Single subject non-award study provides the general public with access to a wide variety of tertiary level units. Some units have prerequisites or special requirements, but most are open to all.
A non-award unit is a unit of study from a degree course or courses that does not lead to a degree. If successfully completed, the unit may be counted as credit towards a degree course at Deakin, subject to admission to a degree course and approval by the faculty.
The successful completion of a single unit does not automatically qualify a student for admission to an award course at Deakin. Anyone wishing to enrol in an award course after completing a non-award unit will be required to complete the normal application process and their application will be considered with all other applicants.
If admitted to a unit/s, students must complete all administrative, academic and examination requirements in order to obtain formal acknowledgement that they have completed all requirements of the unit.
