Reference the recent mailbase discussion, it may be of
interest to know of the policy statement recently agreed by
our Committee on Teaching & Learning (it is subject to
Senate and Court approval, which is likely):
"The University is sympathetic to the financial burdens
placed upon students and recognises that many full-time
students undertake part-time paid employment to provide
financial support for their studies. The University's
general guideline is that full-time students should spend
no more than 15 hours per week undertaking employment
during term-time. Notwithstanding this guideline, it
remains the students' responsibility to ensure that their
employment commitments do not conflict with the academic
requirements of their studies. Where a potential conflict
is expected to arise in regard to fulfilling the attendance
and/or performance requirements of a particular course,
students are strongly recommended to seek advice from the
relevant Course Organiser or Head of Department, as
appropriate, before undertaking their employment duties."
