Welcome
Charles Darwin University (CDU) is the Northern Territory’s own
university and delivers training and education to more than 20,000
students. People come from throughout the Territory, all states of
Australia and overseas to study at one of CDU’s eight campuses and
centres.
Most CDU students study Vocational Education and Training (VET)
courses that qualify them to work in a wide range of jobs. At CDU, VET
courses also provide many pathways to Higher Education study.
Our VET courses will help you to develop a range of work skills that
are in demand in the current marketplace. No matter who you are or
where you are in your life, CDU can help to change your world.
This guide provides the information you will need to become a CDU
student, including information on enrolment processes. It will help you
to access the services that we provide to students.
INTRODUCTION
Who needs this guide?
The 2010 VET Student Guide is for anyone who is interested in
completing a unit, course or qualification at CDU.

endorsement for you to take part as a 14-year-old
• you are at school in a remote community and are 14 years of age at
the time of enrolment
• you are at school in a remote community and CDU has the school

or centre, must be accompanied by a responsible adult provided by the
secondary school or parents/guardians.

Courses available at CDU in 2010

The VET program delivery is flexible and varies according to client
demand. Students are encouraged to refer to the University’s website
at www.cdu.edu.au/courses for the most up-to-date list of courses. Not
all courses are available to secondary school students through VET in

The enrolment process is a contract between yourself and CDU,
indicating your commitment to complete one or more units, a course or
a qualification. At the same time, CDU staff are committed to providing
the best quality services, including the delivery of your units or courses,
the administrative processes associated with your student experience
from enrolment to graduation, and the facilities and equipment we
provide to support the delivery of our programs.
You are encouraged to contact the team relevant to your course by
phone, fax, email or mail if you wish to obtain extra information, or to
clarify any issues or questions you may have. Contact details are listed
at the back of this guide.

You need to enrol if you want to begin studying or to continue studying
in 2010. Once you have selected the course(s) in which you would like
to enrol, you should complete the personal and statistical details on the
2010 VET Enrolment Form and then arrange a time with the relevant
Team Leader or Delegate to discuss and complete your enrolment.
ENROLMENT PROCESS
When do I need to complete my enrolment
form by?
An enrolment form should be completed before the start of your course
or by negotiation with the Team responsible for delivery of the course.
Student number
Students who have studied previously at CDU (or NTU or Centralian
College) already have a student number. Your student number is unique
and will remain the same while you are a student at the University. New
students will be issued with a student number when their enrolment is
processed electronically at the University. Your student number will be
printed on your Enrolment and Fees Advice – Invoice. If you have been
allocated more than one student number, advise the relevant Team
Customer Service Officer or regional centre immediately. Your student
number should be quoted on all correspondence with the University.

information will be entered into the University’s Student Management
System by a Customer Service Officer in the Industry Team responsible
for the delivery of your course. Customer Service Officers are your
first point of contact if you have any queries about the status or details
of your enrolment. Team contact details, including locations, phone
numbers and email addresses are listed at the back of this Guide.

Advice - Invoice, what should I do?
The Enrolment and Fees Advice - Invoice serves several purposes. It lists
your personal details, your student ID, and the course and units you
have enrolled in, as well as the amount of fees that you need to pay
and by when. Check this Advice/Invoice to ensure all details have been
recorded accurately, and contact the Customer Service Officer relevant
to your course immediately if you have any queries. The relevant Team
contact details will be on the back of your Enrolment and Fees Advice
– Invoice.

internal/mixed mode units?
Once you have submitted your enrolment form, consider yourself
enrolled and start attending classes. You do not have to wait to receive
your Invoice or any other form of written confirmation of enrolment
before you attend classes. If you are an apprentice, you will receive a
letter advising you of class attendance dates.

10 VET student guide 2010

 CHANGING YOUR ENROLMENT
How do I add and/or withdraw from a unit?
To amend your enrolment by adding and/or withdrawing a unit,
complete a Change of Enrolment/Withdrawal from Course form, have
it authorised by the relevant Team Leader/Delegate and submit it to
the relevant Team immediately. Ensure you have ticked the box on your
form to indicate that you are changing your enrolment.
For any questions, please contact:
Customer Service Officer. Contact details are listed on the back of your
Enrolment and Fees Advice - Invoice.
Note: Ensure that you submit your Change of Enrolment/ Withdrawal
from Course form within 14 days from the start of the units you
are withdrawing from to avoid financial penalty. Fees will apply if
you choose to withdraw more than 14 days after the unit begins.
Applications for withdrawal from a unit received after the following
dates will not be processed:
• 11 June 2010, for units you are enrolled in for Teaching
Periods 1 and 2.
• 19 November 2010, for units you are enrolled in for Teaching
Periods 3 and 4.
You cannot withdraw from units once you have been assessed and
found to be competent or not competent in the unit. Students cannot
add units to a completed award.
Withdrawal from a course
If you want to withdraw from your course of study, you may benefit
from discussing your situation with your Team Leader/Delegate or a
Student Facilitator. Often an alternative solution other than withdrawal
can be found. To withdraw from your course, complete a Change of
Enrolment/ Withdrawal from Course form and submit it to the relevant
Team before the final assessment. Ensure you have ticked the box on
your form to indicate that you are withdrawing from your course. This
form can be found at www.cdu.edu.au/studentnet/adminforms.
All changes to your enrolment are effective from the date your written
notification is received and date-stamped by CDU. It is not sufficient
just to tell your Lecturer that you are withdrawing from a course. NON-
ATTENDANCE at classes does not automatically cancel your enrolment,
nor does it cancel your student debt.
Note: To avoid financial penalty, you should submit your Change of
Enrolment/ Withdrawal from a Course form (ensuring you have ticked
the Withdrawal from Course box) within 14 days of the start of the
course. A Customer Service Officer will notify you in writing when your
request has been processed.
For any questions, please contact:
Customer Service Officer. Contact details are listed on the back of your
Enrolment and Fees Advice - Invoice.
Charles Darwin University 11
CHANGING YOUR ENROLMENT
Change of course
Students wishing to change to another course should consult the
relevant Customer Service Officer. To change course you must
complete:
• an Enrolment Form for the new course, and
• a Change of Enrolment/ Withdrawal from Course Form (with the
Withdrawal from Course box ticked) to cancel your current course
(unless you wish to study both courses at the same time).
Your change of course must be authorised by the Team Leader/
Delegate of the new course to which you are transferring. If you have
completed any units that may be relevant to your new course, you
may need to apply formally for credit for these units towards your new
course by completing a Credit Transfer Form. A credit transfer is not
an automatic transaction unless your previous studies were with CDU
(NTU or Centralian College) and it is your responsibility to ensure that
your record is correct. While you are enrolled in more than one course,
you cannot seek credit transfer for units that have not been completed
successfully in one course towards another course.
For any questions, please contact:
Customer Service Officer. Contact details are listed on the back of your
Enrolment and Fees Advice - Invoice.

Skills Recognition - Recognition of Prior
Learning (RPL)
RPL is the acknowledgement of a person's skills and knowledge
acquired through previous training, work or life experience, which may
be used to grant status or credit in a subject regardless of how and
where they were attained, including overseas. This can include skills
from:
• previous study excluding courses at another VET/TAFE institution,
but including courses at school or college
• through adult education classes or training programs at work
• work experience (including both paid and unpaid work); and/or
• life experience (for example, leisure pursuits or voluntary work).
RPL is a form of assessment. It is used to determine if a person has
gained, through formal or informal learning, the skills and experience
consistent with the stated competency standards that make up a
qualification. RPL is not linked to time, so there are no limits on
how or when the skills were acquired. However, the skills that have
been acquired through life experience, for example, must be current
and must match the Elements and Performance Criteria contained
in the individual unit. Students seeking RPL should indicate this on
their enrolment form when enrolling. For further information on VET
 CHANGING YOUR ENROLMENT

in units they may not need to undertake. To apply for credit transfer
from units completed at another training organisation, complete
an Application for Credit Transfer (Recognition of Previous Studies)
Form available from any campus, Centre, Team or www.cdu.edu.au/
studentnet/adminforms.
Your completed Application for Credit Transfer (Recognition of

your request for credit transfer, should be submitted directly to the

WHAT FEES DO I NEED TO PAY?
Students undertaking VET courses at CDU usually are charged a fee.

Domestic and international students pay different fees. A person
enrolling for study is considered a domestic student if they are:
