About Sentir
Sentir in Spanish means ‘heart-felt knowing’, and it is one that
Saint Ignatius of Loyola used often. Sentir reflects our desire and purpose: to focus on the formation and
integration of the whole person — head and heart. Sentir is a College of the University of Divinity and
works with the National Centres of Ignatian Spirituality. Sentir:
• specialises in the study of Christian spirituality and pastoral formation for ministry;
• provides opportunities for on-going research;
• supervises praxis in specific spiritual traditions;
• collaborates with centres of spiritual formation including Campion Centre of Ignatian Spirituality
(Kew) and WellSpring Spirituality Centre (Ashburton).
Sentir is an interdisciplinary institute that commenced in 1999. A particular strength of Sentir is its
ecumenical focus. Students may choose semester units offered at other Colleges of the University of
Divinity, including the Australian Lutheran College, Catherine Booth College Catholic Theological
College, St Athanasius Coptic College, Pilgrim Theological College, Morling College, Sterling
Theological College, Yarra Theological Union and Whitley College.
Sentir aims at establishing a community of scholars, students and other people interested in the broad area
of spirituality from an ecumenical perspective. It is dedicated to promoting interest in Christian
spirituality, pastoral formation and their allied disciplines, and to providing the opportunity to develop
among its community of communities (ecclesial and academic) the means to further their research and
continuing study interests through formal and informal opportunities.

Handbook 2015
The University of Divinity
In 2014, the MCD University became known as the
University of Divinity. It provides unique
ecumenical opportunities for studies in theology. It
is the world’s oldest ecumenical degree granting
consortium, established in 1910 by the Parliament
of the State of Victoria. The University then
represented the Anglican, Baptist, Congregational,
Methodist and Presbyterian Churches. In 1972, the
Roman Catholic Church and the Churches of Christ joined. In 1993, the University affiliated with the
University of Melbourne. Today, the University of Divinity is a theologically diverse institution
committed to ecumenical cooperation in theological education in a way that enables each student to be
true to his or her own heritage and commitments, yet open to the enrichment of engagement with others
committed to the same journey.

FEE-HELP
Can my tuition fees be put on FEE-HELP?
Yes – if you are an Australian citizen, or hold a Permanent Humanitarian visa, you are eligible for a
Commonwealth Government FEE-HELP loan. The Commonwealth pays the the University of Divinity
for your studies, and your loan is repaid through the tax system. You are not required to begin repaying
your accumulated loan debt until your relevant taxable income is above $53,345. (2014-15 tax year), A
10% discount is applicable for any voluntary payment of $500 or more above the amount required in that
tax year. The FEE-HELP information booklet contains full details.
Persons classified as ‘Permanent Residents’ are not Australian citizens and therefore not eligible for FEEHELP. Citizens of other countries, including New Zealand, are not eligible for FEE-HELP. Proof of
Australian citizenship is required.
A separate FEE-HELP application is required to be completed for each course/degree if the FEE-HELP
scheme is to be used to settle your tuition fees. You need to do this once only to cover the duration of the
course.
Applying for FEE-HELP
If you wish to apply for FEE-HELP, please ask for (1) a Request for FEE-HELP Assistance form, and (2)
the FEE-HELP Information Booklet, by contacting:
The Registrar
Sentir
99 Studley Park Road
Kew VIC 3101
Tel: (+61 3) 9854 8110
Email: registrar@sentir.edu.au
Your completed Request for FEE–HELP assistance form should be sent back to the Sentir office with
your completed Application Form for your course of study. Once these two forms and certified
attachments (including academic transcripts) have been checked by the Dean of Sentir, they will be
forwarded to the University of Divinity.
IMPORTANT: If you wish to take out a FEE-HELP loan, you must complete a Request for FEE–HELP
assistance form on or before the Census date (mid-March for Semester I units and mid-August for
Semester II units). Failure to do so will result in you not being eligible for FEE–HELP assistance. Before
you sign the form, you must read the FEE–HELP information booklet so that you are aware of your
obligations under the scheme.
If you change your course of study at Sentir, you will need to submit a new Request for FEE-HELP
assistance form.
Repayment Thresholds
The minimum repayment threshold for compulsory repayment of a FEE-HELP loan is $53,345 (2014-15
tax year), indexed upwards each year. You will not be required to start repaying your debt through the tax
system until your income is above this level, which is indexed upwards each June.
Further details about FEE-HELP can be found at: www.divinity.edu.au.

Handbook 2015
Personal Growth & Spiritual Development
The vision of formation and education for the Sentir student includes both
• thorough academic learning and
• its integration through personal growth and spiritual development.
At Sentir, we prepare people to lead extraordinary lives by making the educational experience both
academically rigorous and personally transformative.
Critical study of the Christian tradition can often be a challenging experience for our students. Academic
courses expose students to information and analyses that have an impact on their self-understanding and
relationships, as well as on their faith and spirituality. For this reason, all students are offered
opportunities for personal growth and spiritual development where issues emerging from academic study
and other personal, social and spiritual concerns can be addressed.
The commitment of Sentir to the personal growth and spiritual development of its students is an essential
dimension of all our academic programs. We facilitate the integration of course content and spiritual
identity through opportunities for spiritual direction, retreats, and identity integration groups.
Sentir provides a variety of resources and experiences to students to help nurture and support their
personal growth and spiritual development. We offer safe, sensitive spaces where students are invited to
engage with and explore their potential and their vocations as lay, vowed or ordained ministers.
The offerings available include:
Spiritual direction – this is a ministry in which one person, the spiritual director, helps another, the
directee, become more aware of God's self-communication in his or her life, respond to that selfcommunication, and live out the gifts of that relationship. The directee usually has an individual one-hour
session once a month. Spiritual direction is open to all students and it is a requirement for students
pursuing the Graduate Diploma in Spiritual Direction and the Master of Arts (Spiritual Direction).
Where can I find a spiritual director?
Campion:
WellSpring:
+61 3 9854 8110
+61 3 9885 0277
Retreat programs Both Campion and WellSpring offer an extensive range of retreats that facilitate
personal growth and spiritual development. Often students pursuing the Graduate Diploma in Spiritual
Direction make the full Spiritual Exercises in Daily Life at Campion over 30 weeks.

Student Rights & Wellbeing
1. Right to privacy
All personal information provided to Sentir will be treated in confidence, and only used for the purpose
for which it was given. Your file and computer database entries are only accessed by people who are
entitled to do so, such as lecturers having a class list with names and emails. Staff at Sentir are not
permitted to share your personal information with anyone not entitled to it.
2. Right to the highest standards of teaching and learning
In order to protect the high academic standing of your University of Divinity degree or diploma, all forms
of cheating, plagiarism or other academic fraud (including illegitimate use of internet resources) are
strictly forbidden, and anyone found engaging in them faces serious consequences. To assist with this,
you are required to state on each assignment that it is your own work.
3. Right to be treated fairly
The right to be treated fairly is applicable to all academic and administrative matters. If you have a
grievance about an administrative procedure or academic issue, you have five working days (longer for
some serious matters) to lodge a complaint with the Dean of Sentir, or with the University of Divinity
Registrar. You will not be disadvantaged by doing this, and in most cases can expect a resolution within
10 working days.
4. Right to be safe, and feel safe
Students have the right to be and feel safe at Sentir. Harassment in
any form – spiritual, sexual or discriminatory (for example, on the
grounds of race, gender, ethnicity, disability, theological outlook) – is
wrong and not permitted. Procedures are in place to deal promptly
with situations that may arise.
5. Complaint procedure
If anyone should wish to file a complaint, they should contact the
Contact Officer for Grievance Procedures for Sentir (see below).
Once you have commenced a degree or diploma, you are assured that
educational and financial resources are in place to see you through to
its completion. If the highly unlikely situation arises that Sentir
cannot deliver a course for which you have paid fees, these will be
refunded, or you can transfer to another provider nominated for this
purpose by the University of Divinity. Detailed policies and procedures governing these matters can be
found on the University of Divinity website, under ‘Policies for University of Divinity Student
Wellbeing’.
6. Contact Officer for Grievance Procedures
Associate Professor Marie Joyce OAM is the Contact Officer for Grievance Procedures for Sentir
Graduate College of Spiritual Formation. She has retired from Australian Catholic University where she
was Head of the School of Psychology. She is a Fellow of the Australian Psychology Society (APS) and
was for a number of years a member of the Ethics Committee of the APS. She is available to discuss any
issue of harassment or discrimination. She can provide advice and information on a confidential basis,
and if necessary assist a complainant in dealing with any issues which the latter may wish to have
resolved.

Handbook 2015
Graduate Diploma in Spiritual Direction
Spiritual direction is the process by which a skilled person helps another grow in intimacy with God. It
has a long and revered history in the Christian tradition. We understand spiritual direction as a ministry
within the church open to properly trained lay people, religious and ordained ministers. The Graduate
Diploma in Spiritual Direction (GDSD) provides formation for those who feel called to the ministry of
spiritual direction and who wish to practise it as a major part of their ministry with a sense of recognised
professional competence.
Entry requirements
Admission to the Graduate Diploma in Spiritual Direction shall be open to an applicant who:
(a)
has completed a degree in theology, or has graduated from an Australian University (or its
overseas equivalent) with equivalent qualifications to a theological degree; and
(b)
has demonstrated a gift in the area of spiritual guidance. This could be evidenced by an ability to
listen empathically and enter sensitively into spiritual conversation with others.
Structure
The Graduate Diploma in Spiritual Direction can only be completed over two years part-time. The
program comprises six 15-point units. As this course involves a high level of practice of spiritual
direction under supervision, there is no provision for distance learning in this program. Student will
complete the following units:
i) 60 points foundational units in the field of Spiritual Direction; and
ii) Two Elective units in the field of Spirituality or Spiritual Direction
Practicum
Much contemporary research points to the central role of the interpersonal relationship as a core element
in the helping process. A spiritual director needs to be able to enter into a relationship with a directee in a
facilitative way and not have major blocks to relationship development. A spiritual director also needs to
have had the experience of being directed. Each candidate is therefore required to have regular spiritual
direction throughout the program. There is a strong emphasis on the personal development of the
candidate in the program because we view the personal experience and growth of the spiritual director as
the most important source of knowledge for one engaged in the ministry of spiritual direction.
There are two possible “streams” in the practicum component of the program. One stream is offered at
Campion Centre of Ignatian Spirituality and the other is offered at WellSpring Spirituality Centre.
Fee information
In 2015, the cost per unit is $2,052 Australian domestic students. International students cost per unit is

Graduate Diploma in Spirituality
Why undertake the Graduate Diploma in Spirituality?
The study of spirituality as an academic discipline has been increasing in schools of divinity over the last
decade or so. There is an increasing recognition of the importance of spirituality among the theological
disciplines, not only because of its popularity among students and scholars, but because of the way in
which it promises to be a truly interdisciplinary field of theological scholarship in dialogue with some of
the central concerns of our time.
The Colleges of the University of Divinity currently offer a broad range of units in spirituality. The
Graduate Diploma in Spirituality (GDS) allows students to study spirituality as an academic discipline
and choose units from the various RTIs as part of the Graduate Diploma in Spirituality.
The Graduate Diploma in Spirituality does not equip a student to become a spiritual director. Those
wishing to prepare for the ministry of spiritual direction should explore the Graduate Diploma in
Spiritual Direction, details of which may be found elsewhere on the Sentir website.
Entry requirements
Admission to the Graduate Diploma in Spirituality shall be open to an applicant who has completed a
degree in theology, or has graduated from an Australian University (or its overseas equivalent) with
equivalent qualifications to a theological degree.
Structure
The Graduate Diploma in Spirituality can be completed over one year full-time or two years part-time.
The program comprises six 15-point
units. There is no provision for distance
learning in this program.
Fee information
In 2015, the cost per unit is $2,052
Australian domestic students.
International students cost per unit is
$2,132 plus an application fee of $180
Where does the Graduate Diploma in
Spirituality lead?
Graduates of the course may apply to be
accepted into the University of Divinity
Master of Arts degree. The Master of
Arts is offered in two modes, namely
Coursework and Research:
1.
Master of Arts (Spirituality) is a coursework degree that can be undertaken either as six
postgraduate coursework units or as four postgraduate units plus 12,000-word research essay.
2.
Master of Arts by Research consists of two postgraduate units plus 25,000-word minor research
thesis.
- 17 -
Handbook 2015
The research mode requires applicants to have completed a 12,000-word essay of Distinction standard,
demonstrating capacity for research. (If such an essay has not been taken elsewhere, it may be included in
the Graduate Diploma in Spirituality as the elective unit.)

Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)
The study of spirituality as an academic discipline has been increasing in schools of divinity over the last
decade or so. There is an increasing recognition of the importance of spirituality among the theological
disciplines because it promises to be a truly interdisciplinary field of theological scholarship in dialogue
with some of the central concerns of our time.
Sentir is keen to support students who wish to study spirituality and spiritual direction at the doctoral
level.
Why undertake the Doctor of Philosophy?
A Doctor of Philosophy requires extended study and intense intellectual effort. To earn a PhD, a student
must accomplish two things:
1.
master a specific subject completely;
2.
extend the body of knowledge about that subject.
A few questions to ask
Because studying for a PhD degree is a major commitment in a person’s life, he or she needs to carefully
explore the motivation for undertaking such study before commencing. If you are deciding whether or
not to pursue a PhD, the following questions might be useful:
1.
Do you want a research career?
Before enrolling in a PhD, you should carefully consider your long-term goals. Because earning a PhD is
training for research, you should ask yourself whether a research position is your long-term goal. If it is, a
PhD degree is the standard path to your chosen career.
2.
Do you want an academic position?
Most universities require faculty members to have a PhD. Faculty need the expertise a PhD brings in
order to teach advanced courses.
3.
Do you have what it takes?
The following guidelines and questions may be of help:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Did you do well in your undergraduate and graduate courses?
Are you prepared to tackle a project larger than any you have undertaken before?
Are you prepared to commit to at least three full years of study?
Are you willing to reduce or forego other activities?
Are you creative?
Do you have a natural curiosity that will enable you to explore on your own?
Can you adapt to new ways of thinking?
Can you tolerate searching for answers even when no one knows the precise questions?
Are you self-motivated enough to keep working toward a goal without day-to-day
encouragement?
If you do a PhD, you will have the freedom to set your own goals, determine your daily schedule, and
follow interesting ideas. Are you prepared to accept the responsibility that accompanies the additional
freedoms? Your success or failure in a PhD research depends on it.
- 27 -
Handbook 2015
Finding a good supervisor
One of the keys to a successful completion of a PhD is finding a good supervisor with whom you can
work. Sentir will assist a student who is wishing to do a PhD in the field of Christian spirituality and
praxis to find a supervisor who can work with him or her.
Admission & Enrolment
A person may seek the permission of the Board of the University of Divinity to be admitted as a
probationary candidate for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy if he or she:
1.
has obtained, or is qualified to obtain, at a standard deemed acceptable by the Board, a research
Master's degree of the College or the University of Melbourne, or an equivalent qualification from
a university or college recognised by the Council for the purposes of the degree of Doctor of
Philosophy, or
2.
has obtained an exceptional level of relevant professional attainment recognised by the Council
for the purposes of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy; or
3.
has obtained, or is qualified to obtain, the Bachelor of Theology, Bachelor of Divinity or Master of
Divinity degrees of the College with First Class Honours; or
4.
has obtained, or is qualified to obtain, the degree of Master of Theological Studies of the College

2. evaluate their capacity to adapt the dynamics of the Spiritual Exercises to particular exercitants
3. apply the Rules for Discernment of Spirits and identity the ways in which ‘spirits’ work in an
exercitant
4. articulate and evaluate the decision-making process outlined in the Exercises
5. show a discerned awareness of his or her gifts and abilities and an acceptance of his or her limits
as an Ignatian retreat director, as evidenced in self-acceptance and non-defensiveness in

hour a day over eight days or once a week for eight weeks. The student will also meet with his or her
supervisor once a day or once a week for individual supervision.

development of skills, attitudes and knowledge in both those in formation and experienced practitioners. .
This five-day intensive unit aims to help ministers grow in the competencies necessary to individually
supervise others in ministry.
Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this unit, it is expected that students will be able to:
1. Define individual ministry supervision, including the issues of confidentiality, ethics, quality control,
and legal concerns.

transference and counter-transference as they apply to individual ministry supervision.
4. Articulate their own framework of individual ministry supervision supported by current literature and
research.
5. Evaluate their strengths and areas for growth in the provision of individual ministry supervision in the
light of feedback from lecturers and fellow students.

experience God, discern life goals, engage in work and ministry. Students will be invited to reflect on
their own personality frameworks and the impact these have on their developing awareness of self, God
and the world in their everyday life experiences.

Upon successful completion of this unit, it is expected that students will be able to:
1. demonstrate an informed and critical appreciation of the basics of the Enneagram mapping system
2. articulate a reflective understanding of their personality type and its impact on their everyday lived
experience
3. assess the relevance of the Enneagram as a mapping tool for spiritual aspects of life particularly
related to prayer, discernment, work and ministry
4. identify and develop spiritual practices based on personality biases that promote personal spiritual
development and growth.

Sexuality, Spirituality and Intimacy (DS9126F)
15 Points
Intimacy is the capacity to commit oneself to particular individuals in relationships that last over time,
even though those relationships may call for significant sacrifice, compromise and ethical strength. The
commitment begins with oneself. Knowing oneself makes it possible to be in an intimate relationship
without taking over or losing self to the other. Intimacy, or deep friendship, is knowing another and
allowing oneself to be known. This applies within marriage, the celibate vocation, and the single life.
Intimacy with one’s self, is a prerequisite for intimacy with God and with the other.
This unit aims to help students explore what psychosexual maturity means and how sexuality, intimacy
and spirituality relate in the human person. The unit requires a reflective element in which the student
grows in his or her psychosexual awareness
Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this unit, it is expected that students will be able to:
6. demonstrate a working knowledge of psychosexual maturity and how that concept applies to them
7. prayerfully consider love, sexuality and intimacy.
8. explore, by way of sacred listening and sharing with each other, various issues which relate to
sexuality, intimacy and spirituality.
9. explore emotional and sexual maturity and to consider helpful strategies towards wholeness.
10. prayerfully consider personal sexual and affective history.
Pre-requisites

Study Tour: The Ignatian Camino (DS9123F)
Not offered in 2015 – 15 Points
Students will walk the 640 km pilgrim route taken by Saint Ignatius of Loyola in 1522 from his home in
Spain’s Basque country to Montserrat and Manresa. As a pilgrim the student will be on a 28-day outer
journey and an inner journey. The outer journey will be well marked. The inner journey less so. For
some it will be about forgiveness or reconciliation, for others a new direction or course in life, a
confirmation of a major life choice, or a renewed or rediscovered sense of personal identity. The “Camino
Ignaciano,” or the “Ignatian way” begins at the birthplace of Ignatius Loyola in Spain’s Basque country,
in a village near the small town of Azpeitia. From there, the route proceeds through picturesque
mountains, deserts, and plains, before ending in the town of Manresa near Barcelona. Ignatius rested in
this town for some months after his journey from Loyola. Manresa was a place of profound spiritual
enlightenment for him. Here he composed his spiritual masterpiece, the Spiritual Exercises. Students will
walk virtually the same route that Ignatius did, pass through many towns that he did, pray at churches
where he did, and marvel at the same natural wonders that he saw.
Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this unit, it is expected that students will be able to:
1. describe significant persons, places and issues in the Roman Catholicism at the time that Ignatius
made his pilgrimage
2. evaluate the role played by the pilgrimage on Ignatius self-understanding (Ignatius saw himself as The
Pilgrim”)
3. analyse the Autobiography of Ignatius in the light of their own journey
4. critically reflect on their pilgrimage experience.
Location
Campion Centre of Ignatian Spirituality (Australia) & Spain - ftwo one-day seminars of 7 hours each in
preparation for the pilgrimage; 7hrs/day during a 28-day pilgrimage; two one-day seminars of 7 hours
each in preparation for the pilgrimage (total 224 hours).

Synagogues, Villages and Towns: Using the Imagination in Contemplating
Gospel Narratives in Ignatian Prayer (DS9105F)
Not Offered in 2015 – 15 Points
This unit will explore the genre, structure, socio-historical context and theological emphases of the
Gospels, and the cultural and social situation of the Mediterranean world in New Testament times. The
key focus will be on the role of the imagination in prayer, as outlined by Saint Ignatius. When an
exercitant prays over a Gospel passage in making the Spiritual Exercises, he or she enters it as a
participant. The unit will give attention to early influences leading Ignatius to employ imaginative prayer
with the Gospel narratives within the Spiritual Exercises. It will explore the psychology of the human
imagination and its relevance to the practice of prayer in life, work and ministry.
Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this unit, it is expected that students will be able to:
1. outline the basic psychology of human imagining and its value for prayer
2. describe the influence of Ludolph of Saxony’s practice of imaginative contemplation upon Ignatius of
Loyola and his subsequent writing of the Spiritual Exercises
3. articulate the structure and subject outlines of the four Gospels and their particular use of symbols and
images
4. identify and develop skills in using imaginative prayer that enhance the ministry practice of spiritual
directors.

Theological Frameworks for Spiritual Direction (DD9014F)
15 Points
The action of the Spirit in us draws us toward union with God, making us more and more like Christ,
helping us take conscience of and appropriate Christ´s mystery in our lives in and through our own
spiritual experiences. Yet, we also carry out this process of appropriation within the context of a common
tradition, rooted in history and in continuous reflection, using particular ´reference´ points or theological
frameworks—Trinitarian, Christological, biblical, ecclesial and eschatological—that help us understand
God´s word of revelation in our personal and collective lives. Beginning with the unique narratives of the
students, this unit explores how these theological frameworks usually develop in a directee from family
and religious affiliation as well as educational, social, language and cultural experiences. Through theory
and opportunities for exploring their own personal narrative and spiritual experiences in relation to these
frameworks, the students will be helped to identify the meaning-world, images of God and images of self
by which a directee’s living is defined, often unconsciously.
Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this unit, it is expected that participants will be able to:
1. identify and describe the theological worldview(s) operative in the student’s own meaning-making
system and how they have changed
2. develop an understanding of why a directee might inhabit a particular theological world
3. detect the metaphors out of which a directee might be operating in terms of intentional and
operational images of God and self
4. demonstrate awareness of the inter-relationship of belief, values and action
5. assist a directee grow responsibly in his or her theological world, and, if appropriate, invite a person
into a changed theological paradigm.

Academic Conduct Policies
Attendance requirements
Students are expected to attend all lectures and tutorials, as set out in unit outlines. Students should advise
the lecturer if they are unable to attend. Attendance at the first lecture is particularly important. An
absence of more than 25% of lectures or tutorials in a unit is normally regarded as too great to sustain
active engagement in that unit and may impact adversely on the student's learning.
Policies on the Submission of Assignments
All assignments must be submitted with a cover sheet declaring that the assignment is the original work
of the student. These cover sheets are obtainable from the Sentir website: http://sentir.edu.auNormally
assignments should be mailed to the Sentir office WITH A STAMPED AND RETURNED
ADDRESSED ENVELOPE so that the paper can be returned. All students are required to keep copies of
their assignments in case of loss or the need for further moderation.
Marking System
Sentir uses the following system set by the University of Divinity for results, both of individual
pieces of assessment, and for a unit as whole:
85-100%
High Distinction
HD
75-84%
Distinction
D
65-74%
Credit
C
50-64%
Pass
P
0-49%
Fail
F
Withdrawn
W
Extension
E
Where a unit is marked on a pass / fail basis, the result is recorded as PP (Pass) or F (Fail).
Policy on Extensions for the Submission of Assignments
An application for extension of time to submit an assignment must be made to the lecturer before the due
date. Applications for extensions submitted on or after the due date will not be accepted. Extensions may
be granted by a lecturer in the following circumstances:
• the student requests the extension in writing (an email is acceptable), no later than one week prior to
the work being due
• the lecturer is satisfied of reasonable grounds for granting the extension
• the work is submitted no later than the new agreed due date.
Normally only a one-week extension will be given.
Extensions for personal reasons will be granted only in exceptional circumstances and when sufficient
evidence is given (e.g., a funeral notice, medical certificate from a doctor and/or a letter from other
helping professional). The type of reason that would allow for an extension of time would be:
• The death of an immediate family member
- 77 -
Handbook 2015
• A severe emotional disturbance
• Sickness.
Students who are experiencing unforeseen personal, family or medical problems are encouraged to speak
to the Dean early in the semester or at enrolment to assist them to organise a study plan that is
manageable.
Extensions will not be granted on the following grounds:
• Computer crashes – it is the responsibility of students to ensure proper backup of assignments.
• Clashes in assignment dates – students should compose an assessment schedule at the start of each
semester and manage their time accordingly.
• Pressure of paid employment – it is the responsibility of students to ensure that their unit load reflects
the level of work commitments that they have.
Withdrawal from a Unit or a Course
Students who wish to withdraw their enrolment in any unit or the course as a whole must complete a
‘Change of Enrolment Form’ and inform the lecturer(s) in the unit(s) concerned. If the student is
withdrawing from all units for that semester, the form should also include an application for leave of
absence from the course if permissible. The completed form should be signed and returned to the Sentir
office. The form will then be signed by the Dean who will contact students if there is any problem with
the withdrawal.
If a student withdraws from a class before the census dates for each semester, the enrolment will not be
recorded on the student’s academic transcript. The census dates for regular semester units are mid-March
for Semester I units and mid-August for Semester II units each year. Please note that no refund of fees
can be made after the census date.
Withdrawals approved up to four weeks before the end of the teaching semester will be recorded as a
‘Withdrawn’ mark on the student’s academic record. Withdrawals in the last four weeks of the teaching
semester will normally be recorded as a Fail. Students who do not notify the Sentir office of their
intention to withdraw, and who do not complete the requirements for the unit will be regarded as having
failed, and a Fail will be entered on their transcript.
Academic Misconduct
Plagiarism is the most common form of academic misconduct. It involves the copying and use of the
work of another person without proper acknowledgment. Plagiarism may take several forms. Any of the
following — without full acknowledgment of the debt to the original source being made — constitutes
plagiarism, and is prohibited by students enrolled with Sentir:
• direct duplication, i.e. copying (or allowing to be copied) another’s work, whether from a book,
article, website, another student’s assignment or personal lecture notes, etc.;
• paraphrasing another’s work closely, with minor changes but with the essential meaning, form and / or
progression of ideas maintained;
• piecing together sections of the work of another or others into a new whole;
• submitting one’s own work for a unit or thesis material that has already been submitted for assessment
purposes in another unit or thesis (unless acknowledgment was made prior to the unit or thesis being
commenced, and written permission given by the Academic Board);

Handbook 2015
• producing assignments in conjunction with other people (e.g. another student, or a tutor) that should
be the student’s own independent work;
• having another person write an essay or assignment (whether for pay or voluntarily) on the student’s
behalf;
• purchasing essays or assignments from online repositories or elsewhere;
• copying from or otherwise using the answer of any other person engaged in the performance of the
same or comparable component of assessment, or permitting any other person to copy from or
otherwise use his or her answer;
• submit or represent as the work of the student the whole or part of published or unpublished material
prepared by some other person, whether in written, recorded, electronic, web-based or any other form;
• fabricate, falsify or report dishonestly the outcomes of research or study.
Academic Transcript
Upon request, the Sentir office can supply an enrolment summary to a student. Students who have
completed a degree or diploma and who require an official academic transcript (signed by the Registrar of
the University of Divinity and on special paper) should contact the University of Divinity Office on +61 3
9853 3177.
Online – Learning Management System
Many of the units offered through Sentir are supported by our online Learning Management System. By
using this system, lecturers create opportunities for students to access online resources such as
Powerpoint presentations, class notes, essay topics, unit outlines, online seminars and so on.
Sentir students will be given a user name, a password and instruction on the use of the system so that they
can access the material that lecturers have uploaded onto the Sentir web site: www.sentir.edu.au
Graduation
The University of Divinity holds one conferral ceremony per year. Students who have completed their
Graduate Diplomas, Graduate Certificates or Masters degrees, should inform the Registrar at the Sentir
office by the end of February in the year they wish to receive their degree. Names of students eligible to
graduate are sent to the University of Divinity office by Sentir office. Graduands must then complete an
application to graduate and return it to the University of Divinity office several weeks in advance of the
ceremony. Students who are unsure of whether they are eligible to graduate, and those who wish to apply
to graduate, should contact the Sentir office for advice at the earliest opportunity.
