Inherent requirements are the essential components of a program or subject that demonstrate the abilities, knowledge and skills to achieve the core learning outcomes of the program or subject. 

Students with a disability or chronic health condition may be able to have reasonable adjustments made to enable them to meet these requirements.

ºÚÁÏÉç is committed to making reasonable adjustments to teaching and learning, assessment, placement and other activities to enable students' to participate in their program. Reasonable adjustments must not fundamentally change the nature of the inherent requirement.

Consideration is given to a student's cultural and religious background/beliefs, which may impact on participation in their program or subject. For further information contact your Director of Academic Program.

Inherent requirements are specific to a particular program. In the University context, compulsory requirements are broader and can include both compliance with the policies, procedures and regulations which are applicable to all students at the University but also the mandatory requirements associated with the program of study eg. attendance, completion of assignments.

Inherent requirements ensure the academic integrity of a program is maintained and preserves the University's learning, assessment and accreditation processes. They must be met by all students.

To successfully complete a program at ºÚÁÏÉç, you need to be able to meet all the inherent requirements. If you are applying for a program, you should read the inherent requirements carefully to ensure you are able to meet them. If you have a disability or chronic health condition, contact a Campus Disability Advisor to talk about the adjustments that may be put in place so you can meet the requirements.

We're currently working to identify inherent requirements for all ºÚÁÏÉç programs so you can make more informed choices. The available inherent requirements are listed below.
