice in selecting a degree course that does not meet their interests or abilities. The University allows students the possibility of varying their course by transferring into another degree program.

The number of internal course transfer places depends on the demand for places by new students applying either through UAC or via direct entry for programs offered by the Faculty of Creative Arts. Entry is highly competitive: students considering a course transfer should note that there is no guarantee of success.

If you wish to transfer into the BCA or BJ, it is wise to seek preliminary advice from the Sub Dean or Program Coordinator.

Note: Transfer is only possible in Autumn Session.

Procedure

To be considered for an internal transfer into a Faculty of Creative Arts undergraduate degree, you will need to follow the procedure outlined below:

• Complete an Interview Request Form by 16 October 2009. The form, and portfolio information can be found on the Creative Arts Homepage. 
• Complete an Application to Vary Course Registration form available online or from Student Central. You can submit the form to the Faculty, or bring it to your interview. The Sub Dean will sign the completed form once the outcome of your interview is known. You will also need to include a copy of your academic record.

Selection

The selection criteria used for choosing successful applicants are as follows:

• Interview/Audition and portfolio
• A minimum of 24 credit points completed in your current degree
• Details of your ATAR (previously UAI or TER) or equivalent, including results for individual subjects
• Your academic record from your current degree.

Notification of Results of Your Application

You will be notified of the results of your application in early February, 2010. To avoid Late Re-Enrolment Charges you will need to re-enrol in you current degree program. If you are successful in transferring, the Faculty will assist you in withdrawing from those subjects and enrolling in Creative Arts programs.
