The above responsibilities also apply to students studying the ɬÀï·¬Bachelor of Games and Virtual Worlds (Programming) at the AIE in Canberra, Adelaide, Melbourne and Sydney.

Students' responsibilities are to:

  • treat other students and staff with respect and fairness in a culturally sensitive, tolerant, non-discriminatory and non-bullying/harassing manner
  • manage their own learning and be aware of requirements set out in the subject guide
  • participate constructively in the teaching-learning environment, and maintain steady academic progress
  • complete all assessment tasks honestly without cheating, plagiarism or copyright violations
  • use information technology and other equipment safely, appropriately and legitimately. This includes respectful behaviour towards ɬÀï·¬students and staff when online including social media sites
  • never enter any ɬÀï·¬campus with illegal drugs or weapons or while under the influence of illegal drugs, cannabis or alcohol
  • follow ɬÀï·¬procedures to appeal assessment decisions or seek to resolve concerns or complaints
  • adhere to any learning contracts; behaviour contracts or academic intervention plans for international students
  • all students are required to follow the ɬÀï·¬Student Code of Conduct (PDF 265Kb).

Failure to meet these responsibilities, by either students or staff, will be addressed in the most appropriate manner including counselling, or if an ongoing concern, disciplinary action.
