Residential Schools

While you can study many external programs in full distance learning mode, there are a number of courses that have Residential School components. If these are classed as compulsory, students must attend them in order to fulfil the requirements of that course.

 A Residential School involves a period of time that must be spent on campus, usually at Gatton but sometimes other locations. These take place during the semester breaks; March - April (Easter) in semester one, September in semester two and occasionally in July. They can be held over one day or up to six days and are practically-oriented.

When planning your enrolment each year, you should follow the recommended schedules, to avoid clashes with the Residential School timetable. If you do make changes to your enrolment, it is your responsibility to ensure that you can attend any Residential Schools.

Students must make their own arrangements to travel to the campus and for accommodation. Limited on-campus accommodation is available, see the Halls of Residence  with your queries.

Consult the Distance Education Student Guide sent out at the start of the year, or the Residential School booklet posted with semester two materials for a list of local accommodation providers.

UQ Accommodation Services can also assist in this regard.
