Major Activities

The major activities involved in moving to a unitised structure include:

• program redesign and associated rule changes – which are being dealt with by faculties and departments (who are in many cases redesigning course content and presentation) university-wide rule changes – rules such as the
  
  General Award Rules
  Entry Rules
  Enrolment Rules
  Assessment Rules
  Exclusion Rules
  
  
• recoding courses (subjects), using the new 8 character alpha numeric course codes
• recording details of the new courses – faculties are compiling details of all new courses (subjects) and recording these in a spreadsheet which will be used for upload to PeopleSoft. The core elements of this data will also be needed for the 2001 Handbook series.
• translating student academic records and providing advices to students in December 2000
• implementing a communication plan to ensure all key stakeholders and relevant audiences know what is happening and what it means for them.

The schedule, below, provides a general indication of when these major activities are due for completion.
