educational experience based on
hands-on learning. Our philosophy is
simple: The best way for you to learn
about human interaction is to interact.

effective communication and team
management skills, or get the
qualifications you need to practise

worker, coach or social worker our aim
is to produce graduates who can take
the skills they learn at ACAP and apply
them immediately in the workforce.
You can choose to study on-campus
at one of our centrally located city
campuses, by online delivery or

support team will provide you with
the necessary academic and personal
support throughout your studies to
achieve your goals.

Manage my enrolment
What units am I enrolled in?
Once you have logged into the online
student portal you will be able to access ‘My
Enrolment’. As this is your first trimester you
have already been enrolled into your units.
What is a full-time or part-time study load?
A full-time load is 3 units whether you are
studying by Online Delivery or On-Campus.
(or 2 units if studying the Graduate
Diploma of Counselling).
A part-time load is 1–2 units whether
you are studying by Online Delivery or
On-Campus.
Each unit requires 9–12 hours of study
per unit per week (including time in class).
It is not recommended for students
to undertake a full-time load if
working full-time.
Can I gain credit for studies I
have completed?
You may be eligible to have your past
studies and/or work experience credited
towards your course.
This means that you could be exempt from
some of the units listed in your course
sequence guide and be able to complete
your course in a shorter period of time.
Please note: you must be an enrolled
student with ACAP before you can apply
for Credit. For further information, view

managing-my-course/a-z-policies/
If I’m studying on campus where do I
find my timetable?
Class timetables are updated throughout
the year as classes are finalised. Students
are advised to use the timetable and the
yearly planner as a tool to plan their
enrolment each trimester, and for the
coming year. You can find class
timetables here:
http://www.acap.edu.au/current-students/

blended delivery units are required to
undertake activities, assessment, and
self-study through the online class
space as well as attend on campus as
well as real time (synchronous) online
sessions which are programmed
regularly throughout the trimester.
• Dates for on-campus and synchronous
online commitments are available
in advance so students can plan
their commitments around
attendance requirements.
• Each course may have different
on-campus requirements and specific
information is available on the website.
If you are enrolled in a course offered by
multiple delivery modes you can change
your mode of study each trimester to suit
your circumstances or to suit the nature
of the unit. However, you cannot change
the study mode of the unit mid-way
through the trimester.
What is the Online Class Space?
The online class space is for all students
studying higher education qualifications

The online class spaces are facilitated by
experienced teaching staff who provide
students with feedback about their
knowledge, skills and academic writing.
