cse CSE Elite Student Programme
The Programme is loosely based on an old Faculty of Engineering Elite Student Policy.
Students in this programme may apply to vary their program to a limited extent by substituting core or non-core courses for courses which emphasise one of the following areas: design, project work, technical depth, general breadth, or research.
Applications will be considered, provided:
In all cases, the CSE Program Authority reserves the right to reject any application it deems unsuitable or inappropriate.
Note: substitutions may impact on the weighted average calculation used to determine the level of honours on completion of some programs. See weighted average principles governing the relevant award for full details on the impact of varying program requirements.
At the start of each calendar year the Student Office will invite eligible students to join the program. A copy of the program guidelines will be provided. A register of students in this program will be maintained internally. [investigating options for a way to have these students registered in NSS instead]
Elite students will be able to apply [via myCSE] for approval to vary their program in accordance with the above guidelines. They will be asked to describe how their substitution will emphasise one of the areas outlined in the policy.
The CSE Student Office will check compliance before forwarding the application to the relevant Program Director for approval, and will notify the student of the outcome of their application.
At the end of each calendar year, the Student Office will review the performance of participants in the Elite Student Programme. Those who have not maintained a WAM of 85 or more will be removed from the program. Any prior substitutions will be honoured provided that the student completed the substituted course successfully.
