Subject Outline Template

The Subject Outline Template represent the minimum requirements for all JCU Subject Outlines. The 2021 version is available below.

In order to best support Subject Coordinators in developing their subject outlines, the 2021 Subject Outline Template is available in two versions:

1. with the compulsory black text only (download file)
2. with the compulsory black text and Subject Coordinator instructions in brown text (download file)

When developing a subject outline, please also refer to the assessment methods webpage or the (pdf format) list of assessment methods. This list of JCU assessment methods is also presented as Appendix A of the Subject Outline.

The 2021 documents contain important changes to policy and procedures so it is essential for all Subject Coordinators to transfer to the new template rather than amend existing outlines. Colleges and Disciplines my choose to provide additional information to students, or make minor alterations to the format, however, the core information provided in the template is mandatory for all subjects.
