Rules & notes

Rules

1. To undertake field/clinical placements students are required to have current criminal history and screening checks as published by the Clinical Placement Unit (unisa.edu.au/CPU). These checks will list disclosable court outcomes that may prevent field / clinical placement involvement and subsequently may prevent completion of the program.

2. Students will be required to satisfy the standard of dress, behaviour and fitness prescribed by institutions in which the professional or clinical placements are undertaken. Failure to satisfy such requirements may prevent them satisfying the requirements for the completion of the program.

3. Students are required to have a current 'Provide First Aid' Certificate (or equivalent) prior to the commencement of their first placement. Students will need to cover costs associated with this certification.

4. Students will be required to undertake Child Safe Environments training before commencing their first placement. Students will need to cover costs associated with this training.

5. The program requires participation in practical classes where manual skills are practiced. Essential learning activities in some classes may require that students partially remove their clothing to a level that is appropriate to the learning activity. Students may also be asked to act as subjects for their peer group members. If a student is unable to meet these requirements they may be at risk of being unable to successfully complete course objectives and assessments and progress through the program.

6. Participation is required in practical classes and clinical placements where students are required to physically handle people including lifting and supporting people with disabilities.

7. Students will be required to undergo pre-exercise screening prior to commencing the degree to ensure safe readiness to participate in physical activity or exercise related learning activities.

8. Students must meet the vaccination requirements for health professionals prior to commencing the program. Failure to meet vaccination requirements will limit placement opportunities.

9. At least one elective must be chosen from the Program's elective list, unless otherwise approved by the Program Director.

10. Students who do not maintain continuous enrolment in this program after commencing work integrated learning placements, or are returning from a period of absence of more than 12 months will be required to undertake a competency assessment and/or recency training at an upfront cost, in addition to the program tuition fees. This is to ensure students have maintained competency in the required skills to protect the safety of the public during work integrated learning arrangements.

Notes

1. Students may be required to undergo a medical examination before commencing clinical placements as determined by the relevant hospital or placement authorities.

2. Students are advised that they may be required to spend time in a placement outside Adelaide in a country or interstate location.

3. Students may be required to undertake placement outside normal university teaching weeks and outside of normal business hours.

4. Students are advised that a current South Australian driver's license may be required by some field practice agencies and a driver's license is considered an advantage for field practice opportunities.

5. Year 4 of the program commences early in the First Semester. The total load for the year is 36 units, however the project and thesis are completed throughout the year, thus balancing student workload.

6. Students are strongly encouraged to study full-time. Students seeking part-time study must discuss this with the Program Director prior to enrolment. Part-time students are normally expected to complete the program in eight years.

Study hours

For each course you study, you will need to allocate time for various classes such as lectures, tutorials, workshops, seminars and practicals. Plus you will need additional hours to study in your own time to complete assignments, readings and projects, as well as to contribute to online discussion forums (independent study). So as a general rule, if you are studying full-time you would need to allocate 12–26 hours of study when at university and 14–28 hours of independent study per week.

Assessment

Your studies will incorporate practical, professionally focused and research-based learning, so assessment types will vary. You can expect them to include:

practical tests
theory tests
quizzes
group assignments
research proposals
essays and assignments
examinations.
