Students are required to be in attendance at Queenscliff every day for the whole course. Accommodation arrangements are made for students who do not live in the area. It is not practical to commute from Melbourne because of the need to use tides at all times of the day and night. Students wishing to take the course should enrol as for any other third year course. The unit is subject to a strict quota because of the facilities at Queenscliff.
Selection is made as soon as the marks for subjects become available.
The course is designed for students who have just completed second year and to complement the Marine Invertebrate Zoology unit that precedes it, but all eligible students will be considered. Successful students will receive a letter of offer before Christmas with a reply deadline when business opens at the University in January. Please check with the university that the address listed on your record is the correct one or make arrangements to have the letter forwarded to you upon receipt. Students sending late acceptances may find that their place has been allocated to somebody on the waiting list. The letter of offer will contain instructions on the procedures to follow for travel arrangements, housing, food and what to bring to Queenscliff.
