Q. |
Am I an AMSI
student? |
|
|
A. |
The term "AMSI
student" means anyone who will be enrolled as an honours or
post graduate student at an
AMSI member institute during first semester 2006.
Your application can be endorsed by your current supervisor
or Head of Department, but if he or she is not from the
relevant institution, then some other evidence of your
enrolment may be required. Other circumstances which lead
you to believe that you should qualify as an AMSI student
will be considered on a case-by-case basis. |
|
Q. |
Will the
courses have assessment? |
|
|
A. |
Assessment will
be offered for each course and you will need to inform the
course organisers if you intend to take the course for
assessment. Assessment will only be compulsory for those
students taking a course as credit towards their degree.
Contact your Head of Department or Honours Coordinator for
guidance as to whether this will be possible at your home
university. |
|
Q. |
Am I guaranteed
of getting into my first choice of course? |
|
|

effort will be made to accommodate your choice. Where
necessary, preference will be given on the basis of first come,
first served. The final decision on course placements is at the
discretion of the organisers. |
|

|
|

for all others is $660. Where places in a course
are becoming filled, staff applicants will be given the
lowest priority. |
