A unit that must be successfully completed before a student can enrol into a stipulated unit. It is the student’s responsibility to ensure that prerequisites are met prior to enrolling in a unit that has a prerequisite listed.

Incompatible Unit

An incompatible unit is a unit that has been developed or incorporated into a new unit and given a new unit code. For example due to a recent course review, the Information Technology Units and some Entrepreneurial and Event Managements Unit codes have changed in 2020.If a new unit has an incompatible unit attached to it, it will be shown in the current Handbook entry and also on the 2020 Available Undergraduate Units page. Returning students should check for incompatible units to ensure they are not repeating a unit they have already done. A student should not enrol in a unit if they have completed the incompatible version of the unit. Students will not receive credit for both units.

Equivalent Unit

This unit is the same as another one and only one should be completed.
