Current Students

CTC has a number of study tools and resources available to help you make the most of your student experience. You can use these to ensure you are aware of key dates, policies and other expectations during your study from how to enrol in units or update your personal details, to grading and assessment information.

The University of Divinity approved five graduate attributes in 2012 and these continue to provide strong guidance. The attributes shape all the university’s courses of study with each course and unit of study aligning its learning outcomes with the graduate attributes. These attributes establish the university’s aspirations for all of its graduates.

• All postgraduate and HDR students are invited to attend CTC Staff/Postgraduate seminars.
• All staff, postgraduate and HDR students are invited to attend University of Divinity Philosophy Discipline seminars that concentrate on philosophy and scholarship in the history of ideas.
• HDR students and their supervisors are invited four times a year to HDR seminars provided by CTC. These events include some research-seminar activities, updates of progress, raising of issues and sharing of experiences and challenges. This is a valuable collegial event.
• The University of Divinity Research Conference is an annual gathering of faculty and HDR students providing attendees with an opportunity of presenting a short presentation of current research.
• Please see our Events Calendar for more information.

• ARK is the University of Divinity’s online Learning Management System.
• For more information please read the ARK guide (see right).
• Note that the units in which you are enrolled will not be visible until 7 days prior to your first class.
• You will lose access to your completed units approximately a month after end of semester.
• If you have any difficulties, visit the ARK support page or contact the registrar

Your responsibility as a student or staff member of the university is to adhere to academic integrity and the Code of Conduct. For more information visit CTC Student Essentials on ARK.

University of Divinity holds graduation ceremonies each year, at which students graduate in person or in absentia (in their absence). CTC looks forward to celebrating with our graduands in person where possible at the Melbourne ceremony.

Graduands have the choice to graduate in person or in absentia at one of the ceremonies.

• CTC will contact potential graduands before the graduation process.
• Once eligibility is confirmed, students have to opt-in to graduate at a graduation ceremony.
• There is no cost for attending the ceremony, apart from hire or purchase of academic dress.
• All graduating students are advised to check the graduation page on the University of Divinity website for information concerning graduation, or contact the Registrar.

The census date is the final day on which students can withdraw from a unit and receive a refund of tuition fees, and have the unit removed from their academic transcripts. Students who withdraw from a unit after the census date for that unit will not receive a refund of fees and will have the unit recorded on their academic transcript. The census dates for standard 12-week semester-length units are listed in the key dates for the academic year. Every unit is assigned a census date.
