Successfully fulfil core learning outcomes
Macquarie is committed to providing a learning environment that complements and enhances the University experience for all students.
Reasonable adjustments
Students with a disability or chronic health condition may have reasonable adjustments made to enable them to meet inherent requirements.
Reasonable adjustments could include:
- flexibility in assessments
- changed exam conditions
- provision of adaptive equipment
- participation support
- flexible teaching material
However, these adjustments:
- must not fundamentally change the nature of the inherent requirement
- be reasonable
- and cannot compromise the academic integrity of the course.
Inherent requirements
Students must meet the inherent requirements to complete a Macquarie University course or program and graduate.
Inherent requirements ensure students are given the opportunity to make informed decisions:
- as to whether a course or program is suitable and relevant for them, and
- the type of reasonable adjustments that could be put in place to allow them to complete the course without compromising the academic integrity of the course.
