FAQs

Do I have to move to the new course?

No. You can remain in your current course. The subjects that were available when you first started your course will no longer be on offer – instead, they will have been replaced by an equivalent subject from the new course. Your study plan will be updated with the equivalent subjects. Please review the subject substitution list for more detail.

What do I do if I want to move to the new course?

Current Bachelor of Arts in Communication students who would like to move to the new Bachelor of Communication courses need to apply via UAC.

I’m in a Bachelor of Arts in Communication combined course and wish to drop the combined component of my course (International Studies, Creative Intelligence and Innovation or Law). What do I need to do?

As long as you’re planning to remain in the same major, you can submit an internal course transfer application.

Please note the following:

  • Students who were admitted into a combined International Studies or Creative Intelligence course (pre-2016) will be transferred to the pre-2016 version of the single degree – Bachelor of Arts in Communication (all majors). This will allow those students to complete with the right course for the subjects they have completed.
  • Students who were admitted into a Law combined course (pre-2016) will be transferred to the current version of the course - the Bachelor of Communication. This will allow those students to complete with the right course for the subjects they have completed.

Where can I find information on the new Bachelor of Communication course?

Please check the Online Handbook for information on the Bachelor of Communication suite of courses.
