05.01.2022 JCU is continuing to respond to the evolving COVID-19 situation and are putting measures in place to assist students with changes to learning and teaching arran...gements. A key priority has been placed on ensuring students complete their courses in the normal time frame, with as little disruption as possible. Please see some new updates below: Course coordinator and subject coordinators will keep students informed of learning materials and attendance requirements through LearnJCU or email. Amended Subject Outlines will be available tomorrow via LearnJCU. Please read this and ensure you are familiar with any changes made to your attendance requirements, subject delivery, and assessment or learning outcomes. Census Date for Study Period 1, 2020 has been extended to April 14 (originally March 26). The JCU Student Centre is open but will stop face-to-face counter service from Monday 30 March. Services will still be available by calling 1800 246 446 (free call) or via other channels - https://bit.ly/2UhJuyP To reduce the pressure on students, particularly those who feel their academic performance might be adversely affected by online delivery, we will be implementing a simplified grading system for subjects commenced before 27 July 2020. Further details on this can be found in the email that has been sent to all students today. A notification of Extenuating Circumstances form has been introduced for students to use for a number of processes whereby supporting documentation like a medical certificate and/or letter from a health professional may have been required in the past. This form enables you to self-declare your circumstances for your application.
