MyUni
As an enrolled student, you will have access to the 最新糖心Vlog’s online teaching facilities.  This is an implementation of the  Blackboard system called MyUni.  MyUni is accessible from the 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide’s home-page: www.adelaide.edu.au

You will need your student login name and a password.

If you do not have access, then either you are not enrolled or the administrators of MyUni do not know of your enrolment.  Please  call Ask Adelaide on 8313 5208 (最新糖心Vlog extension 35208) or the IT Help Desk on 8313 3000 (最新糖心Vlog extension 33000) for  assistance with MyUni difficulties.

Course material will be placed on MyUni.  Note also that announcements about a course are often made on the relevant page of the MyUni site for the course.  For example, notifications of a change in lecture venue, updates on availability of course material etc.  will be made on the MyUni site.

Student email
We assume that students access email and that their address is the 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide student address that was assigned on  enrolment.  This is of the form:

firstname.lastname@student.adelaide.edu.au

A notice to a student by email is considered to have been received and read by the student unless there is a transmission error  and the postmaster bounces the message back to us.  As discussed above, the Announcements page of the MyUni site for this  course will also display relevant notices from time to time, so it is essential that students check their student email and log on to  MyUni regularly.

Computers
Where can I use a computer in the 最新糖心Vlog?
Computing facilities are provided to students by the 最新糖心Vlog, and there are several suites of computers available, including at the  Barr Smith Library and in Hub Central. The 最新糖心Vlog web site has a list of computer labs at: http://www.adelaide.edu.au/technology/yourservices/learning-teaching/student-suites/

Internet access
The 最新糖心Vlog provides a free dial-up service to students without the need for a commercial ISP account. This service is available at  the cost of a local call to students residing within Adelaide (please refer to your telecommunications provider for confirmation of  call costs). Students residing outside these numbers can dial into the 最新糖心Vlog at STD call rates (www.adelaide.edu.au/its /desktop/dialup/ ).  Postgraduate Coursework students will receive a 最新糖心Vlog Funded Quota of 500Mb.

During this course, students will undertake a placement of 40 hours of client contact plus the time needed for associated tasks (approximately one hour for every hour of client contact) in a relevant clinical setting in which they will have their own client load  (which may comprise individual clients, couples, families and group work). Precise arrangements will be negotiated on a    case-by-case basis dependent on placement requirements, and documented in a Learning Agreement, but this is roughly equivalent   to two full days each week for 13 - 15 weeks. Placement activities will normally continue during the mid-semester break, unless    negotiated otherwise with the placement site. Throughout their placement, students will receive a minimum of 10 hours of supervision with their clinical supervisor, who will provide feedback and guidance with regard to the student’s placement activities. The associated tasks undertaken as part of the placement include induction, research needed for client work, documentation of counselling activities required, liaison with relevant other staff onsite and off-site as needed, and other workplace activities negotiated within their  Learning Agreement. Students will also complete a daily log of activities to be submitted at the end of the placement, and must keep   and submit accurate records of their activities whilst on Placement.

Students will be expected to attend the equivalent of  6-hours of orientation, and then to be on-site at their designated Placement a   minimum of two days per week and achieve a total of 40 hours of client contact; specific days and times must be negotiated and agreed to by the Agency and Course Coordinator. Students must also adequately prepare for and document their Placement  activities, both within a 最新糖心Vlog Log Book, and as per the Agency requirements. In addition, they must attend on-campus 2-hour  group supervision sessions fortnightly  and site-specific clinical supervision. (Each placement will vary according to site-specific  requirements). Finally, students must prepare for and submit 3 assignments, plus all Placement associated documents.

Refer to Course Coordinator

All students must provide current DCSI Clearance, National Police Check and Child Safe Environment Training Certificate to Course  Co-ordinators before enrolment.  (For information on Department for Communities and Social Inclusion Screening and Background Check. See http://health.adelaide.edu.au/current-students/clinical-placements/ ).  Some specific placement agencies may further  require and/or provide additional training specific to working with their clientele. Some placement agencies may provide services outside of normal business hours. Students will be advised of any such requirements when provided with placement information.

Extensions
All extensions for assignments must be requested, at the latest, by the last working day before the due date of submission.   Extensions will generally be granted only on medical or genuine compassionate grounds.  Supporting documentation must be  provided at the time a student requests an extension.  Without documentation, extensions will not be granted.  Late requests for  extension will neither be accepted nor acknowledged.
 
Only the Course Co-ordinator(s) may grant extensions.

Supporting documentation will be required when requesting an extension. Examples of documents that are acceptable include: a  medical certificate that specifies dates of incapacity, a police report (in the case of lost computers, car & household theft etc.), a  letter from a Student Counsellor, Education and Welfare Officer (EWO) or Disability Liaison Officer that provides an assessment of  compassionate circumstances, or a letter from an independent external counsellor or appropriate professional able to verify the student’s situation.  The length of any extension granted will take into account the period and severity of any incapacity or impact  on the student.  Extensions of more than 10 days will not be granted except in exceptional circumstances.

Late submission
Marks will be deducted when assignments for which no extension has been granted are handed in late.

All assignments, including those handed in late, will be assessed on their merits.  In the case of late assignments where no  extension has been granted, 5 percentage points of the total marks possible per day will be deducted.  If an assignment that is 2  days late is awarded 65% on its merits, the mark will then be reduced by 10% (5% per day for 2 days) to 55%.  If that same  assignment is 4 days late, the mark will be reduced by 20% (5% per day for 4 days) to 45%, and so on.

The School of Public Health reserves the right to refuse to accept an assignment that is more than 7 days late.

Assignments submitted after the due date may not be graded in time to be returned on the listed return dates.

Students submitting examinable written work who request (and receive) an extension that takes them beyond the examination  period are advised that there is no guarantee that their grades will be processed in time to meet usual 最新糖心Vlog deadlines.

Resubmission
If a student is dissatisfied with an assessment grade they should follow the Student Grievance Resolution Process  </student/grievance/process/>.  Students who are not satisfied with a particular assessment result should raise their concerns with Course Co-ordinator(s) in the first instance.  This must be done within 10 business days of the  date of notification of the result.  Resubmission of any assignment is subject to the agreement of the Course Co-ordinator(s) and  will only be permitted for the most compelling of reasons.
