News

According to new University policy, Special Examinations will be held within two weeks of the release of results, starting Semester 2, 2009. Supplementary Examinations will also be held then. The specific dates are the 9-11 December.

These arrangements will apply for future years as well (with Special/Supplementary exams for semester 1 being held at the end of 0-week semester 2).

Contact your student representative in the Students' Representative Committee(SRC), who will represent you at the SoCS School Forum. The forum deals with general issues such as teaching infrastructure and policies. It generally meets towrds the end of each semester.

Get Involved! CS Student Groups

The Computer Science Students Association is for all computing students, providing technical, social and networking support.

The Women in Engineering and Information Technology forum organizes workshops, social events and mentoring for female CS and Engineering students.

SoCS Student Handbook

The School of Computer Science Student Handbook (PDF, 655Kb) tells you lots of things you need to know about studying computing subjects, assessment policies, what's acceptable group work, what's not acceptable (and might be counted as plagiarism), how to appeal results, how to have your voice heard.

First Year students will get a printed copy of this handbook in their Information Pack. New students should also receive a Student Computing Environment User Guide . Spare copies are available from the noticeboard area outside the CSIT Labs, or through the SoCS Office.

Other documents: ANU Undergraduate Handbook, SoCS Assignment Cover Sheet

Other important things you are expected to know about: ANU Code of Practice for Teaching and Learning, ANU Academic Honesty and Plagiarism.

Some Notes on Assessment Issues

• In any course, the ANU Academic Honesty and Plagiarism policy applies, whether that course explicitly warns against plagiarism and/or `unacceptable collaboration' or not.
• All courses will provide an Assessment Scheme indicating how final marks will be calculated. It should be noted however that final marks in any course may be scaled by the Course Examiner, for example as a result of advice from the School's Examiner's Meetings.

In Need of Financial Support?

The College has limited scholarships for current undergraduates.
