Continuing students only - BEd (Sport, Health & Physical Education) Secondary - recommended enrolment pattern
Students are able to enrol in any offered mode of a course (on-campus, distance education or online), regardless of the program mode of study they enrolled in.
Students are strongly encouraged to follow the recommended enrolment pattern for their specialisation. This is particularly important in respect to Professional Experience. Delaying Professional Experience may delay program completion by up to four (4) years.
Students following a non-standard enrolment pattern should consult the section to ascertain if a course is offered in another semester.
Note: Minimum enrolment numbers apply to all courses. Should enrolments not meet the minimum number required, students may be transferred to a different mode or offering and advised of this change prior to semester start.
Note: The Sport, Health & Physical Education (Secondary) specialisation is available on-campus at Fraser Coast, Springfield and Toowoomba.
For further information and guidance on teaching areas please refer to for advice.
