FACULTY OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY Information for all Information Technology students Graduation rules This information is relevant to all Faculty of Information Technology courses. Students who commenced study towards a QUT award from Semester I, 10 (inclusive) are covered by QUT Student Rules, Procedures and Policies. To qualify for graduation, students admitted to courses offered by the Faculty of Information Technology on Gardens Point campus prior to!0 should: (i) obtain a grade of at least in all subjects specified for the award; and (ii) obtain a Graduation Index of at least.. (Graduation Index is calculated as for grade point average but counting only the best results for a repeated subject and ignoring all subjects for which the best result is a or a I. A student may repeat any subject in order to upgrade the result and hence increase the Graduation Index.) Rules and regulations Students undertaking courses in the Faculty of Information Technology should acquaint themselves with Faculty policy on assessment, deferred examinations, and plagiarism in programming assignments. In many cases, Faculty policy is more explicit than University policy. Faculty policy regarding use of University computer facilities Access to computer accounts, E-mail, and bulletin board facilities via QUT equipment is provided solely to assist students in education and research. Use of such facilities by students for matters unrelated to their course of study or approved research represents misuse. Any misuse may result in fines, suspension of use of computer accounts, and/or strict disciplinary action. Cooperative Education Program ( Subject ITB00- Industrial Training Experience) AIMS The purpose of the Cooperative Education Program is to provide students with experience of a real world environment prior to the study of the more advanced aspects of the course in which they are enrolled. This experience: (i) enables the student to place the concepts learned in the first two years in context; and (ii) provides an experience that will enhance the benefits obtained from early study.

The Cooperative Education period necessarily involves reorientation and on-the-job training but students are expected to apply study skills to the acquisition of the necessary knowledge and, in general, employers are not expected to provide fonnal training. SELECTION CRITERIA To qualify for the Cooperative Education Program, students must have enrolled in the fourth semester (or equivalent) of their undergraduate degree, and either passed all subjects or attained an overall grade point average of.5 in the first three semesters (or equivalent), The option to review a student's grade point average at the end of the fourth semester is available to employers. FEATURES The Cooperative Education Program is offered under the guise of the subject ITB00 Industrial Training Experience and has the following features: 0 The Faculty assists students to obtain suitable employment for the one-year period and also discusses the nature of the work to be undertaken with the employer. As employers choose their placements from interviews, the Faculty also arranges for students to attend sessions on interview techniques conducted by the Counselling Centre. D An academic member of staff nonnally visits the student once per semester and discusses progress with the student and a representative of the employer. o During the -month training period the student writes two reports on the experience, submits them to the employer for endorsement and comment, and then hands them to the Student Officer for assessment. The reports should highlight different aspects of the period, and include comments and recommendations. o A pass in this module, as well as 18 credit points, will be granted on the basis of: (i) satisfactory completion of an approved period of Cooperative Education; and (ii) submission of satisfactory reports on the year's experience. The reports must be submitted not later than the due dates specified in the study guides. 0 A salary is paid to the student by the employer during this training period. o The Faculty carefully monitors all Cooperative Education placements and keeps a list of employers prepared to offer training. The Faculty makes its best endeavour to find suitable training places for all students who meet the selection criteria and elect to undertake this option. o Part-time students may apply for credit towards ITB00 on the basis of their employment. Credit will be granted on the basis of a two-year period of full-time employment in an approved environment and compliance with a number of administrative requirements: (i) a statement from the Course Coordinator that the arrangements have been discussed with the employer and that the proposed period of employment will provide appropriate work experience; (ii) satisfactory reports, written by the student, endorsed by the employer and submitted no later than the due dates. 0 It is intended that full-time students on the scheme will devote their prime efforts to the Industrial Training Experience and will not, therefore, be permitted to register for more than one other subject per semester during that year. SPECIAL NOTES For students enrolled in the Bachelor of Business (Information Management) (IS) ITB00 Industrial Training Experience replaces the project subject (ISB05) normally

done in Year, Semester. It is recommended that these students also do ISB50-Minor Studies, worth three credit points. This can take the form of a small project related to the Cooperative Education placement specific to Information Management. It can be arranged with the Faculty Student Officer, completed during the placement, and credited in Year, Semester I. Successful completion of!tb00-industrial Training Experience and ISB50-Minor Studies replaces ISB05-Project and one nine credit point elective. Students who choose not to do ISB50 will be required to do an elective to reach the minimum credit points for graduation.

The granting of any exemption is subject to the approval of the Head, School of Computing Science. The course structure comprises core, project and elective components. The student intake is heterogeneous and some students may need to undertake advanced undergraduate subjects as prerequisites for core subjects. A maximum of 8 credit points from these undergraduate prerequisites may be credited towards completion of the course. The core component comprises six subjects (7 credit points) and for students with all necessary prerequisite qualifications these subjects are undertaken in the first four semesters of the part-time course.
