Academic Plans

Each student will be assigned to two academic plans throughout their candidature:

• one plan designating the academic element (i.e. School, Department or Research Centre) in which the research is being conducted
• the other plan designating the discipline area (i.e. field of education) to which the research project is classified.

Throughout their candidature, students maintain a current enrolment by enrolling each semester/trimester in the research course which relates to their academic load of full-time or part-time.
