Residential Schools

Residential Schools give external students the opportunity to attend campus for face-to-face lectures and tutorials, use of the facilities and to meet staff and other students.

Do I have to attend?

While the majority of residential schools are voluntary, some are compulsory. Check the schedules page to see if the course you are enrolled in offers a Residential School.

When are they held?

Students should refer to the 2008 or 2009 Residential School schedule for individual program and course dates, including information for external students enrolled with the Centre for Australian Indigenous Knowledges.
