This is the last date you can add an enrolment to the semester. This is the last date you can drop a subject from your enrolment for that semester and not be charged for the subject. Dropping a subject will remove it entirely from your transcript of results and fee invoice for the semester. Please note that you can no longer personally remove the final subject from a semester. If you are enrolled in one subject only in a given semester, this will need to be dropped on your behalf. W Date: End of Semester: Assessments Due: Results Published: This is the last date you can withdraw from a subject and receive a W grade. You will still be charged fully for the subject, but will not receive a Fail grade a W grade will instead appear on your transcript of results for the semester. If you re-enrol in the subject at a later date, you will be charged fully for the subject again. This is when the semester officially concludes on the University calendar. This is the final date to submit your assessments for the semester, and is available on your course description. Late assessments will only be accepted if you have applied for Special Consideration and received an extension to the due date. Students who have not submitted by this date automatically receive a fail grade for the subject. If you anticipate not being able to complete by the date specified on your course description, it is advisable to drop the subject from your enrolment, but be mindful of when it will next be offered. This is the date that your results will officially be released via your MySC account. Results go through a formal approvals process at the Faculty level once they have been marked by coordinator, and cannot be released prior to this date. If you do not have access to enrolment in each of these terms, please fost@federation.ed.au with your student ID number and advise that you do not have access.

ENMIN7091 Research Project 1 ENMIN7092 Research Project 2 ENMIN7093 Research Project 3 This course equips participants with advanced knowledge and deep understanding of the methodology and procedure followed to design and conduct research projects. The course has been designed to deliver graduates with highly developed analytical, critical and communication skills who can perform autonomously, and who are fully qualified to readily engage in further learning and research endeavours. This course is intended to monitor and assist students` progress in the second semester of their major research project. Students will have to produce update submissions to highlight their progress and demonstrate their advanced understanding of the topic being researched and their ability to synthesis solutions and apply deep comprehension of theory to practice. In this course, students utilise the experience and knowledge acquired from their study program to complete their projects and write theses on their findings. In the process, students will employ hands-on, analytical and computing skills relevant to their fields of studies
