Policies
Enrolment at the Southern School of Natural Therapies is conditional on adherence to the policies and procedures published at:
In particular, please refer to the Admissions Policy and Enrolment Policy.
Summer School, 2020/2021 subject selection and enrolment
Subject selection opens from week 10 for most courses, correspondence will be sent to students closer to the date to confirm which subjects will be offered in Summer School.
You can enrol and register for classes in your Student Portal.
Q: I am enrolled to study on campus, but classes are currently being delivered online. What subjects do I need to select?
It's important that you select your subject as per your normal study mode, whether you are a domestic or international student. This means that:
- If you are enrolled as an online student, you'll continue selecting your online classes
- If you are enrolled as an on-campus student, you'll need to select your subjects as if you were still on-campus and attend those classes online at the allocated time
Please note that if you have selected on-campus subjects, you will be moved to on campus study as soon as face to face classes resume.
For the foreseeable future, we will continue to deliver all subjects online to ensure the safety of our staff and students while concerns about the spread of COVID19 remain.
Q: I am an international student, so I am only allowed to study one third of my course online. However, all of my classes are currently being delivered online, which means I will exceed this limit. Will this impact my student visa or my ability to graduate?
Due to COVID-19, authorities have provided assurance that exceptions are being made to the usual attendance requirements. This means that there is flexibility around the amount of study an international student is able to do online at present.
As long as students remain enrolled with their provider and the assessment requirements of the course allow it, authorities will be flexible on the location of the student, the mode of delivery, and accept that minimum face-to-face teaching requirements may not be met at this time.
When face to face classes resume, it is expected that some level of restriction to the amount of online study international students are allowed to undertake will be applied from the date classes resume.
