(vii) that a student may be permitted to proceed to an honours course on the basis of diploma results in the
relevant field, provided that this is subject to the normal rules for honours admission, course structure
and other matters;
(viii) that, subject to (xiii), to prevent proliferation of undergraduate diploma titles and repeated enrolment by
any student in sub-bachelor courses within the same area of knowledge, there be only four qualifications
available: Diploma in Arts, Diploma in Commerce, Diploma in Design and Diploma in Science – within
each of which a wide range of different majors may be offered;
(ix) that the University resolve to extend undergraduate diplomas beyond ‘skills-based’ fields, making them
potentially available in all fields that offer a major; and that the principle embodied in Rec. 29 in the
Review of Course Structures report be modified accordingly;
(x) that, subject to (xiii), concurrent enrolment in an undergraduate diploma and a bachelor degree be
disallowed after any students who are already so enrolled before 2012 have completed their diploma;
(xi) that, as the defined responsibilities of the Interim Boards of Studies (IBoS) include majors along with
related matters such as prerequisites, and undergraduate diplomas comprise majors in a different form,
the appropriate IBoS be responsible for advising Academic Council (through the Board of Coursework
Studies) on the approval and structure of any proposed undergraduate diploma;
(xii) that the rules for undergraduate diplomas be as shown in Appendix C pending clarification of
nomenclature for the diploma;
(xiii) that the Diploma in Modern Languages continue to be offered concurrently pending a comprehensive
review in 2013 to assess the desirability of its retention.
