Field excursions
Field excursions are regarded as an essential component of
many QUT courses. As such, they may be
-
compulsory, in which case attendance is specified in the
course requirements and a student's progression is dependent on
his or her having satisfied all requirements associated with the
excursion
-
optional, in which case attendance will assist the student in
understanding the unit but progression is not dependent on his or
her having participated in the excursion.
Where a field excursion is classified as compulsory, provision
must be made in the course requirements by
-
designation of a separate unit with its own unit code
-
a general statement requiring students to attend all field
trips designated as compulsory as approved by the faculty
academic board and promulgated on commencement of each
semester.
Where field excursions are an essential component of any unit,
this should be stated clearly in the unit synopsis.
A listing of all compulsory field trips should be promulgated and drawn to
the attention of students at the commencement of each semester. Where details
of the trip have not been finalised or are subject to change, this should be
noted. See
E/7.2
for details of financial arrangements
for and reimbursement of student expenses relating to field excursions.
