1. JD Stream Allocation

JD students are reminded that they should only attend the unit stream to which they are allocated.  Changing streams midway through the trimester without faculty approval, or attending classes in another stream, is not permitted. It is not fair on the lecturer as each lecturer is responsible for the learning and assessment of students allocated in his/her stream (with one-off circumstances notwithstanding, and requiring specific approval).  Lecturers will only be provided assignments and examinations for his/her stream.
