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:

• CAM (On-Campus): Requires on campus attendance.
• ONL (Online): No on-campus attendance is required.
• MML (Multi-modal): Requires limited on-campus attendance for clinical practice subjects, known as residentials.

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

You can manage your enrolment online through MyStudent. 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 the Enrolment Team for them to action your request.

Refer to the MyStudent portal help page for assistance. If you need more help, you can:

You can find all the mandatory requirements on the Preparing for Professional Experience Placement website and go to the Nursing and Midwifery Preparation Checklists and follow all the directions. Alternatively you can ring the Professional Placement Unit : Cairns: 07 4232 1065 or Townsville: 07 4781 4697.

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• Your course status is 'admitted' and not 'withdrawn'.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 Any currently enrolled subjects in future study periods that overlap the approved leave period will be automatically withdrawn once your leave of absence is applied.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 and MyStudent. You may continue to enrol for subjects commencing after this period of leave.
