Q. When are the lectures and tutorials?
A. There are usually three hours of lectures and one hour of tutorial each week.
The times and locations of lectures and tutorials can be found in the course profile (look up your course at
http://www.maths.uq.edu.au/courses). Find locations at the
university map. Timetables are
also listed at SI net.
Q. How do I get a password for the computer
lab?
A. Computer accounts are issued only to students who are enrolled
in courses which use the labs as part of teaching. See the Course Profile
to see if there is a computer component in your courses.
Q. Where do I submit my assignments?
A. Usually you will hand in your assignments at the tutorial session.
Late assignments will not be accepted without reasons. Some courses may
require you to submit at another time - the details will be given in
lectures. Make sure your assignments include Student name, student
number, course code, tutorial group.
Q. Where can I go for help if I have personal problems?
A. If you feel that problems in your life are interfering with your
university performance, you should consult Student Support Servicesin the Student Union complex. They offer academic and personal support
in a confidential environment for free to students. They will help with
personal counselling, careers counselling, learning assistance, disability
support, financial assistance, UQ-link support and international student
support. They can provide a letter to give to lecturers which
will help your case for a special exam (there is no longer
special consideration for examinations), but do not leave it
too late.
If you are concerned about privacy with regard to medical certificates,
please contact the University Health Service. With your permission,
the Director will contact your treating practitioner to clarify the extent of
your medical condition or other incapacity, and provide lecturers with a
report - the Director is bound by confidentiality obligations. In
any case, this course of action if preferred as academics
are not qualified to assess medical evidence. The procedure outlined here
accords with the University's policy on student privacy and
confidentiality.
