Except with the permission of the Faculty a candidate may not take a higher unit of study in any unit of study without having previously completed the lower unit(s) of study in the same unit of study or some other unit(s) of study allowed by the Faculty to count as equivalent.

If a candidate for the degree fails or discontinues enrolment in one unit of study twice, the candidate may be asked to show good cause why he or she should be permitted to re-enrol in that unit of study.

The Faculty reserves the right not to place a student in a school or other professional experience setting for practicum in any instance where the performance, personal or professional conduct of the student does not meet the required standard, regardless of the fact that the student may be enrolled in the practicum.

Teachers and Principals are accountable to parents and school systems to provide quality learning opportunities and outcomes for pupils and they need to be confident that any student teachers placed under supervision in their schools can support and maintain teaching programs and standards.

Social work agencies are similarly accountable for their quality of service and need to be confident that any student placed under their supervision can meet all agency expectations in terms of performance and personal and professional conduct.

If a candidate for the degree fails to pass a minimum of 50 percent (equivalent to 24 credit points) of the program of enrolment in each of any two consecutive years of candidature he or she shall be deemed not to have made satisfactory progress in the degree.

A candidate who has completed work or a unit(s) of study towards a degree at this or another university, or towards an equivalent qualification at an appropriate institution, or as a non-award student, may be granted credit towards the degree of Bachelor of Education or the Bachelor of Social Work for up to half of the overall coursework requirements (96 credit points) provided that the content of the work or unit(s) of study is considered by the Faculty on the recommendation of the head of the school or department concerned to be equivalent to a unit(s) of study prescribed in section 1.

A candidate granted credit toward the degree under Section 6.1 shall:

count towards the degree all units of study so credited subject to the provisions of these resolutions;

not count toward the degree any unit(s) of study completed subsequently within the University of Sydney which overlaps substantially in content with the work or unit(s) of study upon which grant of credit was based;

complete all necessary qualifying units of study for the degree within such period of time and such number of years of candidature as the Faculty may determine having regard to the number of units of study credited, the length of time over which the unit(s) of study concerned were completed and the time limits for the completion of the degree prescribed under these resolutions.

Credit may be granted as specific or specified credit if the unit of study is considered to be directly equivalent to a unit of study in the Table of units of study for the Bachelor of Education or, Table of units of study for the Bachelor of Social Work or, in the case of the combined degrees, equivalent to a unit of study available for one of the degrees, or as non-specific or non-specified credit.

Unless otherwise permitted by Faculty a candidate shall not be granted credit towards the degree for or on the basis of any unit(s) of study:

completed more than five years prior to admission or re-admission to candidature for Bachelor of Education or combined Education students, and in the case of social work students, nine years;
