The CBMS 103x unit information 2009 is available now for download. Initial course information (unit outline plus prac info. for the 1st residential school) will be mailed to currently enrolled students by mid Feb. Please also log in at this unit web site now to view 103x unit materials 2009.
The prerequisite of CBMS103x is a PASS (a PC mark is insufficient) in CBMS101. Due to the demanding nature of this unit in the external mode, this prerequisite will be strictly enforced.
The residential schools are compulsory and there are no alternative dates for make up.
Absence forms available at the Student Center if meeting University's Definition of Unavoidable Disruption
Academic Senate has adopted the definition of unavoidable disruption to studies (Bachelor Degree Rule 7(4)) and the Postgraduate Coursework Rules (6(4)) as resulting from an event or set of circumstances which:
(a) could not have reasonably been anticipated, avoided or guarded against by the student; and
(b) were beyond the student's control; and
(c) caused substantial disruption to the student's capacity for effective study and/or the completion of required work; and
(d) interfered with the otherwise satisfactory fulfillment of unit or course requirements.
Circumstances routinely encountered by students would not normally be acceptable grounds for claiming unavoidable disruption to studies. Such circumstances include:
(a) routine demands of employment;
(b) routine family problems such as domestic tension with or between parents, spouses, and other people closely involved with the student;
(c) difficulties adjusting to University life, to the self-discipline needed to study effectively, and the demands of academic work;
(d) stress or anxiety associated with examinations, required assignments or any aspect of academic work;
(e) routine need for financial support;
(f) demands of sport, clubs and social or extra-curricular activities.
