Facilitations

At the point of selecting to study a unit, you will have the opportunity to register in different types of scheduled facilitated events, or ‘facilitations’. These facilitations are real-time student events run by staff or faculty, designed to assist you with your learning and the requirements of the unit.

Facilitation Types

Facilitations may be offered in various formats such as: lectures, tutorials, discussions, or other such types, in both online and in-person formats.

Some unit facilitations may be compulsory as students are required to complete a task or demonstrate a skill, while others may be optional. Not all units have scheduled facilitations but the available options will be clearly indicated on the unit schedules so you can plan your choice and time.

There are four types of scheduled facilitation options:

In-Person Facilitation

Attend a local state-based facilitation (local time zone)

Online Facilitation

Attend a national online facilitation through Zoom (AEDT/AEST)

Hybrid Facilitation

Attend a state-based facilitation that will also be available online through Zoom (local time zone)

No Facilitation

Do not attend a facilitated event

Facilitation FAQs

Changing Facilitations

Students wishing to change or withdraw from facilitations after the point of registration can do so using the Withdrawals and Changes form. Please ensure you check the key dates to determine if incidental fees may be applied.

Are Facilitations Recorded?

Generally, facilitations will not be recorded. However, allowances may be made for special circumstances under the ACOM Recording Policy (see Privacy Policy and Student Handbook). While watching recordings of missed facilitations may assist with student learning, it will not be considered as a substitute for attending the real-time facilitation.
