Some subjects have compulsory attendance requirements .
These include laboratory-based applied science and engineering subjects, and studio art subjects which require student access to equipment.

Details of attendance requirements are outlined in the subject guides for these subjects. Many subjects arrange non-compulsory classes at weekend schools on the Gippsland campus .
