The Pathways Enabling Course is a program of study for students with limited or no educational background for admission to an undergraduate course at UNE. It is available for students who believe that completion of this enabling course will make them better prepared to successfully undertake an undergraduate course with an ATAR requirement of 77.10 or lower.
Completion of the Pathways Enabling Course provides the basis for admission to most undergraduate courses at UNE.
Domestic students are exempt from the student contribution amount for HECS.
To be eligible for the Pathways Enabling Course you must fall under one of the following circumstances;
*
You left school before completing the HSC or equivalent, and have been working for at least 12 months; or
*
You have completed the HSC or equivalent, but your high school results were too low to gain entry to a university degree program; or
*
You have completed your high school education and have been in the workforce for a number of years, and have no other entry path into university; or
*
You have not formally studied before, and you wish to build your academic skills to ensure your success at university study; or
*
You have partially complete prior studies and need to enhance your academic skills.
Students receive mentoring and additional tutorial support in the Foundation units (FNDN101 and FNDN102). If you complete Listed Units in the Pathways Enabling Course, which are part of the course in which you later choose to enrol, you will receive advanced standing for those units. The two Foundation units (FNDN101 and FNDN102) include many assessment tasks that support you to develop your abilities. Results in these units are grades satisfactory or unsatisfactory. FNDN101 and FNDN102 do not count towards any course but provide students with the skills and confidence required for successful undergraduate study.
