The Faculty's coursework postgraduate programs feature flexible and innovative attendance patterns, designed to suit busy practising professionals.

Attendance patterns range from part-time evening classes to full-time attendance of separate week-long or equivalent sessions (i.e. attendance over five consecutive days or two-and-a-half days on a given week, two-and-a-half days on another). This permits students to tailor study to their professional and personal lives and allows those living in the country, interstate or overseas to participate. Specific attendance dates are available from the Faculty Office.

The following regulations are to be read in conjunction with the University's Rules and By-law, as indicated in the UTS: Calendar and published online at:

Graded awards in Graduate Diploma courses

Graded awards in Graduate Diploma courses (except for the Graduate Diploma in Planning) may be recommended by the Faculty Board for meritorious performance. Any such award is entirely within the discretion of the Faculty Board and the numeric calculation of level of performance is only one of the matters taken into consideration. The Faculty Board would not normally consider for graded awards any student who has not obtained the following numeric levels on the basis of a weighted average mark over the whole of the course.

• 75 and above – with Distinction
• 65 to less than 75 – with Credit.

Discontinuation of registration

The registration of a Graduate Certificate, Diploma or Master's candidate may be discontinued if the Faculty Board is dissatisfied with his or her progress.

Faculty Board may deem unsatisfactory progress to include the following:

• failure in any two subjects
• failure in a subject twice.
