* Summer Term 2009 Printed Course Manual

Dear Postgraduate Aviation Students,

We would like to inform you that the printed course manuals will NOT be available for 2009 Summer Term courses. No orders will be taken from students enrolled in Summer Term courses. This is due to the early University closure for Christmas and New Year. The University will close from COB on Friday 19 Dec 2008 and will re-open on Monday 5 January 2009.

All students enrolled in the Summer courses will need to access their study material online from WebCT Vista and print in their own facilities. Materials will be available to you online on Friday 12 December 2008.

We apologise for this inconvenience. This service will be available to you again for Semester 1 & 2, 2009.
