Some departments have computers available for their graduate students - please consult your department administrator to see whether this option is available.

Computer Facilities

The Faculty currently runs five computer labs for its students. Most are located in J basement and are available to Faculty students when not booked for teaching. Lab bookings are posted outside each lab with times available to students.

The labs are:

JB.01 PC Lab (20 PCs)
JB.02 Screen and Media Teaching Lab (Screen & Media students only)
JB.03 PC Lab (30 PCs)
JB.08 PC Lab (22 PCs)
JB.11 Psychology Teaching Lab (24 PCs) (available after hours for Psychology students only)

Other computer facilities on campus include:

KB Lab Languages Lab (available after hours for Language students)
Information Commons (120 computers) The Central Library

However, these labs can be used after hours once after hours access has been programmed onto your student ID card. You will need to obtain an application form from the Faculty Information Centre which is then taken to Security (B Block Annex) for issue. The charge is $15.00 p.a.

The Department should have processes that:

• Check that students meet the requirements for enrolment before recommending approval of enrolment to the Dean, through the Faculty Office;
• Arrange for effective supervision and monitoring of candidates and maintain audit trails;
• Check that there will be continuity of supervision for the candidate throughout the research process, provided that the research is completed within the appropriate time-frame, and have contingency measures in place that allow for the candidate to be adequately supervised in the event that a supervisor is absent for extended periods (more than four consecutive weeks);
• Approve initial thesis topics and check that adequate resources can be made available at the times required;
• Monitor progress and attempt to resolve any difficulties that become apparent;
• Provide guidance and support to candidates;
• Support candidates when they have problems with supervision or with departmental processes;
• Provide support for supervisors;
• Intervene to remedy any defects in supervision or student progress;
• Maintain quality assurance processes which regularly review and improve departmental processes.
