Residential Schools Information
Welcome to the Residential School information page. We understand how difficult it can be for students studying by distance mode so we have provided some information which may help you to have a successful Residential School experience.
Residential School Dates & Venues
An eBox message will be sent to you approximately 6 weeks prior to the start of the residential school period. This will give you the links to book your accommodation online as well as other links to web sites for information that may be useful.

Exemption from Residential School
Students enrolled in a subject which has a compulsory residential school are required to attend unless an exemption has been applied for and granted. Under academic regulations private arrangements for exemptions with Subject Coordinators are not covered.
Exemptions from attendance at a residential school are considered only under exceptional circumstances, therefore non-attendance at the Residential School may cause a fail grade.
Conditions of exemption:
- Applications for exemption must be in writing and include supporting documentation, e.g. medical certificate
- You must apply prior to the commencement of the residential school.
Exemptions are normally only granted on the following grounds:
- If you have previously attended the residential school for this subject
- If you are attending on campus practicals/tutorials
Click to apply for online exemption on these grounds.
If the 'reason for exemption' requires support documentation, e.g. illness or misadventure please download the Residential School Exemption Form, and send with documentation to Student Services by fax or post to the relevant campus.
You will then be notified of the outcome of your application.
