10/12/2009 1 2010 FICT program planning information session Dr James Hamlyn-Harris Bachelor of Computing I057 Thursday 8th October How to do your own re-enrolment Welcome to the re-enrolment training session for Bachelor of Computing. Why do you need to be here? •You may be unsure of what units make up your course. •You may have failed a unit and need to "catch up". •You may have special conditions placed on your enrolment. •You may want to accelerate your course using summer or winter units. •Units you expected to do may have disappeared. •New units may have become available. If you mess it up: Things that can go wrong: •Enrol in units that are not running. •Enrol in units that do not count toward your degree. •Enrol in units without completing the pre-requisites. •Results in premature un-enrolment or failure •Enrol in units you have already done (under another name/code) •Costs you more money •Degree takes longer •Academic record looks bad to employers It is YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to be enrolled in the correct units. These are the steps: 1. Confirm which program you are enrolled in. 2. Check the rules of the program. 3. Find out which major you are doing. 4. Find the list of compulsory units in your program. 5. Check your progress. 6. Plan which compulsory units you will do in 2010. 7. (Choose electives for 2010) 8. Check pre-requisites. 9. Check that the units run in sem. 1, 2, etc. 10. Check that the lectures don't clash. 1. Confirm which program you are enrolled in. There are many Bachelors of Computing, with different rules for each one. 2005-2008 – I052 (streamed version) 2009 – I057 (Majors and Minors version) 2007-2008 – I055 (Network Design & Security badge) 2009 – I058 (ND&S M&M version) 2010 – I030, I031, I032 (various BICT versions) How do you check? 1. Confirm which program you are enrolled in. http://my.swinburne.edu.au 10/12/2009 2 1. Confirm which program you are enrolled in Student ID ProgramClick on MyResults 2. Check the rules of the program You need to know what the compulsory units are. What rules restrict your choice of electives? Do you have loading rules? Check course finder: Select Local Students Select Search all Courses Type in Bachelor of Computing (or I057) Click on the one you want (I057) Read the rules (or the next slide) 2. Check the rules of the program Rules (I057): • 300 credit points (24 units) + HIT0004 Careers in the Curriculum • made up of: • 200 credit point (16 unit) Major: • Business Computing or • Network Design & Security or • Multimedia & Games Development or • Software Technology • 100 credit points (8 units) of exemptions, Advanced Minors, Minors or free electives (if less than 4 units remaining) 2. Check the rules of the program Rules (I057): • Must complete (or be exempted from) all units in one of the Majors. • Remaining units may be anything – electives, exemptions, Minors or Advanced Minors. Notes: • No further exemptions will be granted after your first semester. • No changing Major after first year units completed. 3. Find out which major you are doing. Have you completed HIT2425 Business Systems Programming or HIT2411 Data Communications and Networks or HIT2405 Requirements Analysis and Modelling? You're doing Business Computing. Have you completed HET104 LAN principles or HET410 System Administration? You're doing Network Design and Security 3. Find out which major you are doing. Have you completed HIT1312 Computer & Logic Essentials or HIT2313 Computer Systems? You're doing Software Technology Have you completed HET215 Multimedia Applications or HET238 3D Modelling or HET325 Principles of Game Design? You're doing Multimedia and Games Development. 10/12/2009 3 3. Find out which major you are doing. None of the above? Have you completed HIT2037 Software Development in Java? Yes? You must choose Software Tech, MM & Games or ND & S No? You can choose from all four Majors. 4. Find the list of compulsory units in your program. Check the lists on course finder (about ¼ down the page) or check here: http://www.swinburne.edu.au/ict/students/ugreenrol/program.html Select Bachelor of Computing I057 2009. Each column represents one of the Majors. Rows marked Minor and Advanced Minor are available for electives (in sets of Minors) You must complete one column completely. 5. Check your progress. 1. Print the program planner or the relevant parts of the course finder entry 2. Go back to My.Swinburne and observe your results so far 3. Mark off each completed unit on your program planner. 1. Add the mark / result to the planner. 2. Mark off matched electives against the compulsory unit you were exempted from. 3. Mark off unmatched (XMNICT00n) electives against Minor or Advanced Minor electives. If you have been awarder a CP result, the unit counts toward your degree but it will not count as a pre-requisite. 5. Check your progress. The following units will need to have a clear pass: BC: HIT1404, HIT1401, HIT1402, HIT2405, HIT3406, HIT3407, HIT3409, HIT3410 ST: HIT1404, HIT1402, HIT1307, HIT2037, HIT2308, HIT1312 ND&S: HIT1404, HET104, HIT1307, HIT2037, HIT2308, HET410 (if doing HIT3703 or HIT3703) MM&GD: HIT1404, HIT1307, HIT2037, HIT2308 5. Check your progress. If you have been awarded a CP for one of these critical pre- requisites, you must apply in writing to FICT Admin to have the mark changed to N (fail), after which you must repeat the unit. 6. Plan which compulsory units you will do in 2010. • Choose the next four remaining units in your program. • Generally they should be completed in the sequence shown on the course planner. • However, if the unit is not offered in the next semester, you may have to swap it with another unit in your Major. • Summer and Winter offerings can be found here: http://www.swinburne.edu.au/studentoperations/summer-winter/units/ict/index.html 10/12/2009 4 7. Choose electives for 2010 • If there are uncompleted rows for Minor electives, you may need to choose a minor to study. Some ICT units can be found on the Course Finder page for the program – look for the Advanced Minors. • You will not be able to complete an ICT Minor. • Non-ICT Minors are published by other faculties and can be found by looking up other degrees on Course Finder. • Most student choose other ICT units, but there is no requirement that these electives be ICT units. • If you already have 8 unmatched electives, you will have no electives to choose – you only need to complete the Major. Summer and Winter offerings from other faculties can be found here: http://www.swinburne.edu.au/studentoperations/summer-winter/units/index.html 8. Check pre-requisites Go to Course Finder, and click on the Unit Search. • For each unit you are going to enrol in, check it's pre- requisites in Unit Search. • A co-requisite means that the required unit may be either completed before or concurrently with the dependant unit. • If you have not completed the pre-requisites for a unit, or are not enrolling in a co-requisite, you cannot attempt that unit. • If it is an elective, choose something else. • If it is a compulsory unit, enrol in the pre-requisite instead. • If the pre-requisite is not in your course, consult with your program manager (Jacqui Martin) or program convenor. You may have completed an equivalent unit. 9. Check that the units run Go to http://allocate.swin.edu.au/aplus/aptimetable Look up each unit in the next semester. Make sure that each unit you intend to enrol in is actually running in the required semester. Semesters are now called teaching periods in MySwinburne. The timetabling system uses a third naming scheme. Here is the key: Semester 1 = Teaching Period 1 = S1 (TP1) Semester 2 = Teaching Period 5 = S2 (TP5) Summer Term = TP8 = TA (examined before new year) or TP0 = TB (examined after new year) Winter Term = TP4 = WT 9. Check that the units run If you find that the unit is not available in the right semester, you need to return to steps 6 or 7 and revise your plan. Some units have been discontinued, re-named or replaced by equivalent units. Your program manager will be able to advise you what to do if this happens. Make sure that you have the pre-requisites to attempt any units you choose as alternatives. 10. Check that the lectures don't clash Return to the timetable builder at http://allocate.swin.edu.au/aplus/aptimetable Select each unit (the one in the chosen semester), and click Add to copy it to the lower box. Repeat the search for each of the units that semester. 10. Check that the lectures don't clash When all of the semester's units you have chosen to study are in the lower box, scroll down and select Lectures and click on the Grid icon. Allocate will display a timetable showing the times of each lecture. 10/12/2009 5 10. Check that the lectures don't clash Check that the lectures for any two units do not clash. You must be able to get to one of each type of lecture. Large units will have a choice but some will not. If there is no clash, you can now fill in the enrolment form. Some recent changes • HIT3712 has been replaced by • HIT3702 Enterprise Network Server Administration (sem 1) or HIT3703 Enterprise Services and Security (sem 2). The pre-requisites have not changed. • HET307 has been replaced by • HET317 Network security and resilience • HET208 has been replaced by • HET238 3D Modelling • HIT3421 Database Implementation is no-longer offered. • Do HIT3422 Database Performance Issues (sem 2). • HIT3416 now has prerequisites of HIT3407, HIT3409 and HIT3410 2010 FICT program planning information session Jacqui Martin Coordinator, Students and Programs (Undergraduate) Online re-enrolment system www.swinburne.edu.au/ict/enrolment/ Online re-enrolment system After the completion of today’s session you will be emailed the link and instructions on how to complete your 2010 online re-enrolment.
