62 HOW TO PREPARE YOUR PROGRAM PLAN It is important when commencing a program that you develop a plan to effectively manage your study. These pages will help you organise a plan to suit your study needs. If after completing your program plan you find you still need help or advice, please contact UQ Business School to make an appointment with a Postgraduate Student Liaison Officer or to attend a student advisory session. POINTS TO CONSIDER WHEN DOING YOUR PLAN: Refer to guidelines for your program from this Study Guide. Read the program requirements for your program. If studying Master of Business or Master of Commerce, choose your major. If you are enrolling in the Graduate Certificate in Business or Commerce and you intend to articulate to the Masters program, you should consider which major you intend to study once enrolled in the Masters program, and plan accordingly. If you have been awarded credit/exemption from previous study towards your program, cross out the courses for which you have been awarded credit from the relevant program course list. For each course awarded as exemption you will need to replace it with another course of the same unit value from the program electives course list. Copy courses to be completed into the blank program plan on the opposite page, taking into consideration: The semester in which the course is offered. The prerequisites required before enrolling in the course. The incompatible courses listed before enrolling in the course. Program requirements. NOTE: The above information is available from the Course Descriptions section of this Study Guide, or mysi-net (sinet.uq.edu.au). The program plan includes spaces for summer intensive and July intensive (pre-semester 2) course offerings, but please be advised that the course offerings in these semesters may change from year to year. You will be required to bring a program plan with you to any appointments where you are seeking advice. Information is accurate at the time of publication. Should there be any discrepancy with this content and other publications the University Senate rules will apply. 62 UQ BUSINESS SCHOOL POSTGRADUATE STUDY GUIDE 2015
