8. Assessmentprocedures
Brief details
of
the assessment procedures forall
subjects are givenin
the relevant syllabuses. Precise details of the assessment methods should be determined no later thantwo
weeks after the commencementof
the subject andwill
be available from the department concerned. These will include the methods of examination and assessment in that subject and the relative weights given to the various components (e.g. such of the following as are relevant: assessments, term or mid-year tests, essays or other written or practical work, final written examinations, viva yoce examinations). In many subjects, but not all, students are given an opportunity to redeem any assessed work that has been failed. For information concerning Supplementary Examinations see section 25 below.4t9
9.
Changeof¡ddress or
nameChange of¡dd¡ess
Students who change their term or home address should immediately notify the Registrar, and each department in which they are studying, ofthe change. Prelerably they should call in person at the Records Office [Level 7, southern end of Kenneth Wills Building]
and complete the appropriate change ofaddress form. It is important that students ensure that the University has an up-to-date addres.
Changc of n¡me
A
student's name in the University's records is the name given by the student onfint
enrolling. Sometimes this name has to be reconciled with that on other documents such as a birth certif¡cate, S.S.A.B.S.A. Yea¡ 12 Certifrcate of Achievement or other certificate oleducational qualification. This name must continue to be used unless and until it is changed in a way acceptable to the University. [See below.]
Whether a student's name'in the University's records is to be changed is for the student to decide, e.g. a female student who marries may elect to leave her University records under her maiden name, or ask that they be under her married name. They cånnot be
held concurrently under both names.
A
married woman may, where the University's records already contain both maiden and married names, revert to use her maiden narne by simply writing and requesting the change.However, in the interests of the student, the University will change a student's name in its records only ifdocumentary evidence, satisfactory to the University, ofthe change of name is submitted. This evidence may be one of the following:
(a) marriage certific¿te, birth certificate or pnssport;
þ)
deed poll, executed through a solicitor or notary public;(c) certificate of change of name, issued by the Principal Registry Offrce of the Births, Deaths and Marriages Registration Division. This is a simple procedure and may be
completed
by
callingat the
Births, Deathsand
Marriage Registration Division, Department of Public and Consumer Affairs, 59 King William Street, Adelaide 5000.A
student wishing to have his or her name changed in the Univenity's records should obtain from the Records Offrce, and complete, a "Change of Name and,/or Address" form;attach the appropriate documentary evidence (original or photocopy); and lodge with the Records Offrce. An original document will be retumed.
10. Class
attendanceDepartments vary in the emphasis that they place on attendance at classes; and students who may wish to know a department's attitude in this regard are advised to check with the depafment at the beginning ofthe year.
Some departments do not insist on attendance
at
lectures; but virtuallyall
requirc attendance at tutorials, laboratory or other practical work, field work and so on.Students who are not permitted to sit an examination for asessment in a subject because ofunsatisfactory attendance or unsatisfactory work will be regarded as having failed.
ll. Cou¡se overlords
Students who contemplate undertaking more than a normal coune Ioad must obtain approval of their course from a Course Adviser.
If
a student is enrolledin
two faculties, approval of one adviser from each faculty is required.Students should be aware ofthe full implications oltheir choice to take a course overload and they may alsó wish to discuss the question with one ol the staff from the Student' Sewices area. (See sections
3l
and 36.)Information fo¡
Students12. Enrolments
Particulars
of
the proceduresfor
enrolment may be foundin
the enrolment leaflet available in December. Students who are unable to be in Adelaide during the enrolment period may authorise another person to enrol on their behalf. In special circumstances, a postal enrolment may be permitted however, sh¡dents are strongly ¡dvised to lodge their enrotments in person.Amendments, withdrawal from course, outstanding obligations
Students who have lodged an enrolment form will have
their
theUniversity's official rccords in accordance with the
informat
onthat form. Re-enrolling students who have not had the
presc
ion or owe Statutory (Union) fees or have Library commitments are not permitted to re-enrol until the outstanding obligations have been satisfred. Students wishing to add, withdraw from, or alter subjects, or options, need to obtain an "Amendment to Enrolment" form lrom their Course Adviser, Assistant Registrar or from the Student Records Off¡ce. The lorm must then be completed, approved by the appropriate Coune Adviser, and returned to the Registrar. Where a change is effective from3l
March or earlier, the original entry will be deleted from the University's offtcial record.Once students have enrolled, the University continues to regard them as students, subject to the statutes, regulations, rules and lawlul directions of the University, until such time as they notify the Registrar on an "Amendment to Enrolment" form that they wish to withdraw. Ut is NOT suffrcient lor them merely to tell their lecturer.l
For each subject, depending on the period over which it is øught, a date is prescribed after which any withdrawal will be regarded as a failure. The relevant dates arc:

The University makes every effort
to
caterfor
the special needsol
students with temporaryor
pernanent handicaps,or with
other special circumstances. Special arrangements may be made wherever possible to assist them in their studies or with their examinations. Some ramps for wheel-chairs are provided and a small number of parking places are r€served for paraplegic students who áre able to drive a car.Students
with a
physical disability which may impair their abilityto
undertake apalicular course should carefully consider
all
the consequences before applying for admissionto
that course. For example conditions such as dyslexia, muscular inco- ordination, epilepsy, sight or hearing problems, may impede both preparation for, as wellas the subsequent fulfilment ofa particular bareer.
Students ìvho may have any doubts at all about their physical capacity to undertake a particular course or who believe that they may r€quire sp€cial arrangements are strongly advised before applying for admision to that course to consult a doctor at the University Health Service who
will
liaise with their own doctor. Students with dyslexiaor
other formsof
disabilityin
languageor
leaming may, alternatively, consult the Student Counselling Service. Such action may prevent subsequent disappointment, and could assist the Univenity in helping such students.17. Hepatitis B
For 1987, all students enrolling in dental courses (ie, undergraduate and post-gràduate) should arrange to be screened for Hepatitis B antibody. Evidence ofthis screening should be submitted to the Registrar and vaccination will be at the students'expense. Beyond
I 987, students entering dental courses for the first time should be screened and vaccinated as above.
Students who are shown to be antibody positive should have antigen tests performed.
Students who are known to be c¿rriers should be aware ofthe difficulties and risks this presents to themselves and their patients
in
performing clinical practice. The N.H. &M.R.C. guidelines indicate that gowns, gloves and face-masks should be wom by carrier state student operators and that attention must be paid to aseptic techniques. Advice regarding this should be obtained from the Dean or the University Health Service.
Students suffering acute clinical effects of Hepatitis B will not be p€rmitted to continue their studies until advice is received from the Director, University Health Service, that they might return.
Students new to a dental course will be able to enrol provisionally and when evidence of antibody screening against hepatitis B is provided to the University Health Service this enrolment will be confirmed.
Policy Circular No. l8 of the South,Australian Dental Se rvice reports on Dental Care and Transmisible Diseases and should be read by students.
18. Medical examination
All
new students are encouraged to undertake a medical examination.It
is compulsory however, for all new full-time students to be screened for tuberculosis by either the Health Service or by their own docton.ln the latter instance, the doctor is expected to conduct the examination in accordance 423
with the provisions of the form used by the Health Service, and to complete the form and return it to the Health Service. The student must pay the doctor's fee
in
this case. There is no fee for examination by the Health Service. Health Service forms are obtainable on application to the receptionist in the Health Service. See section 36 Health Services for additional medical services provided.19. Repeating students: applicat¡ons for exemption from
attendanceat lectures, tutorials or practical wotk
20. Review of
academicprogress (Clause 4C)
under the provisions of clause
4c
of chapterXXV
of the statutes students whose academic progress is considered to beunsatisfactory
ing fulher studies in the coune for which they are enrolled;or
ourse may not be permitted for one academic yeår; or theyma
but with ã restricted course.The general policy ofthe Council, and the intention ofthe Faculties, is as follows:
l.
where students have been unable to make adequate progress with their studies the Faculty concerned may, in the students'own interest, eitåer(a) limit or prescribe the subjects they may undertake in the followingyear, or (b) ask.them to give good reasons for being permitted to enrol
in
the next ensuing academic year, or(c) ask them to show good cause why they should not be precluded from all further studies in their course.
2. Students whose academic progress is under review
will
be asked to givein
writing reasons for their poor academic performance. It may be necessary for some students tõ submit medical certif¡catesor
reveal certain personal matters.Any
information they supplywill,
in the first instance, be considered only by a small sub-committee of thêconsid
aremakin
anith the
herh as
th
ionmay be found by consulting section 6 above.
3. If, in the light of the inlormation supplied, the Faculty recommends that particular students be required to defer their enrolment or be precluded, they are informed of the decision
by
letter and given a further opportunity to bring before the University any information which was not available when the Faculty considered their case. Recom- mendations from the Faculties are considered by a Standing committee of the council, which reports to the Council. After taking into consideration all the evidence, the Council may confrrm, vary or refer back to the Faculty the recommendation it has made.4. It will be seen that students whose progres is under review have ample opportunity to bring to the attention of their Faculty and the Council any information which they believe to be relevant
to
their poor academic performance. Each caseis
looked at individually, and is given full and careful consideration before any action is taken.Further info¡mation may be lound in a leaflet obtainable from the Asistant Registrar of the Faculty in which they are enrolled.
