Welcome<br />
We are pleased to welcome you to study at the <strong>International</strong> School <strong>of</strong> Business and Technology (ISBT)<br />
and the <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>New</strong> <strong>England</strong> (UNE). This <strong>Handbook</strong> provides academic and administrative<br />
information to support and help you enjoy your studies and your time in Australia.<br />
ISBT staff are your first point <strong>of</strong> contact for enquires ranging from enrolment procedures to English<br />
language and academic assistance, visa conditions and other help and advice. If you have any<br />
difficulties, all staff are here to help overcome them.<br />
Your lecturers are well qualified in their field and can advise on academic matters and information<br />
relating to the units they teach such as assignments and exam preparation.<br />
There is also a UNE-based course coordinator for each unit. They are responsible for the creation <strong>of</strong><br />
the unit materials, the moderation <strong>of</strong> all assessment tasks, the resolution <strong>of</strong> issues brought to their<br />
attention by ISBT lecturers, and the finalisation <strong>of</strong> unit grades.<br />
As a student <strong>of</strong> ISBT and UNE you also have responsibilities. These include advising ISBT staff <strong>of</strong> your<br />
Australian address within 7 days <strong>of</strong> arrival in Australia and advising staff <strong>of</strong> any changes to your<br />
address and contact details during your stay. You also need to understand your visa conditions.<br />
We look forward to helping ensure you have every chance at success in your studies, and hope that<br />
you enjoy your time with ISBT and UNE while in Australia.<br />
