STATEMENT OF ATTENDANCE & STATEMENT OF ATTAINMENT
Can I enrol in single units or individual workshops?
Yes, many of the one day workshops and full units are available for professional development.
Acceptance for Statement of Attendance or Statement of Attainment is dependent on the availability of places in these workshops after all PG Certificate, Diploma and Masters students have been accommodated.
Enrolment is through Access Macquarie Ltd which coordinates continuing education programs at Macquarie University.
All participants are required to complete the pre-reading and workshop task for each day of attendance. A Statement of Attendance will be issued to participants who attend a workshop or series of workshops without participating in any assessments.
A Statement of Attainment will be issued to participants who participate in assessment tasks and gain a Pass grade or better on each task. For an individual workshop, the assessment tasks are a pre-workshop task and a skills task. For a unit, the assessment tasks are a pre-workshop task for each workshop and two assignments (one written, one skill based). A Statement of Attainment for a full unit could be used at a later date for advanced standing in the Social Health program and might be accepted by other postgraduate courses.
An application form can be downloaded from the Social Health webpage or obtained from the Course Administrator (9850 7738; psychology.health@mq.edu.au). It is advisable to book early, but applications are accepted until one week before the workshop or start of a unit, subject to availability of a place.
What are the fees for Statements of Attendance and Attainment?
$250 + GST per workshop. For example, PSYS834 (Counselling) comprises 5 workshops the cost would be $1250. Applicants interested in participating in a number of units are advised to consider the cost saving option of the four unit PG Certificate of Social Health.
