2. COURSE & UNIT INFORMATION

If you have already studied at university level or have significant relevant work experience, you can apply for credit towards your ACU course. Credited units replace units you would otherwise study, so you can finish your course earlier. You can apply for credit towards your ACU course by completing an Application for Credit / Recognition of Prior Learning form. The form should be submitted no later than the third week of February for Semester 1 intake and the third week of July for semester 2 intake. This is to allow for changes to be made to your enrolments before the census date. The census date is the last day you can make changes to your student enrolment before you become committed to your fees. Professional experience units require continuous full-time engagement regardless of the enrolled study mode. Students complete all placements as described, either as individual days or in a sustained block. The culminating experience will include at least 25 days of continuous time in education settings.

Course Structure

The ACU Handbook1 provides detailed information about each ACU course, including minimum duration, requirements for completion, exit points, any available majors/minors/specialisations, Core Curriculum units and descriptions of units.

Additional Course and/or Unit Information

PLEASE NOTE: Graduate level units (500-code) — for example Religious Education units — if taken concurrently with the undergraduate program, must be approved by the National Course Coordinator. As these units are not part of the course requirements, they must be studied on a Non-Award fee-paying basis under a different ACU student ID. As a Non-Award unit, the fee must be paid upfront and cannot be deferred. Students wishing to complete the graduate level (500-code) units concurrently with their Bachelor degree studies must apply online via the Postgraduate Individual Unit application.

If the graduate level units (500-code) are studied after completion of the Bachelor degree, these units will also be full fee-paying, either as Non-Award units or under the Graduate Certificate in Religious Education (fee payment may be deferred for the Graduate Certificate). An application should be submitted online for a Postgraduate Individual Unit or the Graduate Certificate in Religious Education. Note for NSW students who did not meet the 3 Band 5 Requirements on entry to the course This course is structured to allow students to meet the 3 Band 5 requirements in the first year of the course. Students must pass all units in the first year before progressing to the second year.

LANTITE Successful achievement of approved benchmarks in literacy and numeracy (LANTITE) is a requirement for teacher accreditation or registration in Australia and is also one of the requirements for course completion at ACU. This is also a prerequisite for the last professional experience unit. Visit the FEA website for more information: http://www.acu.edu.au/866560. Notification of LANTITE registration and testing information is regularly sent to your ACU email. Working with Children and Police Checks Those students participating in the Professional Experience Program (PEP) must obtain background checks as required by Federal and State/Territory laws. Please refer to your Faculty’s Professional and Community Experience webpage for requirements in your local State or Territory. The Professional Experience Office will provide further information about the PEP prior to students commencing the program. Supervised professional experience is at the heart of all our Initial Teacher Education courses and the Faculty will find appropriate placements to suit the needs of your course. Placements will usually be arranged for the scheduled placement period in the professional experience calendar, although this may not always be possible.
