MQ2020 Study Plans

Students that started prior to 2020 and have a course code that ends with either a “-M” or a “-T” , will have received a study plan as a result of the curriculum review.

You must continue to follow this study plan, do not use Course Handbook as your degree requirements may have changed with the new curriculum - including different completion requirements. Your study plan also lists the old and new unit code changes that occurred in 2020, so you can check how you are progressing against your degree completion requirements. You need to make sure you are studying units that count towards your degree.
