Without the generous involvement of the UQ staff who coordinate and present our courses, the Staff Development Program would not be possible. The University Staff Development Committee acknowledges our volunteer presenters and coordinators for the time and expertise they contribute to the development of their colleagues and to the performance of the University.

This information aims to assist you in your role as a presenter or coordinator.

The Course Coordinator Checklist is a quick reference for course coordinators. Please refer to the Course Coordinator Handbook (below) for full details of the roles and responsibilities of HR, Course Coordinators and Presenters.

The Course Coordinator Handbook outlines the roles and responsibilities of HR, Course Coordinators and Presenters.  It provides instructions on how to submit new course requests, produce enrolment lists, participant check lists etc.

The Course Specifications Form is to be completed for all new courses by 31 August each year. Course coordinators will be sent objectives & requirements reports for all existing courses which ran in that year. The course coordinator is asked to enter changes, number of iteratoins etc onto the objectives and requirements reports and submit the forms to Staff Development for the following years program. All completed forms are used by the Staff Development Officer to compile the proposed program of courses for the next year to the University Staff Development Committee (USDC). Once approved by the USDC most of the details specified on the form are unable to be amended until the next annual proposal is submitted. Completed forms can be submitted to staffdev@uq.edu.au.
