Distance Education Units

The Centre for Open Education (COE) assists students undertaking external units or courses, such as the various undergraduate degrees by distance education. COE provides advice and guidance and, where possible, liaises with other University staff on the student's behalf.

The responsibilities of COE include:

• processing of applications / offers  and enrolments for 1st year external / distance students;
• the organisation and distribution of the various forms of teaching materials (including, for some units, CD) to students;
• the electronic registration, receipt, and return of all distance education assignments;
• assisting with compulsory on-campus sessions and field trips: registration (for some units) and the production of the schedule 

Student Support

Distance education students are encouraged to contact COE to discuss problems related to study, contact with lecturers or any other difficulties which affect students with reduced access to the functions of the University. The best way to get answers to your questions or concerns is to go to www.ask.mq.edu.au
