What courses do I need to do?
To ensure that students are familiar with their program rules and requirements we ask that all students complete a self-progression check in the first instance. Then if you still have questions or concerns about your outstanding program requirements the Faculty would be happy to review your progression check and provide advice. To complete a progression check please use the following steps:
Step 1 – Print out your studies report from mySI-net using the following steps:
- Log into mySI-net
- From the top left-hand side menu select the option for ‘Studies Report’
- Follow the prompts
Step 2 – Select your program from the list: http://www.uq.edu.au/study/faculty.html?faculty=hss
Step 3 – Select your year of commencement from the top right hand side and click ‘Change’.
Step 4 – Go to ‘Program Rules and Requirements’ and ensure that you have understanding of your program requirements, for example, do you need to select a major; is there an advanced level requirement etc. Once you understand your program requirements you can move to the next step.
Step 5 - Select the green course list button on the left hand menu.
Step 6 – Compare your studies report to the course list and tick off the courses you have completed, and note the courses you are planning to complete in the future. Ensuring that you have completed all of your compulsory courses, and courses towards your major(s).
Step 7 – Once you have gone through and ticked off all of your completed courses, view your program rules and requirements again to ensure that you are meeting all requirements (e.g. overall structural requirements, advanced level requirements etc). Ensure you can tick off that you have completed (or are planning to complete) all of the requirements.
