11 Important Information: The delivery mode for Theology units may include combinations of the following: lectures, tutorials, seminars, videoconference and/or live webinar classes, online delivery and extended resources on LEO. Any unit that is currently listed as being delivered on campus may be delivered on campus in flexible mode if the student numbers are too low at any one campus. In this case, students are required to purchase a headset with a microphone. A Logitech headset such as the USB H390 is adequate and generally works with both PCs and MACs for desktops and laptops. For tablets (Android or ipad), use a headset without a microphone. Additionally, students need to access their ACU s regularly as there are times when lecturers delivering flexibly or online will contact students by . Study Modes - Attendance: Unit delivered primarily via face-to-face or video conference attendance, at an ACU campus or another location. - Multi-mode: Unit delivered via a combination of online content and a compulsory attendance component (including examinations, practicums, residentials etc). - Online: Unit delivered fully online (including assessments). Prerequisites - A prerequisite is a requirement that must be met by a student before enrolment in a stipulated unit. It is your responsibility to ensure that you meet all prerequisites prior to enrolling in a unit. 3.
