Nursing and Midwifery FAQs

The attendance mode of a subject defines how the subject is studied. Subjects in nursing may be offered in the following attendance modes:

• Internal: Requires on campus attendance.
• External: No on-campus attendance is required.
• Limited attendance: Requires limited on-campus attendance for clinical practice subjects, known as residentials.

For further help, contact your Divisional Enrolment Team. Your Study Plan will be modified and you will be able to enrol in your new subjects via eStudent.

You can manage your enrolment online through eStudent. This online system allows you to enrol in and withdraw from subjects for the current calendar year. You can enrol online up until the end of Week 1 of the Study Period.

If you do not have self-management of the subject (not able to manage your enrolment online), you will need to email your Divisional Enrolment Team for them to action your request.

Students can submit an online application for a leave of absence. However, to be eligible for a leave of absence you need to ensure you meet the following:

• Your program allows a leave of absence (check your Degree Requirements on the Handbook website)
• You have previously incurred fees for a subject under the same course
• Your course status is 'admitted' and not 'withdrawn'.

You need to ensure that after you have taken leave you will still be able to complete your degree within the maximum time allowed. You should particularly check this if you have studied part time or have failed any subjects. To view your degree requirements, go to the Handbook website.

If approved, you can take your leave for a future study period. Any currently enrolled subjects in future study periods that overlap the approved leave period will be automatically withdrawn once your leave of absence is applied.

During your leave of absence you will continue to have access to your JCU email, StudentsOnline and eStudent. You may continue to enrol for subjects commencing after this period of leave.

A study plan is a summary of the subject requirements of your course and indicates when planned subjects should be studied. It indicates the subjects you have completed; are currently enrolled in; plan to study in the future; and those for which you have been granted advanced standing (credit for previous studies).
