Springfield hosts mid-year information evening

A mid-year enrolment information night was held at USQ Springfield at the start of June.

The Mid-Year Information Evening, provided future students with the information they need to begin their studies.

USQ Springfield campus director Mr Doug Fraser said mid-year entry to university was becoming increasingly popular as prospective students required more flexibility in their studies.

'Mid-year entry is very attractive to school students who take some time off to work or relax when they finish school, or for older students who were simply unable to start their programs earlier,' Mr Fraser said.

'It is also relevant for mature-aged students who may wish to finish a qualification they had already started or to dip their toes into university studies for the first time.

'Although the academic year officially began in February, we have a mid-year entry option and also a semester three entry.

'It definitely isn’t too late to enrol at USQ and begin your studies.'

Mr Fraser said the Mid-Year Information Evening would give prospective students an opportunity to talk with academic and admissions staff about their options for beginning studies in semester two, as well as courses and programs available for mid-year entry.

'They can also discuss the entry requirements, how to apply, how to improve their tertiary eligibility, student support services and the USQ Tertiary Preparation Program (TPP) and credit for previous TAFE studies for students who may not have the relevant qualifications already,' he said.

'I would encourage anyone interested in studying to come along to the Mid-Year Information Evening and find out more about the campus, programs and university life. Bremer TAFE will also be attending the evening and providing information on their courses and study options.'

Anyone wishing to enrol at USQ is invited to apply via the Queensland Tertiary Admissions Centre (QTAC) website www.qtac.edu.au .
